| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify the preventive effect of routine gargling against various symptoms or diseases, especially fever onset, we conducted a follow-up study with about 5000 children in Shizuoka, Fukuoka, and other prefectures. Although the association between routine gargling and the rate of fever onset was not clear in an ecological study in Shizuoka prefecture, fever-onset rate was slightly declined in children 6 years or younger. Gargling without tap water (e.g. green tea) was significantly associated with the lower rate of fever onset in female children.
