Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been revealed that prolonged shelter life caused by Fukushima Daiichi Nucle-ar Power Plant incident in conjunction with the Great East Japan Earthquake influ-ences sleep and mental health of the residents, and therefore its influence on their physical and emotional health has become a concern. Therefore, in this study, the au-thors aimed at clarifying actual situations of sleep and stress of middle age males liv-ing in shelters for a long period in each of emergency temporary houses and post-earthquake public houses.
As result, in comparison be-tween the life in the emergency temporary houses and post-earthquake public houses, significant variation was not recognized in their objective sleep states and saliva stress biomarkers though their subjective sleep and subjective stress were significantly wors-ened after moving to the post-earthquake public houses．
