It is said that the characteristic of the Type A behavior pattern among Japanese males is different from that among Western males, -that is low hostility, but high job-involvement in Japanese males. Therefore, the coronary-prone behavior among Japanese males may be also different from Western males. This study investigated the relationships between Type A components assessed by JAS and traditional coronary risk factors divided by ages, and the behavioral characteristics of tastes, and also occupational levels or school careers. A total of 2528 males undergoing regular health check-ups was evaluated with regard to the behavior pattern by JAS (form-C). The subjects were divided into three groups by ages (less than 44 y.o., 45 to 54 y.o., more than 55 y.o.) and analyzed by the Spearman correlation coefficients of JAS standard scores with coronary risk factors. The mean scores of JAS in the four groups were divided by the levels of cigarettes smoking, alcohol drinking or coffee consumption, and also divided by the occupational levels or school careers. These scores were compared by the analysis of variance with the Bonferroni test. The following results were obtained : 1) In the JAS scales, the score of factor J was significantly correlated (p<0.01) with some of coronary risk factors (obesity, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and uric acid). This tendency was distinct in the age group of less than 44 y.o. 2) The mean scores of factor J in the high levels of cigarettes smoking, alcohol drinking and coffee tasting were significantly greater (p<0.05) than the no-smoking, no-drinking and no-taste level. This tendency in the factor J was more distinct than other JAS scales. 3) The mean scores of the type A scale and factor J in managers were significantly greater (p=0.0001) than clerks, salesmen or technicians and self-supporters. And the mean scores of the three JAS scales without factor H in the subjects who had better than college educations were significantly greater (p=0.0001) than those of high-school graduates. These results show that the job-involvement is a noteworthy factor for healthy life, and suggest that this factor might be one of coronary-prone behaviors among Japanese younger males of Tokyo area.
