Japan Survey Finds Drinkers Cut Down Before Health Checks, But Fail to Stick with Changes
A survey of drinkers in Japan found that many change their habits prior to a health check before falling back into old ways when it is over.
Shizen Shokken, a Japanese health food company, conducted a survey of 510 men and women aged from 20 to 69 who drink alcohol regularly to find out more about their health attitudes prior to medical checkups.
The survey found that 43% of the respondents were concerned about the condition of their liver, with 9.0% saying that they worry about it “often” and 34.0% “sometimes.”
The results also show that nearly the same percentage, at 43.9%, become aware of the need to rethink their drinking and lifestyle habits prior to a health checkup, with 11.2% becoming “very aware” and 32.7% “somewhat aware.”
