| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The first study I did was to investigate the relationship between living arrangements and dietary intake among evacuees. The data of 52,314 subjects responded to the questionnaire of The Fukushima Health Management Survey were used. The result suggests that after the earthquake, living in non-home-condition was associated with poor dietary intake of fruits and vegetables (non-juice), meat, soybean products, and dairy products.
Using the same data, I also assessed the hypothesis that reduced socioeconomic status due to the earthquake was associated with exacerbated cardiovascular symptoms among evacuees. A total of 73,433 subjects were included in the analyses. The result suggests that, after the earthquake, living in rental houses or apartments, evacuation shelters, or temporary housing rather than in relatives' homes or the own home was more likely to exacerbate cardiovascular symptoms among evacuees. Loss of employment was another risk factor for exacerbated headache and dizziness.
