Project Details

Abstract

International comparative studies on socioeconomic inequalities in health and health risk factors suggested that socioeonomic inequalities in psychosocial factors and work-life balance were more important than health risk behaviours(cigarette smoking, undesireble eating habits, and physical inactivity) and obesity in the development of socioeconomic inequalities in health among Japanese employees. Research on the similarities and differences in the magnitude and patterns of socioeonomic inequalities in health and health risk factors among countries may contribute to specific and effective health policies for social determinants of health.
