  • Paleosols Distributed in Marine Terraces in the Goshogawara Area, Aomori Prefecture, Northeast Japan
    HCG23-P03 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2020 Paleosols distributed in marine terraces in the Goshogawara area, Aomori Prefecture, Northeast Japan *Aya Omata1, Kohki Yoshida2 1. Division of Science and Technology, Graduate School of Shinshu University, 2. Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Shinshu University The paleosol suggests the climatic conditions in the past because major soil groups are formed and affected by the normal soil forming action of climate. Already, Matsui and Kato (1962) reported the existence of red paleosols distributed in the wide area in Japanese Islands, from Kyushu to the northern end of Honshu, and discussed its implications. In particular, the existence of red paleosol in the Tsugaru Peninsula, located at the northern end of Honshu island, is important in discussing the spread of past warm climatic conditions during the last interglacial period. At the foot of the Tsugaru Mountains, marine terraces formed during the last interglacial period widely developed (Azuma, 1995). In this study, we examined paleosol layers intercalated in the terrace located from Iizume, Goshogawara-city, to Nakasato, Nakadomari-machi, Aomori Prefecture. In the field, the soil color was described using the Munsell soil color chart, and sedimentary facies was described for reconstruction of sedimentary environments. As a result, the sedimentary environments in the study area was divided into channel, river floodplain, and lake facies. It is conceivable that the lake facies was formed as a part of the river sedimentary facies since the lake facies is located at the top of the floodplain facies and the bottom of the river channel facies. In this study area, 7.5YR brown soil layer have the majority, and only 5YR red soil layer was found at one site.

  • A Longitudinal Analysis on the Prevalence of Overweight and Underweight Students in Aomori Prefecture in Relation to Gender, Birth Year and District
    Original Article A Longitudinal Analysis on the Prevalence of Overweight and Underweight Students in Aomori Prefecture in Relation to Gender, Birth Year and District Takako Kumagai*, Ryoko Tanikawa** and Masashi Yamada** *Aomori University of Health and Welfare, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition 58-1 Mase, Hamadate, Aomori-shi, Aomori 030-8505 Japan [email protected] **Aomori University of Health and Welfare, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing [Received December 7, 2018 ; Accepted July 14, 2019] Background: It has been reported that there is a pattern of onset of overweight and underweight in children and students. The prevalence of overweight children and students in Aomori Prefecture is higher than the national average for all grades, but a large-scale longitudinal analysis of overweight and underweight among children and students has not been conducted. Therefore, it has not been clarified whether there is a particular pattern in the onset of overweight or underweight. Thus, in Aomori Prefecture, large-scale longitudinal analysis on overweight and underweight of children and students is required. As the harmful effects of childhood obesity have become widely known and enlightenment activities have been carried out, overweight prevalence of children and students has been decreasing in recent years. Further reduction of overweight and underweight prevalence requires a high-risk approach, for which longitudinal data on overweight and underweight transitions is strongly required. Objective: We aim to clarify whether there is a particular pattern in the prevalence of overweight and underweight children and students in Aomori Prefecture. Methods: We constructed a pseudo-cohort using data from the Aomori Prefecture children and Student’s Health and Physical Fitness Survey Report from fiscal year (FY) 2007 to FY2018 (full survey) and the Annual Report of School Health Statistics Researches by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (sample survey).
