Exploring factors associated with inflammation in stressed workers
Our findings suggest that the feeling of fatigue may reflect chronic stress-induced systemic low-grade inflammation in the body, highlighting the importance of self-monitoring fatigue for early intervention. Inflammation-based stress management holds promise in preventing both mental and physical illnesses in stressed office workers
Factors associated with the risk perception of Covid-19 infection and severe illness
Understanding COVID-19 risk perception may help inform public health messaging aimed at encouraging preventive measures and improving countermeasures against the pandemic. We conducted an online survey of 29,708 Japanese adults in February 2021 and estimated the associations between COVID-19 risk perception and a broad array of individual factors. Two logistic regressions were constructed to estimate factors associated with the risk perception of…
Health Effects of the Asthma Care Program under the Universal Coverage Scheme in Children and Young Adults in Thailand
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the asthma care program available under the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) in Thailand on hospital admissions per 100,000 population, its regional and seasonal variation, readmission within 28 days, and the asthma-specific fatality rate of patients aged 0-29 years in 2009-2016 compared with those in 2007-2008. A retrospective study was conducted using data sources from the UCS register and in-patient da…
Preventive Behaviors and Information Sources during Covid-19 Pandemic
encouraging access to multiple information sources, utilizing communication channels, and modifying messaging according to target groups are essential to promote COVID-19 preventive measures
Analysis of the relationship between the HbA1c screening results and the development and worsening of diabetes among adults aged over 40 years
Our study suggests that although HbA1c levels measured during health check-ups were correlated with the risk of diabetes development and worsening, HbA1c levels in a single year may not necessarily provide sufficient information to consider these future risks
Japan’s development cooperation for health in Vietnam
Background Japan strives to strengthen its development cooperation by mobilizing various resources to assist partner countries advance on Universal Health Coverage by 2030. However, the involvement and roles of various actors for health are not clear. This study is the first to map Japan’s publicly funded projects by both Official Development Assistance (ODA) and other non-ODA public funds, and to describe the intervention areas. Further, the pol…
Mobility Patterns in Different Age Groups in Japan during the Covid-19 Pandemic
In the COVID-19 era, movement restrictions are crucial to slow virus transmission and have been implemented in most parts of the world, including Japan. To find new insights on human mobility and movement restrictions encouraged (but not forced) by the emergency declaration in Japan, we analyzed mobility data at 35 major stations and downtown areas in Japan-each defined as an area overlaid by several 125-meter grids-from September 1, 2019 to Marc…
Ongoing debate on data governance principles for achieving Universal Health Coverage
The Group of 20 Summit (G20) in Osaka, which Japan chaired for the first time in June 2019 has created a tailwind for achieving universal health coverage (UHC) globally. In response to the rapid digitalization, the G20 leaders commenced negotiations for the Osaka Track framework to formulate international rules on data flow across borders and systematize the concept of 'Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT).' The strategic harnessing of the power of d…
Time to Reconsider Diverse Ways of Working in Japan to Promote Social Distancing Measures against the Covid-19
Reconsidering Evaluation Criteria for Scientific Adequacy in Health Care Research
It is important to reconsider evaluation criteria regarding scientific adequacy in health care research. In this article the authors review the four pairs of quantitative/qualitative paradigms. They discuss the use of evaluation criteria based on a pragmatic perspective after examining the epistemological issues behind the criteria. Validity/credibility is concerned with research framework, whereas reliability/dependability refers to the range of…
