We report medical technologist training in a principal school and the situation for graduate school master's courses. The course of study includes physics, chemistry, biology and statistics with a compulsory subject by basic seminar that is an introduction subject, a basic education subject, serving as a supplementary lesson and considering the professional training to be connected. We mainly receive practical training by attending the university hospital clinical central laboratory, pathology, and blood transfusion area for three years and can continue for one year to carry out graduation study. As for the course situation, a person of entrance into a school of higher grade to a graduate school compared 11 students out of 41, company relation 4 with the school of allied medical sciences other than finding employment in a hospital and clinical laboratory and became various. 19 students out of 30 are members of society, and we consider this, and the new student situation to Hirosaki University graduate school master's course does a class on after half past 5 and Saturday.

Perception of self-physique and eating behavior of high school students in Japan.

The authors investigated the condition of self-physique perception and eating behavior, and the relationship between self-physique perception and eating behavior of high school students in Japan. Regarding self-physique perception, subjects were shown six pictures of physiques and asked to choose one physique each for their actual physique and their ideal physique. With respect to eating behavior, the Japanese version of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT)-26 was used. Groups of underweight girls, normal girls, and normal boys tended to regard their actual physiques as rather broad, demonstrating that many girls are excessively preoccupied with thinness. The rate of eating problems was 11.2% for the girls and 2.4% for the boys. For both boys and girls, those who idealized the thinner physique scored higher in terms of the EAT score and factor I score. Education regarding body perception and diet must be undertaken as soon as possible in Japan.

[Well-being and depression in residents of a provincial city 65 years old or older].

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between feeling of well-being and clinical depression for a large number of residents in a provincial city in northern Tohoku. The research sought to clarify whether one's lifestyle might play a role in whether one suffered a state of clinical depression. METHODS: The study used survey methods to question every resident 65 years old or older living in the provincial city. The questionnaire was of self-registering type and was sent out from October to December, 1998. The content of the survey followed the determination of independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), feeling of well-being, the Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and similar items. RESULTS: The results of the study indicated that the morale score (Feeling of well-being) for men was significantly higher at all ages when compared to scores for women, while the Zung index for men tended to be lower than that for women. Although the Zung index tended to rise with age in both sexes, only in women did the morale score tend to decine with increasing age. Comparing men with women in terms of the partial correlation coefficient between the morale score and Zung index, that for men was -0.5856 (P < 0.001) and for women was -0.6363 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: It is apparent that a state of depression is not normally suffered if an individual has a feeling of well-being. Moreover, important factors recognized for healthy aging include the general health status, activity level, and the economic situation. Various measures that must be taken to that end, involve fashIoning a way of life for senior citizens so that they form healthy habits, participate in social activities, and take part in sports.
