Effect of Duration of Education on Sexual Activity and the Mediating Role of Illness in Later Life: A Natural Experiment in English Schooling Reform
Health-related quality of life in various health conditions: Two consecutive surveys of older Japanese adults
Examining the associations between oral health and social isolation: A cross-national comparative study between Japan and England
In Western countries, the most important part of the face in communication is the mouth, whereas it is the eyes in Asian countries; thus oral health could be more important in social interactions in Western countries. Our aim was to examine differences in the association between oral health status and social isolation among older people by comparing Japan and England. We used cross-sectional information obtained from adults aged 65+ in two ongoin…
Causal effect of deteriorating socioeconomic circumstances on new-onset arthritis and the moderating role of access to medical care: A natural experiment from the 2011 great east Japan earthquake and …
Socioeconomic disadvantage is a risk factor for arthritis, but its causal relationship remains unclear. This study examined the causal relationship between socioeconomic circumstances and new-onset arthritis by taking advantage of the "natural experiment" that resulted from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The baseline survey was conducted in August 2010, 7 months before the disaster. Self-reported questionnaires were mailed to all el…
Intensity of community-based programs by long-term care insurers and the likelihood of frailty: Multilevel analysis of older Japanese adults
The World Health Organization (WHO) argues that governments can postpone declining capacity of older adults by providing sufficient support. Yet, to our knowledge, no study has focused on the role of local governments for realizing healthy ageing. This study examined the association between the intensity of community-based programs for frailty postponement by long-term care insurers (as municipalities) and the likelihood of frailty. We analyzed r…
The Contextual Effect of Area-Level Unemployment Rate on Lower Back Pain: A Multilevel Analysis of Three Consecutive Surveys of 962,586 Workers in Japan
This study examined the associations between area-level unemployment rates and lower back pain using large-scale data provided by the Japanese working population. We analyzed data from a nationally representative, repeated, cross-sectional study across three waves from 2010, 2013, and 2016 in 47 Japanese subnational level areas. Workers aged 18-64 years ( n = 962,586) were eligible to participate in the study. A multilevel logistic model was used…
Change in Municipality-Level Health-Related Social Capital and Depressive Symptoms: Ecological and 5-Year Repeated Cross-Sectional Study from the Jages
Prevalence of depressive symptoms is lower in communities with greater social capital (SC). However, it is unclear whether a prevalence of depressive symptoms will decrease in communities where SC has increased. We investigated the relationship between the changes in municipality-level SC and depressive symptoms by using 5-year repeated cross-sectional data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. In 2010 and 2016, self-reported questionna…
Socioeconomic inequalities in low back pain among older people: The Jages cross-sectional study
Significant socioeconomic inequalities were observed in low back pain among older individuals in Japan. Policymakers and clinicians must understand the nature of these inequalities
Sex identification from the distal fibula
This study was designed to determine whether the fibula, which is one of the least studied long bones, can provide reliable information for sexing of human bones, provided that one condition is satisfied, namely, its distal end is available for measurement. The materials consisted of the dried fibulae of 71 Japanese males and 35 females whose names, ages and sex were known. The distal end of the fibula was measured with respect to five novel dime…
Pattern Recognition and Automatic Analysis on Moire Photographs of Human Bones
This paper describes a technique of computerized data analysis and processing of moiré photographs. The facilities of the processing system consisted of TV-camera, A/D converter, magnetic disks, central processing unit and display apparatuses.The analogue data on moiré photographs were picked up by TV-camera and were converted to digital information by A/D converter. The digitalized data with 1 to 255 grades were binarized by modified Laplacian m…
