Dementia and frailty often accompany one another in older age, requiring complex care resources. Available projections provide little information on their joint impact future health-care need from different segments of society the associated costs. Using a newly developed microsimulation model, we forecast this situation Japan as its population ages decreases size.In modelling study, built model that simulates an individual's status transition across 11 chronic diseases (including diabetes,...
We examined associations between influenza vaccination rates and Medicaid reimbursement for vaccine administration among poor children who were eligible (<100% of the federal poverty level in all states).We analyzed 3 consecutive National Immunization Surveys (NISs) to assess nationally representative 6 23 months age during 2005-2006 (unweighted N = 12 885), 2006-2007 9238), 2007-2008 11 785) seasons (weighted 3.3-4.0 million per season). categorized into income levels (poor, near-poor, or...
Accurate future projections of population health are imperative to plan for the healthcare needs a rapidly aging population. Multistate-transition microsimulation models, such as U.S. Future Elderly Model, address this need but require high-quality panel data calibration. We develop an alternative method that relaxes requirement, using repeated cross-sectional representative surveys estimate multistate-transition contingency tables applied Japan's calculate birth cohort sex-specific...
We assessed short-term responsiveness of influenza vaccine demand to variation in timing and severity epidemics since 2000. tested the hypothesis that weekly epidemic activity is associated with annual daily receipt.We conducted cross-sectional survival analyses from 2000-2001 2004-2005 seasons among community-dwelling elderly using Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (unweighted n = 2280-2822 per season; weighted 7.7-9.7 million season). The outcome variable was receipt. Covariates included...
Persistent socioeconomic disparity in mortality is a widely observed phenomenon despite improvements the economic standard of living and prevailing universal healthcare coverage policy. In this study, we selected Japan as case which public has maintained horizontal equity access while demographic challenges have affected life chances vulnerable subpopulations over past decade. We assessed changing trends education-related decade across for different causes death, with goal generating social...
Background: Dementia and frailty often accompany one another in old age, requiring complex care resources. Currently available projections provide limited information on their joint impact future health spending. Using a newly developed microsimulation, we forecast this situation Japan, as the population ages shrinks.Methods: Our model simulates an individual’s status transition across 11 chronic diseases, depression, functional status, by sex, educational strata based national...
