Objective: Comprehensive investigations of correlations between subnational socioeconomic factors and trends in mortality and lifestyle are important for addressing public health problems.
Methods: Forty-seven prefectures in Japan were divided into quartiles based on the proportion of public assistance recipients (PPAR). Age-standardized mortality from all causes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke in each prefecture were averaged for these quartiles in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.
Article Synopsis
- * Data from various surveys over multiple years was analyzed, revealing that both mortality rates and lifestyle factors varied significantly between income quartiles, with lower income groups experiencing higher mortality.
- * Key findings showed that while overall mortality decreased, men in lower income quartiles had notably higher mortality rates from all causes, cancer, and stroke, and lifestyle issues like higher BMI and smoking rates were more prevalent in these lower quartiles.
Aims/introduction: To examine the association between diabetes and prediabetes at baseline, and disability, mortality over a 22-year period among middle-aged Japanese adults.
Materials And Methods: Participants consisted of 1,788 adults aged 45-64 years at baseline from the cohort study National Integrated Project for Prospective Observation of Non-communicable Disease and its Trends in the Aged 1990 (NIPPON DATA90). Disability, defined as having a decline in activities of daily living (ADL), was assessed by a modified Katz questionnaire at four time points.
