    In the present study, the microvascular cast specimens (MVCS) of the circumvallate papillae (CvP) and foliate papillae (FoP) of the zinc-deficient (Zn-deft) rats were compared with those of a control group in order to observe and assess the effects on the microvasclar morphological changes of CvP and FoP in the Zn-deft group using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The main clear changes in the mild and serious case of CvP and FoP relating to the taste sense in the Zn-deft group were misshape, deformation and disturbed MVCS of the papillae body (PB) and the moat-like structure (MO) of CvP, and disturbed distribution of the trench-like structure (TR) and hole-like structure (HO) of FoP. In both CvP and FoP, the damage figures in the serious case were more remarkable than those in the mild case. The results suggest that the Zn-deft condition interferes with the microvascular circulation to CvP and FoP and their taste cells.

    An examination on dental erosion has been carried out for workers in a chemical factory in Osaka Prefecture twice a year on 1982 to 1991. While the proportion of workers with dental erosion to all the subjects examined was found to be 30.2% on 1982 to 1983, the proportion was lowered to 2.5% on 1990 to 1991. No erosion tooth was observed among workers who had been employed in the factory on and after October in 1975. An novel occurrence or a development of the erosion teeth has been observed rarely throughout the periodical examination for 10 years. Erosion teeth occurring on and before 1970s would contribute to the high proportion of workers with dental erosion on 1982 to 1983; the erosion occurred rarely on and after 1980s. Among 71 workers with dental erosion on 1982 to 1983, thirty-six workers were examined on their erosion status on 1990 to 1991 by the periodical dental examination and 25 workers were examined by an additional dental examination or a questionnaire on erosion status in July on 1991. Among the 36 workers taking the periodical examination on 1990 to 1991, thirty workers were made completely care of their erosion teeth. However, only 9 workers were made care among the 25 workers not taking the periodical dental examination; workers having taken no care of the erosion teeth were observed at a high rate among workers not continuously taking the periodical examination.

    We made a survey of smokers, postsmokers and nonsmokers to elucidate the correlation between depression state and smoking behavior of smokers. Survey items were Zung's SDS (Self-rated Depression Scale) and smoking behavior (the number of smoking cigarette per day, way of smoking, period of smoking, the number of trying to stop smoking, the number of doing so until stopping smoking). In analysis we made a comparison with the strength of the correlation between smoking behavior and the incidence of depression state of smokers and postsmokers by the standard of nonsmokers. The results were as follows. 1. Smokers In males smokers who are smoking more than 40 cigarettes per day have odds ratio significantly more than 1 by comparison with nonsmokers. And those who have tried to stop smoking more than three times have odds ratio significantly more than 1 by comparison with nonsmokers. But the correlations between way of smoking, period of smoking and depression state are not recognized. In females smokers who are smoking for more than 11 years have odds ratio significantly more than 1 by comparison with nonsmokers. The other correlations between depression state and smoking behavior are not recognized. 2. Postsmokers In males postsmokers who were smoking from 20 to 39 cigarettes per day before stopping smoking had odds ratio significantly more than 1 by comparison with nonsmokers, But in both males and females the other correlations between smoking behavior and depression state were not recognized.

    We made a follow-up study for one year to elucidate what kind of lifestyle changes to prevent obesity and lifestyle-related disease in a city, Yamagata. The results were as follows. 1. The facts that changes in both stress level and sleeping hours were correlated with variation in weight and BMI (body mass index) showed that stress management and relaxation training were necessasry to health guidance for preventing obesity and lifestyle-related disease. 2. According to changes in fish/meat intake or frequencies for a week, systolic pressure changed and reduced. 3. The fact that as changes in food intake or eating between meals changes weight of BMI showed the possibillity that restriction on both food intake and eating between meals were effective to reduction on one's weight or prevention of hyperlipemia. 4. By taking vitamin drugs TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and AI changed. And changes in fruit intake produced alteration of TG. 5. Prohibition of smoking status produce the reduction of TC and TG. 6. Changes in frequencies of drinking resulted in alteration of HbAlc. The restriction on excessive drinking attributed it to prevent the abnormality of glucose tolerance. 7. Weight, BMI and body fat % had a significantly positive correlation with TC, TG and blood pressure. The reduction of one's weight was effective to prevent both hyperlipemia and hypertension. Changes in body fat % had a higher correlation with TG and TC than BMI or weight.

    The purpose of this study was to evaluate community-based health education programs by examining health-related behavior and health-related behavioral traits using the Health Locus of Control (HLC) scale. To clarify the factors related to health-related behavior and health-related behavioral traits, a questionnaire survey was carried out on community residents undergoing the general health examinations in K City, Chiba Prefecture. It was found that, HLC internals had a more active effect upon health-related behavior than did HLC externals. But neither HLC internals nor externals were related to change in the community residents life style after undergoing the general health examinations.

    This study was undertaken to collect information on the HIV/AIDS risk behaviours of Japanese students. Using an original survey design with a structured questionnaire, we collected self-reported sexual behavior data related to HIV risk from more than 2,500 students per year at the university health center during 1993-1999. We examined levels of sexual experience, age at first intercourse, current sexual activity and condom use and tried to assess trends in HIV risk behaviors among the students. In the survey, more than one fifth of males and more than one third of females reported having steady partners. Overall, 20% of the first-year students and 60% of the fourth-year students in this survey were already sexually experienced. And both males and females had had their first intercourse at a younger age year by year, which leads to more life time partners. Approximately 50% of the students used condoms consistently. About 14% of males and 16% of females reported having had sex with a casual partner despite having had a steady partner. Our findings confirm and add to a evidence of risk behavior increase among Japanese youth. Effective educational programs are needed to reduce STD/HIV risk and improve the sexual health of students engaging in risky sexual behavior.

    The aim of the present study was to investigate serum total cholesterol levels that was influenced by lifestyle of junior high school student. The subjects were 223 first grade students (114 males and 109 females) of junior high school who underwent a preventive medical screening for lifestyle related diseases and who were responding to a self-completed questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of physical activity and dietary habits, and predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors (PRECEDE-PROCEED model by Green et al). The results were as follows: less physical activity correlated with, the higher serum total cholesterol levels; higher frequency of eating eggs and processed meat correlated with higher serum total cholesterol levels; stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that serum total cholesterol levels statistically increased with egg intake but decreased with vegetable intake, amount of participation in activities at school, and amount of club activity; and stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that the amount of club activity was statistically associated with enabling and reinforcing factors, and egg and vegetable intakes were statistically associated with predisposing factors.

    Questionnaire survey on health consciousness and eating habits was conducted to about 20-year-old female college students enrolled at universities located in the Metropolitan and Kansai areas. As a result, 88% and more of the students feel they are healthy both in the Metropolitan and Kansai areas. Much more students in the Metropolitan area responded that they are confident of their physical strength. The students in the Kansai area have much longer hours of sleep. 90% and more of the students in both the areas have some feelings of stress. The majority of the students in the Metropolitan area get rid of stress by playing sports while the majority of the students in the Kansai area get rid of it by singing with Karaoke accompaniment. The staple food for breakfast is rice in the Metropolitan area and bread in the Kansai area, which is a significant difference. The purpose of taking health supplementary food is to supplement nutrition in both areas. Many students in the Kansai areas take health supplementary food to stay in shape. The results show that young people are influenced differently according to living environment and culture.
