>TOKYO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - More than one in three Japanese suffer from
>chronic fatigue so severe that many are forced to skip work or school,
>the Health Ministry said at the weekend.
>
>A national survey of 3,015 people aged between 15 and 65, conducted by
>the Health Ministry, showed 36 percent of the respondents had suffered
>from fatigue for at least six months.
>
>The number of men and women experiencing fatigue for six months or longer
>was about equal, said the survey, issued by Kyodo news agency.
>
>Nearly half the 1,078 chronic sufferers, or 17 percent of the people
>surveyed, indicated that they had taken days off from work or school due
>to fatigue, it said.
>
>``I am surprised at the extremely large number of people complaining of
>fatigue,''  Kyodo quoted Teruo Kitani, head of the ministry's research
>team, as saying.
>
>``Japanese people apparently show high levels of fatigue compared with
>respondents in similar studies from abroad.''
>
>Some attributed their fatigue to overwork, although many said they could
>think of no reason for their exhaustion.
