Impact of the 2004 Tsunami on Self-Reported Physical Health in Thailand for the Subsequent 2 Years

"With the latest Short Form Health Survey, we assessed physical health. " With multivariate linear regression, we investigated the connection between tsunami exposure and physical fitness. Participants with personal injury or business loss of employment reported poorer physical fitness than those unaffected, according to women and older adults, who were exposed to greater health risks. Those who suffered from the tsunami event adversely affected physical appearance and mental stability, and the consequences can last for longer than a year, which is the normal time when most public and private relief services are withdrawing.
