 note = {Obesity is associated with personality. The Type A behavior pattern (TABP), which is characterized by hostility and competitive 
behavior, is related to psychological stress. However, the relationship between obesity and the TABP has not been examined. This study aimed to examine the relationship between obesity and the Type A behavior pattern in 3,099 Japanese workers. The Type A behavior pattern was measured via the Maeda Type A Behavior Checklist. Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression adjusted for age, being current smokers, heavy drinker, lack of exercise, occupation, and rapid eating. The multivariate odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for obesity associated with TABP was 1.55 (1.13 to 2.13) in men. Regarding other variables, age, lack of exercise, and rapid eating were associated with obesity in men. The multivariate odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for obesity associated with TABP was 1.27 (0.81 to 2.02) in women. Regarding other variables, age and 
rapid eating were associated with obesity in women. The findings suggest that the Type A behavior pattern was associated with increased obesity prevalence in Japanese men. People with TABP tend to eat larger portions during mealtimes repeatedly by rapid eating; it is possible that eating large portions may lead to an increase weight in men with TABP., 長崎大学学位論文 学位記番号:博(医歯薬)甲第1024号 学位授与年月日:平成30年3月7日, Author: Sayaka Ogawa, Jun Tayama, Tatsuo Saigo, Atsushi Takeoka, Masaki Hayashida, Hironori Yamasaki, Yuji Shimizu, Susumu Shirabe, Citation: Acta Medica Nagasakiensia, 61(3), pp.105-110; 2018, Nagasaki University (長崎大学), 博士(医学) (2018-03-07)},
