Trajectories of liver dysfunction and long-term evacuation status after the great East Japan earthquake
In the Fukushima Health Management Survey (FHMS), the association between subsequent evacuation status, such as return and continued evacuation, and trends in liver dysfunction remains unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated this association using FHMS data through fiscal year (FY) 2018. The 34,435 (14,063 men and 20,372 women) study participants underwent a Comprehensive Health Check, answered the Mental Health and Lifestyle Survey questionnair…
Validation and modification of the AFHCHDC7 risk score for predicting the long-term cardiovascular disease risk after the Great East Japan Earthquake
This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of the AFHCHDC7 risk score, developed for post-disaster cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk management, for 6-year CVD risk in Fukushima Prefecture after the Great East Japan Earthquake compared to the Suita CVD risk score and to modify the AFHCHDC7 risk score. The present study comprised 14,779 individuals aged 30–79 years with no history of CVD at baseline who underwent the comprehensive hea…
Longitudinal Trends in Blood Pressure Associated with The Changes in Living Environment Caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake
The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on 11 March 2011, forcing Fukushima Prefecture residents to change their living environment. Such sudden changes possibly have long-term effects on cardiovascular-related diseases. We therefore sought to identify temporal relationships between living environment changes and blood pressure levels over three years following the earthquake. Participants included 14,941 men and 21,533 women aged 16 years or ol…
Lifestyle Factors Associated with Undernutrition in Older People after the Great East Japan Earthquake
We conducted a longitudinal examination to assess the relationship between lifestyle habits, including exercise habits, and the incidence of undernutrition after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011. Of the 31,411 participants aged ≥60 years who lived in the municipalities' evacuation areas before the disaster and had undergone health examinations, 17,622 persons with a body mass index of 20-25 kg/m 2 were followed up through the FY 2017…
Association between Dietary Diversity and Sociopsychological Factors and the Onset of Dyslipidemia after the Great East Japan Earthquake
This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the onset of low-density lipoprotein hypercholesterolemia (hyper-LDLemia), high-density lipoprotein hypocholesterolemia (hypo-HDLemia), and hyper-triglyceridemia (hyper-TGemia) and lifestyle/socio-psychological factors among Fukushima evacuation area residents after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Participants included 11,274 non-hyper-LDLemia, 16,581 non-hypo-HDLemia, and 12,653 non-hyper-TGe…
The Associations between Evacuation Status and Lifestyle-Related Diseases in Fukushima after the Great East Japan Earthquake
Our findings imply the need for continuous support for evacuees in banned areas
Dietary pattern changes in Fukushima residents after the Great East Japan Earthquake
Objective: Dietary patterns more closely resemble actual eating behaviours because multiple food groups, not a single food group or nutrient, are considered. The present study aimed to identify and assess changes of dietary patterns in Fukushima residents. Design: Dietary data were collected using a short-form FFQ in annual Fukushima Health Management Survey between 2011 and 2013 after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Year- and sex-specific dieta…

Management of rainfall-related environmental risks in urban area
Rainfall brings urban residents both benefits, such as water resources, but also adverse risks such as flooding. Additionally, it has been recognized that wet weather run-off discharges pollutants and transfers chemicals and pathogen bacteria into the aquatic ecosystem. This causes not only deterioration of water quality but also environmental pollution risk. Both the flood risk and environmental pollution risk are treated here as ‘rainfall-relat…
Teacher Internship and the Culture of Teaching in Japan
Japan's teacher internship was a hotly debated political issue for three decades until the legislature finally approved its implementation in 1988. The aim of this paper is to explore how the culture of teaching mediated the implementation of the government‐sponsored teacher internship. The data presented in this paper come from ethnographic research conducted in 1989 with a focus on three elementary public schools in Tokyo. Our findings suggest …
