Questionnaire surveyA questionnaire survey was carried out from February through June in 2002. For the survey, we selected four of six municipalities in the Kuji District, and three of seven municipalities in the Miyako District, which is located south of the Kuji District. Among the seven municipalities selected for the study, three (two in Kuji and one in Miyako) are in coastal areas and four (two in Kuji and two in Miyako) are located inland. A total of 7,136 people, aged 20 to 79 years, were randomly selected from the Basic Resident Register of each of the seven municipalities. Random sampling was done by city workers of the municipalities with the aid of our research members, and in one of the municipalities subjects were randomly selected from those aged 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 69, 74 and 79 years.
