 note = {The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating effects of healthrelated behaviors on the relationship between neighborhood trust and self-rated health by gender. We conducted a cross-sectional study in A Town, Okinawa in 2011. A questionnaire survey was sent to 7,425 residents (aged 20-79 years) who were selected random sampling from the Basic Resident Register. The number of responses and response rate were 1,271 (583 men, 688 women) and 17.3%, respectively. The questionnaire consisted of self-rated health as dependent variable, neighborhood trust as independent variable, health-related behaviors (breakfast intake, smoking, alcohol intake, sleeping habits and physical activity) as mediating variables, and socioeconomic and demographic variables as control variables. We applied logistic regression analysis to clarify the mediating effect using the traditional mediational model of Baron and Kenny, and Sobel test. As results, neighborhood trust was significantly associated with self-rated health in both men (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.6-5.9) and women (AOR = 2.1, 95%CI = 1.1-3.9), that the magnitude of the association was higher in men than in women, and that the associations were mediated by health-related behaviors such as alcohol intake in men (Sobel test statistics = 2.07, p = 0.038) and sleep duration in women (Sobel test statistics = 2.06, p = 0.039). This study suggests the importance of neighborhood social capital for health, especially in menʼs health, and show that the association was mediated by health-related behaviors; alcohol intake in men and sleep duration in women. Furthermore, the measures to promoting neighborhood social capital might improve drinking behaviors in men and sleep duration in women, and its effect on health behaviors could lead to improved selfrated health., 論文},
