| Research Abstract |
Background:
The medical service area (MSA) is established by Medical Service Law in Japan. Medical facilities are allocated by MSA, so that health measures can be completed within the unit of MSA. The aims of this study are to calculate the life expectancy (LE) by MSA and to observe the socio-economic factors influencing life expectancy by correlations analysis.
Methods:
LE of MSA (358) was calculated combining the LE by municipalities (1962). Statistical characteristics of LE and the correlation with population size and proportion of employees in the tertiary sector of industry (PTI) were observed.
Results:
LE showed a positive correlation between sexes. The population size and PTI showed the positive correlation in males and the negative correlation in females between LE and negative correlation between the sex differences.
Conclusions:
LE is useful health indices to evaluate the effectiveness of health measures in MSA.
