Background: In Japan, the sales of energy drinks (ED) are growing rapidly. This has led to concerns that consumption of ED could have a negative health impact for individuals, including children.Objective: The purpose of this study was to confirm the intake of ED, the characteristics of consumers' physical symptoms/behaviors, and the perception of ED based on the results of a questionnaire survey for school children.Methods: The subjects were 5,984 children from 5th grade of elementary schools to 3rd grade of high school in 16 schools (5 elementary schools, 6 junior high schools, 5 high schools) at 6 rural and metropolitan Japanese prefectures. All investigations were conducted from May 2018 to March 2019. The questionnaire used in this study gathered information regarding ED intake, physical symptoms/behaviors, and the perception of ED.Results: The main results in this study were as follows. 1) Older students were more consume ED than younger students, and boys were more than girls to consume ED (elementary school: 45.5% boys, 27.9% girls, junior high school: 58.0% boys, 32.8% girls, and high school: 67.6% boys, 45.4% girls). 2) The analysis of the relationship between the ED intake frequency and physical symptoms indicated that the complaints of physical symptoms such as ‘headache (OR=1.573, 95% CI=1.281-1.931),' ‘stomachache (OR=1.545, 95% CI=1.224-1.949),' ‘appetite loss (OR=1.629, 95% CI=1.293-2.053),' ‘nausea (OR=1.667, 95% CI=1.251-2.222),' ‘tiredness (OR=1.285, 95% CI=1.023-1.614),' ‘lethargy (OR=1.382, 95% CI=1.120-1.706),' ‘dizziness (OR=1.369, 95% CI=1.108-1.692),' ‘fogginess (OR=1.621, 95% CI=1.231-2.134),' ‘cardiac pain (OR=1.537, 95% CI=1.168-2.021)' and ‘malaise (OR=1.557, 95% CI=1.267-1.915)' were higher in the group who consumed ED habitually (more than once a week). Similarly, in the analysis of the relation between the ED intake frequency and behaviors, ‘late bedtime (OR=1.338, 95% CI=1.092-1.640),' ‘bad sleep onset (OR=1.649, 95% CI=1.311-2.074),' ‘wake after sleep onset (OR=2.056, 95% CI=1.528-2.766)' and ‘lack of breakfast (OR=3.453, 95% CI=2.546-4.684)' were also higher in the habitual ED intake group. 3) The four factors, ‘vitality', ‘vogue,' ‘ineptness' and ‘distrust' were extracted regarding students' perception of ED held by children. Additionally, it was confirmed that the habitual ED intake group had higher factor scores of ‘vitality' and ‘vogue,' while their factor scores of ‘ineptness' and ‘distrust' were also significantly lower.Conclusion: In this study, we were able to show the real state of ED intake, the characteristics of consumers' physical symptoms/behaviors, and the perception of ED. Therefore, social countermeasures were considered necessary.

Background: Emphasis on importance of evidence-based educational practices has been recently increasing. The US government, for example, has announced that they would not financially support new educational practices which are not evidence-based. Most of schools, however, may not acknowledge its importance and only few evidence-based practices have been developed or conducted in schools.Objective: To examine reasons why the evidence-based practices have not been prevailing in schoolsMethods: We reviewed studies addressing how often teachers participate in educational research and employ evidence from educational research in their practices. Studies about impressions and thoughts which teachers have on the research were also reviewed.Results: Only few teachers have engaged in educational research, and evidence from the research is rarely utilized in educational programs and practices. Teachers tend to think that research is not helpful or useful in practical situations. They also seem to have an impression that research is conducted without considering real-world situations of school settings. An intervention study has, however, observed that improving teachers’ access to educational research might help teachers to consider educational research helpful in schools. Researchers should respect practical situations in schools when they conduct educational research. Careful explanations of the results of research including feed-backs to teachers may be important to increase teachers’attention on, and practical use of evidence from, research in schools. In addition, pre-service teachers should be taught methodology of research and how to employ evidence from educational research.Conclusion: School teachers in general may not have positive impressions on, or use evidence from, educational research, which could be improved by researchers’attention and careful respects to schools and teachers. Curriculum for teacher education may also need to be improved.

【Objective】 Ibaraki prefecture had activated School Absenteeism Surveillance System for all public schools in 2009, and all nursery schools participated it since 2011. The staff of nursery schools and teachers of kindergartens, elementary, junior high, and high schools, have been recording symptom or diagnosis of the absence preschoolers or students at this system. Such information has been shared by board of education, school doctors, the public health center, and local government officers simultaneously as well as other nursery schools or schools in the prefecture. This system helps them to monitor the situation of infectious diseases, early detection, and timely correspondence, and it will be useful to avoid large-scale outbreaks.【Method】 At first we conducted a survey for all school nurses in the prefecture in cooperation with the educational boards in 2011. Then we classified the utilization levels of the system into three grades based on their answers.【Result】 We collected answers from school nurses belonging to approximately 88% of all schools. The levels of utilization are high for 2% followed by medium for 29% and basic for 69% of all schools, respectively.【Discussion】 We conclude that the regular training courses for school nurses were quite useful and important for the proper recording and skill up for utilization of the information collected from School Absenteeism Surveillance System. We also recognize that the cooporation among parents, communities, schools, nursery schools, education board, the public health center, and local government office was necessary to protect children health.

The purpose of this research was to obtain basic information for use in teaching the correct usage of analgesics for menstrual pain to junior and senior high school students. In June, 2008 I administered a self-report questionnaire to 222 first-year female university students regarding the usage of analgesic for menstrual pain. The responses from144 students aged 18 or 19 years, whose age at menarche was 15 years or younger, and who had suffered menstrual pain during the past year were analyzed. According to the survey results, more than 50% of the students had used an analgesic. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that the severity of menstrual pain was the most relevant factor in the usage of analgesic. Of the analgesic users, 65% held a negative view of analgesic usage and 55% worried about the dependence, tolerance or side-effects of usage. While 75% of the users knew that analgesics might cause side-effects, they knew less about the exact symptoms of the side-effects. It was inferred that few students read the explanatory leaflet supplied with the analgesic. From the survey results, it was clear that we needed to provide an effective awareness lesson to make sure that students acquired appropriate knowledge about usage of analgesic. Only half of the users had taken analgesic at the recommended time, namely, before the onset of severe pain, and 40% of the users had not experienced satisfactory pain relief. So it also suggested that students should be encouraged to consult a pharmacist or a doctor regarding appropriate treatment for menstrual pain.

Background: Female students with mild intellectual disability at special-needs high school and part-time high school are vulnerable to sex crimes. Nevertheless, their situation is not clarified well. How their teachers are involved in their problems remains unknown.Objective: This study was designed to use a teacher's narrative viewpoint to elucidate the state of high-risk sexual behavior of female students with mild intellectual disability at special-needs high school and part-time high schools and to explore how teachers should care for and support such students.Methods: Relevant data were obtained from a group interview and individual interviews of seven special-needs high school teachers and two part-time high school teachers. The interviewees responded to the following inquiries: “What are recognizable high-risk sexual behaviors of female students with mild intellectual disability?” “What are the backgrounds of female students' sexually high-risk behaviors?” and “How do teachers care for and support female students?” The responses were categorized.Results: High-risk sexual behaviors of female students with mild intellectual disability were categorized from a teacher's narrative viewpoint into three categories: “money-related dating and labor and sex industry,” “improper sexual activity,” and “dangerous sexual behavior.” Several factors were related to female students and their background. The personal characteristics were of two categories: “intellectual delay” and “low self-esteem.” Their background comprised two categories: “complex home environment” and “impact of the information society.” A teacher's care and support of female students included the following: “individual and polite education,” “sex education according to the current situation,” “education for independence,” and “cooperation.” When providing support to female students, the troubles which teachers often experienced were the following: “difficulty of sex education,” “necessity of support and guidance after graduation,” and “difficulty of surrounding social systems.”Conclusion: These results are expected to help prevent and support problem behaviors, giving advice from a professional viewpoint.

【Objectives】 This study was corducted to reveal the reality of eating disorders in high school students in Aichi Prefecture through epidemiological survey and questionnaire survey on efforts of yogo-teachers.【Methods】 We sent a questionnaire for Yogo-teachers to the school principal and yogo-teachers in all full-time public and private schools, including girls’ schools, boys’ schools and coeducational schools, in Aichi and requested to fill the questionnaires containing items on the background of each school, the numbers of students and patients with eating disorders in each grade as of January 2013, the number of medical institution consultations, death cases, as well as questions requiring written answers related to measures for prevention and early detection of eating disorders and problems regarding eating disorders.【Results】 Responses were obtained from 109 of 162 public high schools, 37 of 57 private high schools. The valid response rate was 66.7%. The total number of girls in the first, second and third grades in public/private high schools was 14,851/6,280, 14,058/5,931 and 14,049/5,681, respectively. The prevalence rate of suspected anorexia nervosa cases in the first, second and third grades was 118,155 and 101 per 100,000 girl students, respectively. The prevalence rate of anorexia nervosa of high school girls in public high schools was significantly high as compared with private high schools. When the prevalence rate was compared among three high school groups classified based on the entrance exam difficulty, the prevalence rate of eating disorders in high group is significantly more, but low group has become significantly less result. In addition, the prevalence rate of eating disorders including suspected cases in high school in Nagoya city was higher than outside of city area.【Conclusion】 In the epidemiological survey for high school girl students in Aichi Prefecture, we found that the frequency of anorexia nervosa patients among high school students was 101-155 per 100,000. The survey results on correspondence by yogo-teachers renewed our awareness of importance of measures against eating disorders in school health care.

Background: Adolescent sex education is important from the viewpoint of health education. In addition, the sexual behavior of children is diverse, and various forms of sex education exist.Objective: The objective of this study was to shed light on the meaning of the inner world of third-year junior high school students who attend sex education classes.Methods: The sample comprised five third-year junior high school students who attended classes in the author’s sex education program. The data were derived from semi-structured interviews and were analyzed with reference to Giorgi’s phenomenological methodology.Results: The following four points became clinically evident through our sex education program. First, the students became aware that they stand on the threshold connecting their own past events with their futures. Second, the students associated photographs of childbirth with their personal concerns. Third, the students re-evaluated their knowledge of sex and sexual experiences. Fourth, the students discussed their concerns about whether they would contract sexually transmitted infections (STI) ; however, they thought they would be the exception to the rule.Conclusion: The students associated their learnings from our sex education program with their past events and present concerns in chronological order. Through the process of integrating new knowledge based on our sex education program, the students were aware of the relationship between the content of our program and their personal lives. Our sex education classes provide the students with self-affirmation and prepare them for their future. However, our program did not have an effect on guarding against STI. Further studies should be pursued to plan sex education programs that promote safe sexual behaviors.

There are many students and pupils who bring dinking water, such as water and tea which are bottled in their own water bottle at home, to the school. Since its hygiene was concerned, our last research was carried on the situation of the bacterial contaminations of those bottled waters. Then it has been found that there were serious bacterial contamination situations of those bottled water, which had made us continue the research to get more certain findings. The results of this continuous research could make it more certain that the high level of the bacterial contamination in those bottled waters does exist. To compare to the drinking water quality standards of the water supply, more than 90% of those bottled waters were found to be incongruent, besides the contamination with Escherichia coli. The levels of the bacterial contamination found were higher in the raining season than the fall. In this research, to investigate the cause of the bacterial contamination, some of the dinking water before bottled were collected separately to sterilized containers at the same time they were poured into the water bottle at home. As a result, the levels of the bacterial contamination of the bottled water were higher than the water which were collected separately, and it was suggested that the bacterial contamination was likely be generated by putting in the water bottle.

【Objectives】Most Japanese and Korean young women desire to be slender. They start to dislike their body type during adolescence and begin to desire a slender body type similar to that of a professional fashion model. The aim of this study was to clarify similarities and differences between Japanese and Korean female university students in relation to height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and ideal BMI (IBMI), and age at menarche.【Methods】A questionnaire survey was conducted on 909 female university students (Japanese:448, Korean:461). The questionnaires were composed of the following items: age in years; height (H); weight (W); ideal weight (IW); and age at menarche (AM). BMI and IBMI were also calculated. The t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to compare means between Japanese and Korean students.【Results】Results of the t-test showed significant differences between Japanese and Korean female university students in H, W, IW, BMI and IBMI. However, results of ANCOVA using AM as a covariable revealed differences only in W, IW and BMI. In formulas based on ANCOVA, IW was associated with BMI among Japanese students; however, the weak association was found among Korean students. Among both Japanese and Korean students, earlier AM was associated with higher W and BMI. No relationship was found between IBMI and AM among Korean students; however, relationships between earlier AM and higher IBMI and between later AM and lower IBMI were found among Japanese students.【Conclusion】Although Korean female students had lower BMI than Japanese students, Koreans had higher height and weight than Japanese. Furthermore, although BMI among both Japanese and Korean students were within a normal range, a desire for slenderness was still apparent, particularly among Koreans. The later AM was relating to low BMI in both countries. The desire for slenderness seen among younger generations will lead to delays in sexual maturity. Therefore, the importance of proper body image among females must be recognized from young age.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between extracurricular activities, habitual exercise and academic achievement in junior high school students.Methods: The subjects were 627 junior high school students (330 boys and 297 girls). The subjects were divided according to their extracurricular activities such as sports and cultural clubs, or no activity. The number of hours per week the student exercises was surveyed by questionnaire. For academic achievement, the cumulative records from five subjects (Japanese, social studies, mathematics, science, English) and four subjects (music, art, physical education, and technical courses or home economics) were used. The academic achievement in each subject was rated on a 5-point scale.Results: Among the boys, the students involved in sports clubs had higher academic achievement compared to students who were not involved in any extracurricular activities (for the five subjects: sports clubs 16.9±4.4, no activity 14.1±4.5, p<0.05). Among the girls, students involved in both sports and cultural clubs had higher academic achievement compared to the students who were not involved in extracurricular activities (for the five subjects: sports clubs 18.0±4.1, cultural clubs 19.0±3.9, no association 16.3±4.4, p<0.05). With age as the controlled variable, positive correlation was shown between time spent playing sports and academic achievement in the five subjects (boys: r=0.182p<0.001, girls: r=0.125p<0.05).Conclusions: It was suggested that the academic achievement of male and female students involved in sports clubs was higher than that of students who were not involved in any activity, and there was a positive correlation between habitual exercise and academic achievement.

To clarify the relationship between the dozing off during school lessons and life-style habits, this study was conducted by giving a questionnaire to 258 students at Kyoto University of Education. Students who dozed habitually more than twice a week during the lessons accounted for 86.4%. A significant relationship was found between sleeping habits and dozing off. The frequency of dozing was high in students with short sleeping time, and students with late bedtimes. In other life-style habits, students who do not chew their food well and students with little sunlight exposure in the morning dozed the most often.
