We had surveyed school children living in two geographically remote areas with past and present histories of habitual motion sickness, which was reported in our precedingpaper. The present paper compares these results with those of a similar survey conducted 20 years ago (1961) by Hasegawa et al. and made an attempt to shed light on epidemiologic differences between the two surveys. The results are summarized as below. (1) The number of children surveyed who had history of motion sickness was 6, 875 in the 1980 survey and 872, 075 in the 1961 survey. (2) The peak age of the occurrence of motion sickness was 12 in the 1961 survey but 10 in the 1980 survey. (3) Asthma and tonsillitis, the chronic diseases harbored by children with habitual motion sickness, were fond to have increased in the intervening 20years. (4) The traffic vehicle that has caused the children to suffer from increased incidence of motion sickness most was automobiles. (5) The proportion of the children who complaind of nausea and/or vomiting in the 1980 survey was greater than in the 1961 survey. The proportion of the children complaining of fatigability while in cruising vehicles, as well as that of those who were frightened of automobiles, have also increased in the 20 years.
