A questionnaire survey was conducted of elementary school students (6-12 years of age) in Joetsu City for multiple chemical sensitivity-like symptoms (MCS-like symptoms) in July 2005. In July 2010 and July 2017, re-surveys of elementary and junior high school students (6-15 years of age) were conducted to assess any temporal changes. The number of valid responses was 10,348, 14,024, and 7,224 in the 2005, 2010, and 2017 surveys, respectively. The results showed that the number of students with MCS-like symptoms was 979 (9.5%), 1,734 (12.4%), and 874 (12.1%) in 2005, 2010, and 2017, respectively. The results showed that the proportion of elementary and junior high school students with MCS-like symptoms increased with age. In this paper, I describe in detail the content of the questionnaire, the number of students with MCS-like symptoms, and the prevalence rate of each symptom used to evaluate students with and without MCS-like symptoms.
