OBJECTIVES: The amount of research relating to evaluation of intervention programs with regard to sense of coherence, a concept of salutogenic stressor coping capacity, is increasing in Japan. However, a nationally representative score of the Japanese version of the sense of coherence scale has not yet been reported. The aim of this study was to describe the 13-item, 7-point Japanese sense of coherence scale (SOC-13), with scoring by sex and age group, and to examine the relationships between the score and locality and city size.METHODS: Four thousand Japanese men and women were selected by stratified random sampling, and a cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted using the placement method. Responses were obtained from 2,067 individuals (response rate: 51.7%). This study analyzed 956 men and 1,107 women (mean age [standard deviation]: 50.0 [14.3]).RESULTS: The mean score on the SOC-13 was 59.0 (12.2) in all participants, 59.1 (11.8) in men, and 58.9 (12.5) in women. No significant difference was found between men and women (P=0.784). ANOVA and multiple comparison for age difference showed a clear relationship (P
