Prevalence of diabetes mellitus and dialysis risk based on annual health checkup frequency among National Health Insurance citizens in Japan
Citizens who skipped health checkups for 3 consecutive years or longer had a higher risk of T2DM, highlighting the need for targeted public interventions to prevent DM in this population
Lifestyle Pathways Affecting Children’s Mental Health in Japan during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The recent prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the daily lives of preschoolers and elementary school children worldwide. Although these changes may have affected their mental health, the full picture still remains unknown. Since March 2020, Japan has intermittently experienced several COVID-19 waves. This survey was conducted between February and March 2022. In this study, we investigated the pathways by which specific lifestyle factors (suc…
Factors associated with the occurrence of injuries requiring hospital transfer among older and working-age pedestrians in Kurume, Japan
To reduce severe pedestrian injuries among older people, improvement of road infrastructure in areas with wider roads, higher socioeconomic status and higher aging rates is required
Analysis of Japanese Articles about Suicides Involving Charcoal Burning or Hydrogen Sulfide Gas
It is well known that certain types of media reports about suicide can result in imitative suicides. In the last two decades, Japan has experienced two suicide epidemics and the subsequent excessive media coverage of these events. However, the quality of the media suicide reports has yet to be evaluated in terms of the guidelines for media suicide coverage. Thus, the present study analyzed Japanese newspaper articles ( n = 4007) on suicides by ch…
The health impact of remarriage behavior on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
This study investigates the impact of remarriage on health outcome based on a large-scale population survey and indicates that remarriage significantly correlates with reduced risk of COPD incidence, even after adjusting smoking habit
Patient and Physician Perceptions of the Physician's Explanation and Patient Responses to Physicians
Although theories on meta-cognition and self-monitoring imply the importance of meta-cognition in patient—physician interactions, there is no evidence to support this hypothesis. Thus, we evaluated patient and physician perceptions of the level of a physician's explanation and explored the possible influence of patient meta-cognition on patient responses to physicians. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 579 internist—patient pairs in Japan. T…
Coping strategies, care manager support and mental health outcome among Japanese family caregivers
Coping and social support are regarded as major modifiers of the caregiving stress and negative mental health effects experienced by caregivers. Under Japan's Long-term Care Insurance (LTCI) system, care managers have played a major role in providing psychosocial support for family caregivers while coordinating formal and informal care resources for elderly people. However, since the launch of the LTCI system in 2000, no evaluation has examined t…
Media suicide-reports, Internet use and the occurrence of suicides between 1987 and 2005 in Japan
Because this is the first, preliminary study examining the association between Internet use and suicide, further research is required to verify the present findings
Physician and Patient Perceptions of the Physician Explanations in Medical Encounters
Although, in actual practice, physicians have to subjectively judge the level of the explanation that they provide, little is known about this judgment. Therefore, making use of 630 physician-patient pairs in Japan, we investigated the association between patient and physician evaluations of physician explanations of medical test results and diagnoses. We found that the physician's judgment does not always agree with that of the patient, with reg…
