The longitudinal study on the social determinants of health of older adults in Japan
Description: We created 3-wave panel data using the survey data taken in 2010, 2013, and 2016 based on the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. The study followed up more than 100 thousand older adults in Japan every three year. We merged the panel data with national death registry and municipal data of public long-term care insurance payment and certification. With this data we could evaluated the trajectories in functional capacity and long-term care service utilization. Using these data we conducted various empirical analyses on the social determinants of health of Japanese older adults and published over 100 original articles. For example, the health effects of community social capital varied across individual socioeconomic statuses and the onset of natural disasters.
