| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
No significant employment-grade differences in health behaviours and obesity were observed in Japan and the differences did not widen longitudinally. In Britain and Finland, clear employment-grade differences in health behaviours and obesity were observed, and the differences became wide over time. There were employment-grade differences in psychosocial stress and physical and mental functioning in Britain, Finland and Japan, and the magnitude and patterns of the difference differ across countries. In addition, while the differences in Britain and Finland became wide over time, the difference did not hardly change in Japan. This study showed that socioeconomic differences in health and the underlying mechanisms may differ across countries, which suggests that country specific public health policies are needed to reduce health inequalities.
