Abstract
Health survey of peasants and fishermen was carried out in 1968 in two districts.
The one is T-district which has the character of a farm village, and the other is K-district which has that of a fishing village. Peasants were sampled from both T-district and K-district, and fishermen from K-district.
The peasants sampled from T-district are abbreviated as T, and those from K-district as K2, and the fishermen from K-district as K1.
1) Fatigue of the peasants (including both T and K2) is different from that of the fishermen, that is, the character of fatigue in the former is formed chiefly of physical fatigue, while in the latter, it is formed of psychial one.
2) Correlation of scores exists between husband and his wife on the questionaire about No-fu-Syndrome (occupational disease specific to farmers)
3) Correlation of scores exists between husband and his wife an the questionare about fatigue.
4) The mean flicker value of T is higher than that of K1 and K2.
5) Correlation of the frequency of anemia exists between husband and his wife as measured by Hb., serum protein and spg.
6) Working hours of fishermen are generally longer than that of peasants, and sleeping hours of peasants are longer than that of fishermen.
7) The wives of K1 and K2 engagelonger hour in household affairs than those of T.
8) A diagram for the evaluation of health condition was devised to see the difference at a glance.
9) Anequation was devised for the evaluation of fatigue and Nofu-Syndrome, using the scores on the questionaire about fatigue and No-fu-Syndrome, and flicker values.
