Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Japan, it has been reported to what extent known modifiable factors explain deaths from the major diseases cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes mellitus, but little is known about the contribution of family history to the major causes of death. In this study, population attributable fractions (PAF), morbidity, and mortality associated with family history for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population were estimated. Because family history of diseases is different by birth cohort, PAF, incidence, and deaths of all cancers and type 2 diabetes increased in the new birth cohort compared to the old birth cohort. On the other hand, the number of cardiovascular disease cases and deaths remained unchanged in recent years, indicating that there was no significant difference between the old and new birth cohort. Further accumulation of knowledge on family history is needed, as important data such as prevalence rates are insufficient.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
リスク要因の大きさを測定する指標として使用されている相対危険度だけでは実際に国民にどの程度のインパクトを与えているのか考察するには不十分である。そこで、本研究では保有率と相対危険を複合的に測定することができる人口寄与割合という手法を用いることで、家族歴という要因が罹患および死亡にどの程度影響を与えているのか絶対値を推計することが大きな強みである。
