虽然有报告说灾后出现了抑郁等心理健康问题，但灾后积极的心理因素尚未得到研究。最近，积极影响对我们健康的重要性已经得到了认可。因此，我们对2011年东日本大地震后避难区居民的笑频率及其相关因素进行了调查。在2012年度日本福岛健康管理调查中，对52,320名20岁以上的参与者进行了横断面研究，研究了笑频率与灾后生活方式变化的关系，如工作情况的改变，家庭成员的数量，地址的变化，以及其他社会人口，心理和生活方式的因素进行了检查，使用逻辑回归分析。笑的频率是用一个单项问题来评估的：“你多久笑一次？“几乎每天都笑的人的比例为27.1%。调整社会人口，心理和生活方式因素的多变量模型表明，家庭成员数量的增加和地址的变化较少与高频率的笑声显着相关。心理健康、经常锻炼和参加娱乐活动也与高频率的笑声有关。灾难后生活方式因素的变化与疏散区的笑声频率有关。未来的纵向研究需要检查哪些因素可以增加笑的频率。
Although mental health problems such as depression after disasters have been reported, positive psychological factors after disasters have not been examined. Recently, the importance of positive affect to our health has been recognised. We therefore investigated the frequency of laughter and its related factors among residents of evacuation zones after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011.In a cross-sectional study on 52,320 participants aged 20 years and older who were included in the Fukushima Health Management Survey in Japan's fiscal year 2012, associations of the frequency of laughter with changes in lifestyle after the disaster, such as a changed work situation, the number of family members, and the number of address changes, and other sociodemographic, psychological, and lifestyle factors were examined using logistic regression analysis. The frequency of laughter was assessed using a single-item question: "How often do you laugh out loud?"The proportion of those who laugh almost every day was 27.1%. Multivariable models adjusted for sociodemographic, psychological, and lifestyle factors demonstrated that an increase in the number of family members and fewer changes of address were significantly associated with a high frequency of laughter. Mental health, regular exercise, and participation in recreational activities were also associated with a high frequency of laughter.Changes in lifestyle factors after the disaster were associated with the frequency of laughter in the evacuation zone. Future longitudinal studies are needed to examine what factors can increase the frequency of laughter.
