抄録

We conducted a follow-up study on orthostatic dysregulation（OD）in 5325 Myanmar children, ages 10-13. 56.38％ were determined to diagnose as OD. Beginning by filling out a HQC method checklist, these OD-positive children engaged in lifestyle improvement activities Monday through Friday for 8 weeks. At the end of week 1, 38.03％ of the subjects were OD-positive, 27.72％ after week 2, 18.93％ after week 3, 13.69％ after week 4, 4.49％ after week 5, 1.52％ after week 6, 1.37％ after week 7, and reduced to 1.07％ after week 8. From these results we verified that OD symptoms can be improved by sustained check in lifestyle. We also confirmed the efficacy and appropriateness of the HQC method used in this research.
