Data are represented as means ± SEM.
p1, before versus after in the Tsunami (−) group.
p2: before versus after in the Tsunami (+) group.
p3, Tsunami (−) group versus Tsunami (+) group before the earthquake.
p4, Tsunami (−) group versus Tsunami (+) group after the earthquake.
BMI, body mass index; BG, blood glucose concentration; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; F, female; HbA1c (JDS), glycosylated haemoglobin A1c; M, male; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
