Outline of Research at the Start

It is now well known that infection with COVID-19 has long-term impact on health, and that it may increase death and illness from a wide range of causes. This project will use data from the Ministry of Health and the Japan Statistics Bureau to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population health in Japan. It will use sophisticated intervention analysis techniques developed by the principal investigator for assessing the impact of sudden events on population health, to comprehensively assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of the Japanese people.
