In 1995, Japan's Hanshin-Awaji area was severely damaged by a major earthquake. Lifestyle factors, sometimes associated with physical health and mortality, have also been known to be associated with mental health status. This report examines the relationship between the subsequent change in lifestyle and the psychological stress induced by the earth quake.
An investigation was made of 108 male inhabitants of Awaji Island as to their individual lifestyle before and after the great earthquake, any posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and their demographic variables.
The mean PTSD score was higher in the worse lifestyle group than in the no/better lifestyle change group. Category B or D of PTSD scores were higher in the worse lifestyle group than in the no/better lifestyle change group. The percentage of subjects who lived in temporary public housing was higher in the worse lifestyle group than in the no/better lifestyle change group.
Worse change in lifestyle might be associated with high PTSD score in victims of Hanshin-Awaji earthquake.
1995年，日本阪神-淡路地区遭受了一场大地震的严重破坏。生活方式因素有时与身体健康和死亡率相关，人们也已知其与心理健康状况有关。本报告探讨了地震后生活方式的变化与地震引发的心理压力之间的关系。
对淡路岛的108名男性居民进行了调查，了解他们在大地震前后的个人生活方式、任何创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状以及他们的人口统计学变量。
生活方式较差组的PTSD平均得分高于生活方式无变化/改善组。生活方式较差组的PTSD得分B类或D类高于生活方式无变化/改善组。生活方式较差组中居住在临时公共住房中的受试者百分比高于生活方式无变化/改善组。
阪神-淡路地震受害者生活方式的较差变化可能与高PTSD得分有关。
