| Research Abstract |
This study found that people worrying about some disease were likely to take genetic tests detecting the susceptibility to the same disease. Thus they may be more easily affected by the tests than others. The questionnaire survey found that the negative genetic test had risk to recurrence an undesirable lifestyle, especial in people restricting their preferred lifestyle. The genetic information should be carefully informed in this case. It is found that the effect of the notification of the genetic test was not observed in most items about the lifestyle. Although we need detailed analyses in future, the genetic tests might not be usable to the health promotion and prevention of disease.
