The effect of habitual physical activity for an occupation on health in teachers of health and physical education in Japan

为了解高中体育教师与普通高中教师健康状况的差异，我们进行了三项调查：1.问卷调查了日本所有高中体育教师的死亡年龄和死亡原因；2.调查了冈山县体育教师的体重；3.测量了29名高中教师的热量摄入和消耗情况。结果表明：1.高中体育教师死于心脑血管疾病的年龄在45-49岁之间，死亡年龄在55-59岁之间。在热量摄入和消耗方面，体育教师与其他教师相比没有显著差异。这些调查表明，在教师40岁之前平衡热量摄入和消耗的重要性。我们建议所有教师在他们40多岁时开始出现问题之前，都要注意自己的体重和饮食。

To show the difference between the health conditions of health and physical education (H&PE) teachers and other teachers in high school.we conducted three surveys :1.A questionnaire covered the age at and cause of teachers' deaths in all high schools in Japan.2.A questionnaire covered the body weight of H&PE teachers in Okayama prefecture.3.A measurement of caloric intake and expenditure in 29 high school teachers.The findings as follows :1.In H&PE teachers deaths from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were observed during 45-49 and 55-59 years of age, respectively.2.There are many H&PE teachers who gain weight after reaching the age of 40.3.As for caloric intake and expenditure, there was no significant difference between H&PE and other teachers.These surveys show the importance of balancing caloric intake and expenditure before teachers reach the age of 40. We recommend that all teachers pay attention to their body weight and diet before problems can start once they reach their 40s.
