摘要：The objective of the present study is to investigate the association between various occupational stressors and heavy drinking among male Japanese workers in different age groups. Using the Generic Job Stress Questionnaire, 13 occupational stressors and 2 workplace support indicators were assessed. The questionnaire survey was conducted of 25,104 workers, and the present study analyzed the data from 17,501 male workers. Heavy drinking was defined as weekly alcohol consumption of >275 g, and a total of 1,131 men (6.5%) were classified as heavy drinkers. After adjusting for shift work, occupational class, marital status and smoking, heavy drinking was related to "support from supervisor" for the 18-29 and 50-72 yr-old groups. For the 30-39 yr-old group, heavy drinking was related to "intragroup conflict", "job control" and "cognitive demands." For the 40-49 yr-old group, heavy drinking was related to "physical environment", "quantitative workload" and "underutilization of abilities." The present study clarified that certain occupational stressors relate to heavy drinking, and that this association varies among different age groups.
