Abstract:
The future of Japanese agriculture depends a great deal on the young adult. In this study, preventive health strategies for young people living in a farming area are discussed. The following is a summary of the conclusions we have arrived at.
1. There is much to be desired in their eating habits. Hence, the necessity of drawing up adequate guidelines and educational programs.
2. Young men must be dissuaded from smoking cigarettes and drinking a lot.
3. There is too much stress in living and working environments.
4. Overworking must be avoided.
5. Individuals must realize the importance of protecting and promoting their own health.
