| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between pre-disaster physical functioning and lifestyle and PTSD symptoms five months after the earthquake in the Great East Japan Earthquake survivors.
As a result, among men, total score of the IES-R-J, a score of PTSD symptoms, was negatively associated with leg extension power, and positively associated with daily drinking and depressive symptoms. On the other hand, hypertension and depressive symptoms were positively associated with the total score of the IES-R-J.
Therefore, leg extension power is a potentially modifiable pre-disaster risk factor among men for attenuating the severity of PTSD symptoms associated with great disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake among men.
