초록

Earthquake disasters have a significant impact on the tendency for obesity. Body fat readily increases because physical activity is restricted. The Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred several years ago was probably not an exception. However, no detailed examinations of the effects on body composition have yet been reported. One reason for the lack of findings verifying the detailed effects on people’s bodies, even though six years have passed since the disaster, is that no method of verification has been clearly established. In this study, by analyzing the age-related changes to body composition scientifically, we attempted to verify the effects of earthquake disasters from a comparison with normal age-related changes. The subjects were boys and girls from an elementary school in the region affected by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture. Their body composition was measured and height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and muscle percentage were calculated. A wavelet interpolation model was applied to the cross-sectional age-related changes in BMI, body fat percentage, and muscle percentage in first to sixth grade elementary school students. As a control group, the wavelet interpolation model was applied in the same way to the age-related changes in body composition of elementary school students in an area completely unaffected by the earthquake disaster. The age-related changes in body composition of the elementary school students in the two areas were compared. The results showed that in the age-related changes in body fat percentage and muscle percentage, the Fukushima schoolchildren tended to have a higher body fat percentage and lower muscle percentage. There was also a slight difference between the two areas in the emergence of the local peak velocity in the age-related changes. However, it is difficult to determine the effects of the nuclear power plant disaster from the present results alone. They may be further clarified in the future by deriving the results up through junior high school.
