Summary

Introduction

Following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, many residents, in particular those of the coastal region, lived in shelters for the first few months after the earthquake [1]. Standards of living were marked by a deterioration in the quantity and quality of food intake [1]. Three and a half years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, with the life of residents recovering to close to pre-earthquake conditions. Studies investigating the experience of residents have found the nutritional status of residents to be low post-disaster. The purpose of this study was to investigate women’s nutritional status in the coastal region of the disaster area, three years after the Great East Japan Earthquake
