Abstract

An analysis of low birth weight (LBW) births in ten contaminated prefectures of Japan, 1995–2018, finds a statistically significant increase in the LBW proportion in 2012–2013, but no increase after 2013. In the rest of Japan (37 prefectures), no increase in LBW births was found after the Fukushima accident.
