Panel Session

At the 56th Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health (APACPH) Conference, from Nov 4-7, 2025, in Chiang Rai, Thailand, a panel session titled “Prenatal Environmental Stressors in Shaping Offspring Health” was organized by Prof. Masahiro Umezaki and Assistant Prof. Kyi Mar Wai of the Department of Human Ecology, the University of Tokyo. This session brings together emerging evidence from birth cohort studies across Asia, specifically Thailand, Nepal, and Japan, to examine how prenatal exposures, including psychosocial stress and environmental toxicants such as heavy metals and chemicals, affect offspring health and development. Speakers discussed a wide range of research topics on how early-life stressors influence cellular regulation, immune and neurodevelopment, and long-term health trajectories.

ニューカレドニア・マレ島におけるフィールド調査について紹介しました.南太平洋の島嶼地域では,市場経済化に伴うライフスタイルの変化により,肥満や非感染性疾患が重大な社会問題となっています.フランス海外領土のニューカレドニアは市場経済に大きく取り込まれている一方,マレ島に居住するメラネシア系先住民カナックは,ヤムイモ栽培を主軸とした農業を今日でも主要な活動の一つとしています.観察によると,主要作物のヤムイモは主に儀礼で贈与するために栽培されており,実は日常の食生活は主に輸入食品で構成され,農作物はそれほど食べられていません.一方で,農業はほとんど機械化されていないため,農作業は身体活動量の維持につながっていると考えられます.以上より,マレ島における農業は,食生活の面からはあまり肥満や非感染性疾患予防には貢献しないものの,身体活動という面では貢献しているのではないかと考えています.マレ島における農業,食生活,身体活動量の関係を明らかにするため,データ収集をしている最中です.

Rural communities in northern Laos are undergoing market integration that aligns with subsistence and dietary transitions. Using food questionnaires and hs-CRP from dried blood spots, we assessed shifts in diet and chronic inflammation across villages with different levels of market integration. Higher hs-CRP concentrations were found in village residents with higher levels of market integration, and this shift may partly be driven by a dietary shift from a foraging-based diet—characterized by high intake of wild edible plants—to a more market-dependent one.
