Our examination was performed on 1, 541 men and 3, 803 women. Reviewed were blood pressure, obesity, anemia, fatty tissue (lipide), liver function, urine-suger and protein, urobilinogen, and their abnormalities.
(1) High blood pressure was found in 53.7 % of the men and 68.3 % of the women, with higher rates found in the middle to older age groups of both men and women.
(2) Obesity, by the Minowa method, was found to be over 20 %, with the higher rate being in women. The tendency to obesity in men was found to decrease with age. In females, abnormalities of blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, thickness of subcutaneous fatty tissue (of the upper arm and shoulder blade areas) were discovered to be greater in proportion to obesity.
(3) Abnormalities in GPT were seen as 15.3 % in men and 7.3 % in women. According to age group in men: Those in their 30's, 21 %, in the 40's, 27.2 %, 50's, 12.7%, 60's, 9.1 %.
A study on the effects of alcholic beverage consumption will be included in the 1983 survey.

Many patients with mental disorders visit emergency departments (EDs). However, the majority of these patients do not receive psychiatric assessment. In the present study, we investigated the detailed proportion of patients with mental disorders visiting an urban ED in the largest northern city in Japan. A retrospective chart review study was performed at a University Hospital from January 2012 to December 2015. The reasons for psychiatric consultations made by ED staff, and the primary psychiatric diagnoses were investigated. Among all living patients, 20% of them received consultations. The most common reason for consultation was suicide attempt followed by agitation or insomnia. Of all diagnoses, organic mental disorder was the most frequent and the mean age was significantly higher than the other diagnostic groups. Our study indicated that the frequency of psychiatric consultation was high. This indicates the high demand for mental health services at the ED. A thorough psychiatric assessment can provide adequate psychiatric services to acute patients; thereby possibly preventing suicide attempters from later actually dying by suicide.
