About

This article describes the impact of the 2011 tsunami in Japan, focusing on mortality rates by sex, age group, and region. Rates varied by age and region, but this study could not address the reasons for the observed mortality patterns and regional differences. To improve preparedness policies, future research should investigate the reasons for regional differences.
