Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of mortality before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake. This study examined the Miyagi Cohort Study, which included the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. As a result, a significant increase in mortality was observed in the northeastern coast areas (Kahoku, Kitakami, Onagawa, and Karakuwa), which were devastated by Tsunami after the Earthquake. As compared with the 2010 year, increased mortalities from malignant neoplasms, pneumonia, and ischemic heart disease in 2011 and were mortalities from pneumonia and suicide in 2012.
