Social determinants of health related to multimorbidity utilizing big data: Network analysis and GIS
Description: We aimed to examine the prevalence of multimorbidity with special reference to non-communicable diseases (e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia). We analyzed Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions in Japan as a self-reported survey. We also analyzed National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan (NDB) (for insured people) and Fact-finding Survey on Medical Assistance (for public assistance recipients) as claims data. The highest prevalence of comorbidities was hypertension-dyslipidemia (5%), followed by hypertension-eye diseases (4%) and hypertension-diabetes (4%). The prevalence of non-communicable diseases with public assistance recipients was higher than one with insured people. Low socioeconomic status and multimorbidity were associated with cancer screening delivery.
