“…However, not having adequate and appropriate food supply and/or insulin after the disaster may have affected glycemic control negatively. Recent published studies have also reported that inappropriate food intake is associated with high HbA 1c levels after the earthquake [5,25]. In this study, according to the results of the self-administered questionnaire, 59.1% of the people reported that they could not find adequate and appropriate food to comply with nutrition therapy.…”

“…Inui et al [24] showed that the HbA 1c levels peaked 3 to 4 months after the Kobe earthquake and returned to prequake levels 5-6 months later. Also Kirizuka et al [25] reported that HbA 1c levels increased after the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and declined gradually to the pre-earthquake levels one year later. We found no significant correlation between the change of insulin requirements and BMI, HbA 1c levels, and total QOL scores.…”

“…The results of the studies showed that not only does diabetes control become worse after earthquake [5,24,25], but also an increase in the number of newly diagnosed patients occurs following the earthquake [3,6]. Stress negatively affects either people with diabetes [24,29,35,36] or without [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…Diabetes mellitus is affected negatively after a lengthy duration in an unfavorable environment [5]. Glycemic control of people with diabetes becomes worse [5,[24][25][26]. Such worsened glycemic control results simply from inadequate food intake [5,25].…”

“…Glycemic control of people with diabetes becomes worse [5,[24][25][26]. Such worsened glycemic control results simply from inadequate food intake [5,25]. Supplies of insulin and other drugs for people with diabetes run out, and there is rapidly increased anxiety among diabetics [1,24].…”

Abstract. To examine the short-and long-term influences of the Marmara earthquake, which occurred on August 17, 1999 in Turkey, on glycemic control and quality of life (QOL), HbA 1c, insulin requirement and QOL of 88 people with type 1 diabetes living in the quake zone were evaluated one year before (PreE), 3 months after (PostE) and one year after (FE) the earthquake. HbA 1c levels and daily insulin requirements increased significantly at PostE (HbA 1c from 7.4 ± 1.3% to 8.5 ± 1.8%, p<0.05; insulin from 0.58 ± 0.2 IU/kg/day to 0.77 ± 0.2 IU/kg/day, p<0.05). Mean total QOL scores at PostE were significantly lower than the scores obtained at PreE (62.7 ± 17.3 vs 74.2 ± 13.4, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between HbA 1c levels and total QOL scores at PreE and FE. People with type 1 diabetes living in the same house after the earthquake and not having enough food supply were reported to have lower QOL than people moving to another house and having enough food supply after the earthquake (p = 0.014, p<0.0001, respectively). The Marmara Earthquake had a negative impact on the glycemic control and QOL of the subjects with type 1 diabetes for the short term but prequake scores might be achieved after a long period.

Complex emergencies (CEs) can occur anywhere and are defined as crisis situations that greatly elevate the risk to nutrition and overall health (morbidity and mortality) of older individuals in the affected area.In urban areas with high population densities and heavy reliance on power-driven devices for day-to-day survival, CEs can precipitate a rapid deterioration of basic services that threatens nutritionally and medically vulnerable older adults.The major underlying threats to nutritional status for older adults during CEs are food insecurity, inadequate social support, and lack of access to health services.The most effective strategy for coping with CEs is to have detailed, individualized pre-event preparations. When a CE occurs, the immediate relief efforts focus on establishing access to food, safe water, and essential medical services.
