Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to conduct a longitudinal examination to assess the relationship between lifestyle habits, including exercise habits, and the incidence of undernutrition after the Great East Japan Earthquake.Methods: We included residents aged 60 years or more who lived in the evacuation area municipalities from 2008 to 2010 before the disaster. A total of 31,411 participants (14,350 men and 17,061 women) who underwent a physical examination during this period were followed-up through 2017. We estimated the associations between undernutrition after the disaster and lifestyle factors using a multivariate-adjusted analysis with a Cox proportional hazard regression model. The variables included the model were evacuation, exercise habits, meals before bedtime, history of gastrointestinal surgery, history of lifestyle-related diseases, and 2 or more subjective symptoms.Results: In all, 1721 of the 13,378 participants were newly undernourished after the disaster. The statistically significant variables influencing the occurrence of undernutrition were non-evacuation (hazard ratio, 1.31; 95% confidence interval 1.17–1.47), poor exercise habits (HR, 1.14; 95% CI 1.03–1.50), and poor physical activity (HR, 1.12; 95% CI 1.01–1.25). Other related variables were surgical history, lifestyle-related diseases, and two or more subjective symptoms. No statistically significant interactions with exercise habits were identified for each lifestyle factor. Conclusions: These results suggest that regular exercise and/or maintaining physical activity might be important, regardless of sex, other lifestyle habits, or past medical history, in preventing undernutrition following a disaster.

Group Allocation

Introduction:Social isolation and death alone in the prefabricated temporary housing after a disaster has been a social concern. The importance of social ties among the community has been suggested and several reports pointed out the positive effect of “group allocation” which preserves pre-existing local social ties compared to the “lottery allocation”.Japan Red Cross Society recommended “group allocation” as a better option than “lottery allocation” on their guidelines. However, many municipalities carried out “lottery allocation” for temporary housing arrangement after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE).Aim:To collect the information about the accelerating factors and bottlenecks when practicing the “group allocation”.Method:In-depth interview was conducted between August and November 2013. Interviewees were the professionals of disaster management, individuals who were involved in arranging the prefabricated housing and the residents. This research was supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology in Japan.Results:This study found the municipality which carried out “group allocation” had characteristics such as: (1.) the staff in charge of housing arrangement had the information about the positive effect of “group allocation”, and (2.) pre-existing community leaders were able to gather residents’ opinions, and citizens were involved in the decision making to some content.Discussion:Although this study is based on the experience of a limited number of key persons, it would be useful to give the insight about the possible bottleneck for the practitioners who will be in charge of housing arrangement under the disaster setting in future. Also, the relevancy and evidence about “group allocation” should be carefully examined in the context of preventing social isolation as well as various long-term effects. It would be essential that the knowledge and experience will be accumulated and shared between municipalities in a usable and comparable format.
