@entity1 @entity2194 @entity936 @entity5427
IMPORTANCE: @entity2194 has become an important health problem. A lack of concordance between self-reported symptoms and the outcome of @entity936 has raised questions about @entity2194 . OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between subjective happiness and objective and subjective symptoms of @entity2194 . DESIGN: The study adopted a cross-sectional design. SETTING: All the employees of a company in Osaka, Japan. @entity1 : 672 Japanese office workers using Visual Display Terminals (age range: 26-64 years). METHODS: The @entity936 measurement tools included the Schirmer test, conjunctivocorneal staining, the tear film break-up time, as well as the administration of a @entity936 questionnaire. @entity5427 was measured by the Subjective @entity5427 Scale. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: @entity936 , @entity936 questionnaires, and the Subjective @entity5427 Scale score. RESULTS: Of the 672 workers, 561 (83.5%) completed the questionnaires and examinations. The mean Subjective @entity5427 Scale score was 4.91 (SD = 1.01). This score was inversely correlated with the @entity936 score (r = -0.188, p < 0.001), but was not associated with objective findings which include conjunctivocorneal staining, low Schirmer test score, or low tear film break-up time. The level of subjective happiness was the lowest in the group without objective results, but reported subjective symptoms of @entity936 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: There is evidence of the relationship between subjective happiness and self-reported symptoms of @entity936 . Findings of this study revealed a new perspective on @entity2194 , including the potential for innovative treatments of a specific population with @entity2194 .
