Abstract
Secondary prevention is given priority in current cancer screenings in detriment to primary prevention. An evaluation of eating habits and education is made by analyzing the health survey questionnaires sent the examinees undergoing health checkups, based on for four points: A) facts related to the living environment, B) facts related to the frequency of food intake, C) facts related to dietary life, and D) facts related to the anamnesis of the examinee and his or her family). Eating habits are diagnosed and corrected based on five points:
1) how to consume the food, 2) how to consume breakfast, 3) how to consume salt, 4) how to consume vegetables and 5) interest in eating). It is important for examinees to review their eating habits at health checkups, and to have a chance to improve their lives from the viewpoint of preventing of life-style-related diseases and cancer.
The secondary prevention, by the recommendation of having cancer screening, is also important, and, furthermore, it is thought that the examinee's understanding of the benefits of healthy eating habits and exercise, based on a detailed history compiled by the health survey questionnaire, and a suggestion from the physician to the examinee regarding the improvement of his or her life-style, can lead to the primary prevention of cancer.
