The prevalence of circulatory and respiratory diseases is higher in older people, suggesting that they are more susceptible to indirect health effects due to the environmental changes related to evacuation. Malignant neoplasms accounted for the third and leading cause of death overall and for people in their 50s, respectively, implying the potential impact of evacuation on cancer diagnosis and treatment. Suicide is the leading cause of death among younger people and can occur even long after a disaster, which shows the psychological impact of environmental changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To prevent indirect disaster-related deaths in the future, it is important to consider appropriate intervention methods by age group and period since disaster occurrence.
