| Research Abstract |
Our prospective studies suggest socioeconomic status affect health outcomes in Japanese workers and psychosocial job characteristics play a role to some extent, mainly by modifying the associations. The pattern of social inequalities in health in Japan appeared differ across demographic characters, such as gender, age, and occupation, and somewhat different from Western countries. Further studies are necessary among diverse work sites and a wider range of occupations. Employing several-wave panel design would be fruitful because reciprocal causal relationships will be evaluated more precisely.
