Survey of Menstruation on Female Teachers in Primary and Middle School

Abstract

A 36 Race Hygiene stoves being rarely used, and the indoor temperature being largely influenced dy the outdoor temparature.
6. The hours of labor are longer and the times for recesses and sleep are shorter in the farming than in the fishing villages, works assigned to women are manifold, both in rural and maritime districcts, the womenfolk being subject to labor hours as long as those of men. A high level of blood pressure, however, was noticed in primary school children below laboring age already, in the agricultural village surveyed.
7. Drinking water tended to acidity in Village A but to alkalinity in Village B.
8. The soli too tended to acidity in Village A and to alkalinity in Village B.
9. Among' the hypertensives who had been detected in 1954 in the two villages and thence were re-examined in the three following years, about half showed unchanged blood pressure level, but the frequency of aggravated hypertension was higher in Village B left without instructions against hypertension, while the frequency of alleviated hyper-tension was higher in Village A where anti-hypertension campaign was instituted.
10. Our efforts at early detection of hypertenison and patient administration by peri-odical mass-examination of residents in Village A and at instructing the general village population on improvement of their living conditions, especially, their dietary habits, were apparently rewarded by a confirmed lowering in the mortality for cerebral apoplexy and the frequency of hypertensive patients. This result seems to suggest that a similar beneficent result may be achieved by striving for improvement of living conditions and by suitable attention to hypertensive patients in the farming villages of Tohoku District, known for high frequency of hypertension, too.
