Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the impact on the environment on the amount of physical activity and what kind of environmental factors are affecting the amount of physical activity.
Firstly, we made a map for spatial visualization of the physical activity amount by prefectures using a spatial epidemiology technique. We observed that there is a greater number of steps in the denser prefectures. Secondly, we examined the relationship between the social and natural environment and the number of steps using an ecological study. We observed a significant relationship between the number of steps with a number of city parks, private cars, and snow days a year, annual mean temperature, and increased rate of private cars. In addition, we find a relationship between physical activity related work environment and the incidence of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, low back pain, or kidney stones among workers using a cohort study.
