Research theme and outline

Approaches for the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the promotion of elderly care, which are common issues in Asia

Findings and experiences obtained in Japanese public health activities are very useful to improve the level of the prevention programs for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and aged-care, which have been common challenges for Asian countries. We have conducted the cross-national studies regarding the control of NCDs. Furthermore, we have investigated the influence of eating function for overall health among the elderly individuals using interdisciplinary approaches, including oral health and elderly health.
