Short term increase in low birth weight babies after Fukushima.
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.
