| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I aimed to establish the methods for analysis and global assessment of health inequalities. I elucidated the nature of confounding bias that should be considered when assessing health inequalities, showing a typology of four notions of confounding. In addition, I provided a new organizational schema for errors that occur when assessing health inequalities. Furthermore, by focusing on social determinants of health (e.g., social capital) and their related environmental factors (e.g., desert dust), I revealed key features of health inequalities in Japan and examined the context of growing inequalities.
