Children from Fukushima are the most obese in Japan, due in part to fears among parents that allowing them to play outside will expose them to harmful levels of radiation, a survey has found.
Almost four years after the triple meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, concern is growing about the long-term health risks to inactive children from the prefecture.
According to Japanese media, an education ministry survey of schoolchildren aged five to 17 found that 15.07% of nine-year-olds in Fukushima prefecture were 20% heavier than the standard weight for their age – the level at which a child is considered clinically obese.
