| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between high job stress load and the number of teeth present in middle-aged workers in Japan. The number of subjects was 366 people, and 186 were judged as high stress load for occupational stress, and 177 were judged as moderate and low stress.
It was revealed that the subjects who had high job stress loaded among middle-aged workers tended to have fewer present teeth compared with the low and moderate and low stress workers.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
2017年6月末現在で，我が国の事業所のうち，実施が義務付けられている事業所の82.9％において，ストレスチェック制度が実施されている。本研究はストレスチェック制度で用いられている職業性ストレス簡易調査表を用いた調査であり、汎用性が高い。
中高年労働者において職業性ストレス高負荷となった対象者は職業性ストレス中・低負荷に比べて現在歯数が少ない傾向にあることから、ストレスチェックで高ストレスに該当した場合、産業保健分野から歯科受診勧奨につながる。
