In this study, we examined national trends in SHS exposure after the introduction of these municipal ordinances at the city lev…
Excess mortality during the Coronavirus disease pandemic in Korea
Despite Korea's successful quarantine policy response, the continued epidemic has led to an excess mortality. The estimated mortality exceeded the number of deaths from COVID-19 infection. Excess mortality should be monitored to estimate the overall impact of the pandemic on a nation

Declines in health service use during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could have important effects on population health. In this study, we used an interrupted time series design to assess the immediate effect of the pandemic on 31 health services in two low-income (Ethiopia and Haiti), six middle-income (Ghana, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mexico, Nepal, South Africa and Thailand) and high-income (Chile and South Korea) coun…
Association between community-level social trust and the risk of dementia: A retrospective cohort study in the Republic of Korea
Introduction: It is known that biological risk factors and lifestyle behaviors are important determinants of dementia. However, there has been yet to be sufficient evidence to prove that community-level social capital is one of the determinants of dementia. This retrospective cohort study is a large, long-term, population-based study that investigated the association between community-level social trust and the risk of dementia in the Republic of…

Community Determinants of Physical Growth and Cognitive Development among Indian Children in Early Childhood: A Multivariate Multilevel Analysis
Inadequate child physical growth and cognitive development share common individual-level risk factors. Less understood is how outcomes co-cluster at the community level and to what extent certain community-level characteristics influence the clustering. This study aims to quantify the extent to which child growth and development co-occur across communities, and to identify community-level characteristics associated with the clustering of the two …
Wealth gradient-based divergence in the prevalence of underweight among women by marital status in Quoc Oai district, Vietnam
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of underweight is high among women in Asian countries, despite nutritional changes in the region. Previous studies have demonstrated independent associations between female body weight, marital status and economic status. However, few studies have investigated possible interaction between marital and economic status in relation to Asian women's body weight. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to test associations between househ…
Trends of socioeconomic inequality in using maternal health care services in Lao People’s Democratic Republic from year 2000 to 2012
Efforts to increase maternal health service utilization in poor and minority ethnic groups should be emphasized to reduce social inequalities, thus encompassing multiple-sector interventions rather than focusing only on health sector related interventions
Values and happiness among Asian adolescents: A cross-national study
Despite policy efforts to increase adolescent happiness, their impact has been unsatisfactory. Their limited impact may be rooted from a discrepancy between values that adolescents pursued and those that the policies were based on. To provide policy implications, our study aims to identify prevailing values for South Korean, Japanese, and Chinese adolescents and to examine the relationship between the values and self-rated happiness (SRH). A cros…

Early sexual initiation and multiple sexual partners among Vietnamese women: Analysis from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Under current HIV transmission mechanisms operating in Vietnam, women are seen as victims of their male partners.

This study aims to explore association between early sexual initiation and the number of lifetime sexual partners in Vietnamese …
Suicide and karoshi (death from overwork) during the recent economic crises in Japan: The impacts, mechanisms and political responses: Figure 1
Although still controversial, it has been suggested that overall mortality in industrialised countries tends to rise during economic expansions and fall in recessions, attributed to the boost in traffic and industrial activity and environmental pollution during economic upturns.1 However, as Tapir Granados has demonstrated using Japanese mortality statistics, suicide increases during economic crises perhaps because suicide is usually a consequenc…

Short-term and long-term associations between household wealth and physical growth: A cross-comparative analysis of children from four low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Stunting, a form of anthropometric failure, disproportionately affects children in developing countries with a higher burden on children living in poverty. How early life deprivation affects physical growth over various life stages is less well-known. OBJECTIVE: We investigate the short- and long-run associations between household wealth in early life with physical growth in childhood in four low- and middle-income countries to unders…

OBJECTIVE: This paper explores and identifies socioeconomic factors that contribute to domestic violence-supportive attitudes among Viet…
Marital status, widowhood duration, gender and health outcomes: A cross-sectional study among older adults in India
Gender, the duration of widowhood, and type of outcome are each relevant pieces of information when assessing the potential for widowhood to negatively impact health. Future research should explore how the mechanisms linking widowhood to health vary over the course of widowhood. Incorporating information about marital relationships into the design of intervention programs may help better target potential beneficiaries among older adults in India

Effects of deregulation of the driving licence application process on road safety in Korea: An interrupted time-series analysis
BACKGROUND: Road traffic deaths (RTDs) remain the 9th most common cause of mortality in South Korea despite their decreasing trends in high-income countries. In 2010 and 2011, the Korean government deregulated the process for obtaining a driving licence, and there has been significant concern that such deregulation of the driving licence policy could reduce road safety.
