| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effect of social capital and locus of control on perceived physical and mental health in the general Japanese population during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2021 to 2023 year. Three thousand citizens were randomly selected from the Chitose City Resident Register according to ten strata of sex and age-classes between 30 years to 79 years. More than 45% of them responded to the survey with their written informed consent. As a result, social capital measured three dimensions such as social support, social participation, and trust and reciprocity, and internal locus of control were significantly inversely associated with, but external locus of control was significantly positively associated with impaired physical and mental health after adjustment of lifestyle habits and lifestyle change affected by the pandemic. Strengthening social capital and internal locus of control, and weakening external locus of control may improve physical and mental health about distress.
