概要 To achieve a vibrant, long-lived society, it is essential that elderly workers work productively while maintaining stress resilience over a long lifetime. Since the literature established that maintaining a favorable mental state improves workers’ performance, corporate H&PM (health and productivity management) programs started focusing on maintaining employees’ mental health. Health insurers began offering H&PM services to corporate policyholders in combination with insurance coverage. Following the medical finding that lifestyle habits have a significant impact on mental state, some insurers provide consultations on lifestyles to insured workers by analyzing information collected
from devices worn by insureds. This study explores what intervention to modify lifestyles an employer and its
insurer should make to improve mental health and performance of elderly employees. We constructed a logistic regression model targeting onset and aggravation of mental illness, and applied it to large-scale public corporate health insurance claims data from Japan combined with lifestyle data collected via wearable devices of workers up to 74 years old. The analysis revealed that having a daily sleep duration exceeding seven hours was positively related to the onset of depressions. We recognized no significance but a possibility that excessively long and/or short sleep duration (<6 and >7 hours) may aggravate mental illness. The results also showed excessive daily walking (>8,000 steps), short exercise time (<22 minutes) and/or alcohol consumption habit may develop and/or aggravate mental illness.
