Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Socioeconomic status affect people's various health conditions across the life course. The influences of socioeconomic status on people's health are known to be compositional and contextual effects. Using data from various epidemiological surveys, this study examined whether and how various socioeconomic status indicators and modifiable factors (e.g., exercise habits) associated with socioeconomic status affect pain and pain-related diseases. Our studies revealed that socioeconomic status, individual lifestyle habits and psychological factors that are significantly influenced by socioeconomic status are associated with various symptoms and syndromes. Policies to narrow disparities due to socioeconomic status will be required.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
日本では様々な健康指標で、都道府県や市町村間の地域格差が存在している。「健康寿命の延伸と健康格差の縮小」は、平成25年度からの「健康日本21(第二次)」の基本的方向の第1番目にて明言されており、重層的な対策を検討する必要がある。 本研究により、疼痛や疼痛と関連性のある疾患や疾病においても社会経済格差があること、おおくの環境的要因の影響を受ける可能性があることを示した。今後、社会経済状況による格差是正のための重層的な政策や支援がますます重要になることを示すことができた。
