I want to prove living in nature, such as camping, is beneficial for our mental and physical health. !Research topics: ¡ÈLiving in nature and health¡É,¡ÈHunter-gatherer¡Çs livelihood and health¡É Focusing on the Baka, a Pygmy hunter-gatherer group in tropical forests in the East Region of Cameroon, I have been measuring their blood pressures and accelerations of the pulse waveform to monitor their blood circulation. In the past, I studied camp life and blood circulations of middle-aged and the elderly in countries such as Japan and the U.S. !Research history: In 1980, I started working at University of Yamanashi. In August-September 1994, I began research on Cameroon accompanying Dr. Hiroaki Sato (who then was working at Hamamatsu University School of Medicine). By 2010, I have conducted ten research projects on the Baka Pygmies.
