The present researchers have previously examined morbidity associated with lifestyle-related diseases in students of Nagasaki University (aged 18–25 years) and used the results for promoting their health. On the other hand, study about workers of Nagasaki University was not enough. Through analysis of regular health examination data obtained from workers enrolled at Nagasaki University during 2010–2030, this study aims to identify the effects of lifestyle factors on physical and mental health in this population. The study will also attempt to identify specific measures that may aid in the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases.
