Japan JP: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data was reported at 1.900 % in 2010. Japan JP: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data is updated yearly, averaging 1.900 % from Dec 2010 (Median) to 2010, with 1 observations. Japan JP: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children Under 5 data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Japan – Table JP.World Bank: Health Statistics. Prevalence of overweight, male, is the percentage of boys under age 5 whose weight for height is more than two standard deviations above the median for the international reference population of the corresponding age as established by the WHO's new child growth standards released in 2006.; ; World Health Organization, Global Database on Child Growth and Malnutrition. Country-level data are unadjusted data from national surveys, and thus may not be comparable across countries.; Linear mixed-effect model estimates; Estimates of overweight children are also from national survey data. Once considered only a high-income economy problem, overweight children have become a growing concern in developing countries. Research shows an association between childhood obesity and a high prevalence of diabetes, respiratory disease, high blood pressure, and psychosocial and orthopedic disorders (de Onis and Blössner 2003). Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of obesity, premature death, and disability in adulthood. In addition to increased future risks, obese children experience breathing difficulties and increased risk of fractures, hypertension, early markers of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and psychological effects. Children in low- and middle-income countries are more vulnerable to inadequate nutrition before birth and in infancy and early childhood. Many of these children are exposed to high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, calorie-dense, micronutrient-poor foods, which tend be lower in cost than more nutritious foods. These dietary patterns, in conjunction with low levels of physical activity, result in sharp increases in childhood obesity, while under-nutrition continues

JP: Prevalence of Severe Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children under 5 data was reported at 0.300 % in 2010. JP: Prevalence of Severe Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children under 5 data is updated yearly, averaging 0.300 % from Dec 2010 (Median) to 2010, with 1 observations. JP: Prevalence of Severe Wasting: Weight for Height: Male: % of Children under 5 data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Japan – Table JP.World Bank: Health Statistics. Prevalence of severe wasting, male, is the proportion of boys under age 5 whose weight for height is more than three standard deviations below the median for the international reference population ages 0-59.; ; World Health Organization, Global Database on Child Growth and Malnutrition. Country-level data are unadjusted data from national surveys, and thus may not be comparable across countries.; Linear mixed-effect model estimates; Undernourished children have lower resistance to infection and are more likely to die from common childhood ailments such as diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections. Frequent illness saps the nutritional status of those who survive, locking them into a vicious cycle of recurring sickness and faltering growth (UNICEF, www.childinfo.org). Estimates of child malnutrition, based on prevalence of underweight and stunting, are from national survey data. The proportion of underweight children is the most common malnutrition indicator. Being even mildly underweight increases the risk of death and inhibits cognitive development in children. And it perpetuates the problem across generations, as malnourished women are more likely to have low-birth-weight babies. Stunting, or being below median height for age, is often used as a proxy for multifaceted deprivation and as an indicator of long-term changes in malnutrition.

In 2023, the average size per dwelling in Japan was 90.86 square meters. When broken down by prefecture, Toyama stood out as the prefecture with the largest average floor area per housing unit, while Tokyo had the smallest average floor area in the same year. Real estate in Japan The real estate industry is an important pillar of the Japanese economy and ranked as the third-largest industry in Japan in terms of value added in 2022. Despite this, the number of unoccupied dwellings in Japan has been steadily increasing for over thirty years. Many unoccupied homes are empty and abandoned. This trend can be attributed to two primary factors: the aging of the population and the challenges faced by empty house owners in managing and utilizing properties, as most of these homes are either managed by older individuals or family inheritance. Housing in Tokyo The monthly residential property price index in Tokyo Prefecture has experienced a significant upward trend in the past years. Tokyo holds the largest population in Japan, with approximately 14 million inhabitants, making it the world’s largest urban agglomeration. The city’s appeal lies in its many renowned universities and corporate headquarters, which draws migrants from other prefectures, particularly young individuals. However, Japan is currently experiencing an investment boom in real estate, fueled by overseas investment. This has resulted in central Tokyo apartments becoming less affordable for many people.

Japan JP: Prevalence of Stunting: Height for Age: Female: % of Children Under 5 data was reported at 6.500 % in 2010. Japan JP: Prevalence of Stunting: Height for Age: Female: % of Children Under 5 data is updated yearly, averaging 6.500 % from Dec 2010 (Median) to 2010, with 1 observations. Japan JP: Prevalence of Stunting: Height for Age: Female: % of Children Under 5 data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Japan – Table JP.World Bank.WDI: Health Statistics. Prevalence of stunting, female, is the percentage of girls under age 5 whose height for age is more than two standard deviations below the median for the international reference population ages 0-59 months. For children up to two years old height is measured by recumbent length. For older children height is measured by stature while standing.
