Background: Perceived stress and coping strategies may influence the risk of cardiovascular disease through their possible association with inflammation, but data remain controversial for perceived stress or scanty for coping strategies.Purpose: We examined the associations of perceived stress and coping strategies with serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) in a Japanese general population.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2,971 men and 4,902 women aged 40–69 years who were enrolled between 2005 and 2007. Subjects with possible inflammation-related disease, CRP levels ≥3,000 ng/mL, or currently used analgesics or lipid-lowering drugs were excluded. Analyses were performed by gender with adjustment for lifestyle, socioeconomic, and psychosocial factors.Results: Unexpectedly, elevated perceived stress was significantly associated with lower CRP levels in men (Ptrend < 0.001) but not in women (Ptrend = 0.90) after adjustment for age and covariates. Among five items of coping strategies evaluated, “disengagement” showed a significant inverse association with CRP in men only (Ptrend = 0.027). In addition, a possible interaction between “emotional support seeking” and perceived stress on CRP was detected in men (Pinteraction = 0.021); “emotional support seeking” was associated with lower CRP at the high stress level only (Ptrend = 0.028).Conclusions: Both perceived stress and coping strategies may be associated with systemic inflammation in Japanese men, yet caution must be exercised before accepting the stress–inflammation–disease pathway.抄録：英語フィールド
