“…Nevertheless, some conflicting findings have also been reported among older population. For example, Shiba, Hikichi, Aida, Kondo, and Kawachi (2019) used a longitudinal natural experiment data from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, reporting that older survivors (65 years or older) who experienced housing damage showed a 4.36-mmHg decrease in DBP after 2.5 years (95% CI = −8.67, −0.06), but no significant change in SBP, compared with those with no housing damage. Similarly, Ebner, Ohsawa, Igari, Harada, and Koizumi (2016) found that among those evacuated after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster (mean age = 68.3 years as of 2013), there was a decrease of both SBP and DBP after 2 years, compared to that obtained before the disaster, in spite of the increase in other chronic conditions (e.g., metabolic syndrome, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, and chronic kidney disease).…”
