Research Abstract

Currently, in the field of occupational health, management of lifestyle disease has become one of most important issues. In addition, disease susceptibility, which indicates vulnerability to various environmental factors, has been elucidated at the gene level using molecular epidemiology. In this study, we used factory workers, from whom it is relatively easy to receive lifestyle and health examination data, as the target population. We explored the relevance of candidate genes and lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity and hypertension. Additionally, this study was conducted to examine whether the genetic diagnosis of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, which defines drinking behavior is useful in supporting those who want to decrease their alcohol intake. The weekly alcohol intake tended to decrease in the notified group, although the result was not significant.
