Description

  The present health examination for five-year-old infants was implemented for the first time in 2006 at the public health center in Namegata-shi, Ibaraki prefecture. The purpose of this health project is to build up the network of a supporting system for children and their parents living in Namegata-shi by connecting guardians of children with medical facilities and the municipal administration. Moreover, it is important to control the living environment by regulating the circadian rhythm of daily activities and bodily processes, and by lessening hours watching TV. The health project included a physical examination, medical examination by interview, eye test, consultation of nutrition and oral care, music care, psychological consultation and neurological examination. Controversial children were recommended to make use of the public child guidance classroom. The examination was held ten times in 2006, and 12 times in 2007. The overall rate of attendance at the public health center for health checkups was 90% in 2006 and 88% in 2007. The attendance rate was 8.8% and 5.6% for those children with poor eysight; 5.6% and 9.7% for those with a hyperactivity tendency; 4% and 2.8% for those with obesity; 2.4% and 4.2% for those with verbal problem; and 2% and 3.5% for those with nocturnal enuresis, respectively.
