Association between the number of social roles and self-rated health: Mediation effect by ikigai and the size of close social networks
Background Health effects of multiple role occupancy and their mechanism are not fully addressed. We examined (1) the association between the number of social roles and self-rated health (SRH) and (2) the mediation effects of ikigai (the sense of life worth living) and the size of close social networks to the association. Methods We analysed the cross-sectional baseline questionnaire data of the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study …
Trends in health and health inequality during the Japanese economic stagnation: Implications for a healthy planet
Although this study was a case study of one country, Japan, and inference to other countries cannot be made with certainty, the findings provide evidence that low economic growth over two decades did not inevitably translate to unfavourable population health. Japanese health inequalities according to income were stable during the study period. Therefore, this study highlighted the possibility that for high-income countries, low economic growth ma…
Association between maternal employment status during pregnancy and risk of depressive symptomatology 1 month after childbirth: The Japan Environment and Children’s Study
BACKGROUND: Previous studies, which examined the association between employment status and postpartum depression, were limited by binary or ternary employment status measures (employed/unemployed or full-time/part-time/unemployed). This study examined the association between detailed employment status during pregnancy and risk of depressive symptomatology 1 month after childbirth, and the effect modification by one's perceived level of social sup…
Association between family members and risk of postpartum depression in Japan: Does "who they live with" matter? -The Japan environment and Children's study
Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-rated health, smoking, and physical activity of Japanese adults from 2000 to 2010
Health disparities in Japan are attracting increasing attention. Temporal trends in health disparities should be continuously monitored using multiple indices of socioeconomic status (SES) and health-related outcomes. We explored changes in socioeconomic differences in the health of Japanese adults during 2000–2010. The data was taken from the Japanese General Social Surveys, the cross-sectional surveys for nationally representative samples of Ja…
Perceived and Objective Measures of Neighborhood Walkability and Physical Activity among Adults in Japan: A Multilevel Analysis of a Nationally Representative Sample
Although associations between a person's neighborhood and their health have been studied internationally, most studies have been limited to a few cities or towns. Therefore, we used a nationally representative sample to explore whether perceived and objective neighborhood walkability was associated with the physical activity of residents. Data were analyzed from the Japanese General Social Surveys of 2010 (n = 2395; 1114 men and 1281 women). Perc…
Employment situation and risk of death among middle-aged Japanese women
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the health effects of employment situation among women, taking social and economic conditions into consideration. The objective of this research was to investigate the association of employment situation (full-time or part-time employee and self-employed) with mortality risk in women over a 20-year follow-up period. Additionally, we examined whether the association between employment situation and mortality i…
Neighborhood contextual factors for smoking among middle-aged Japanese: A multilevel analysis
A prospective cohort study of neighborhood stress and ischemic heart disease in Japan: A multilevel analysis using the Jacc study data
Area-level stress affects the likelihood of death due to ischemic heart disease of individuals in men. The present findings may suggest that stress should be considered not only within the individual but also within the neighborhood context
Education level and physical functional limitations among Japanese community residents-gender difference in prognosis from stroke
Low education level was associated with the higher prevalence of physical functional limitations for both genders. That association among persons with history of stroke was observed for men but not for women probably due to gender differences in stroke subtypes and social support
The effects of smoking and smoking cessation on mortality from cardiovascular disease among Japanese: Pooled analysis of three large-scale cohort studies in Japan
The present study confirmed the association between smoking and mortality from cardiovascular disease in both males and females. Smoking cessation is a crucial preventive measure against death from cardiovascular disease
What accounts for the relationship between social class and smoking cessation? Results of a path analysis
Perceived importance of being thin and smoking initiation among young girls
The level of perceived importance of being thin among young female adolescents predicts future smoking initiation. Smoking prevention programmes designed for female adolescents may therefore benefit from the inclusion of content related to importance of being thin
Effects of market liberalisation on smoking in Japan
Market liberalisation in Japan played a significant role in increasing smoking prevalence among young women and adolescents while helping to transform the issue of smoking in Japan from a matter of individual choice to a public health problem
What accounts for the relationship between social class and smoking cessation? Results of a path analysis
