Educational inequalities in site-specific cancer mortality
Background Reports on socioeconomic inequalities in cancer mortality are limited in East Asia. We investigated educational inequalities in cancer mortality in Japan, serving as an advanced example of a nationwide census-based surveillance. Methods We developed a Japanese census-linked mortality dataset, using our unique linkage method. The dataset encompassed approximately 0.48 million cancer deaths linked to individual-level census data of 80 mi…
Occupational differences in Sars-CoV-2 infection
In Japan, medical and care workers had a higher prevalence of contracting COVID-19 compared to non-essential workers. However, this trend emerged during the peak of the COVID-19 spreading in the summer of 2022
Measurement of Intermediate Frequency Magnetic Fields Generated by Household Induction Cookers for Epidemiological Studies and Development of an Exposure Estimation Model
No differences were found in the validity of the four models. This could be due to the biased wattage of the validation population, and for versatility it would be preferable to use three variables (distance, wattage, and estimation using the diameter of the cookware) whenever possible. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic measurement of magnetic fields generated by more than 70 induction cookers in a real household environment. This st…
Social Capital and Self-Rated Health
Social capital is positively associated with self-rated health; however, this association among workers is still unclear. Thus, this study examined the relationship between social capital and self-rated health with special attention to the employment type. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 6160 workers aged 20-64 years from two towns in Mie Prefecture in January-March 2013. Social capital was assessed using five items in 4816 income-ear…
Trends and socioeconomic inequalities in self-rated health in Japan, 1986–2016
Japan has the unique feature that approximately 50% of the survey respondents rated their self-rated health as fair, but with important variations over time and between socioeconomic groups. In-depth studies of the role of socioeconomic conditions may shed light on the reasons for the high prevalence of poor self-rated health in Japan
Mortality inequalities by occupational class among men in Japan, South Korea and eight European countries
BACKGROUND: We compared mortality inequalities by occupational class in Japan and South Korea with those in European countries, in order to determine whether patterns are similar. METHODS: National register-based data from Japan, South Korea and eight European countries (Finland, Denmark, England/Wales, France, Switzerland, Italy (Turin), Estonia, Lithuania) covering the period between 1990 and 2015 were collected and harmonised. We calculated ag…
Informal caregiving and mortality-Who is protected and who is not? A prospective cohort study from Japan
Informal caregiving is linked to psychological stress. However, recent studies have suggested a protective association between informal caregiving and mortality among caregivers. We sought to test the association between caregiving and survival in the Komo-Ise study, a prospective cohort of community-dwelling residents aged 44-77 years living in two areas in Gunma prefecture, Japan. Caregiving status was assessed in 2000, and 8084 individuals wer…
Generalization in motor adaptation
Every day offers a series of new events that have never been encountered, and one must face those by utilizing or generalizing skills acquired through past experiences. This article surveys recent developments in computational studies of how a motor skill acquired in one context or workspace generalizes to that in another during and after motor adaptation. Experiments on motor adaptation have examined various aspects of human motor control, so co…
