Among them, 798 individuals consented to participate in urine testing and were sent a self-collection kit. The estimated 24-hour salt intake (g/day) and estimated 24-hour potassium intake (mg/day) were calculated using Tanaka's formula, and the urinary Na/K ratio (mmol/mmol) was also determined. A total of 667 participants provided valid urine data at both baseline and 10 years later (mean age at baseline: 54.8±13.4 years; women: 59.1%). Participants were classified into four groups according to sex and age at baseline: men aged <60 years, men aged ≥60 years, women aged <60 years, and women aged ≥60 years. Regions were categorized into seven areas in Japan. Comparisons between baseline and 10 years later were performed using paired t-tests.Results Differences in the estimated 24-hour salt intake were not statistically significant for all groups. The estimated 24-hour potassium intake was higher 10 years later in men aged ≥60 years and in women; men aged <60 years showed a trend toward higher values. The urinary Na/K ratio was significantly lower 10 years later in men aged ≥60 years (baseline: 4.14±2.57, 10 years later: 3.38±2.10, P = 0.002), women aged <60 years (baseline: 4.05±2.23, 10 years later: 3.44±1.91, P<0.001), and women aged ≥60 years (baseline: 3.76±1.79, 10 years later: 3.03±1.78, P<0.001). Further, the urinary Na/K ratio was significantly lower in the Tohoku, Kanto, and Kinki regions.Conclusion Findings of the current study revealed that the estimated 24-hour potassium intake was significantly higher and urinary Na/K ratios were significantly lower 10 years after initial samples were taken at baseline, particularly in women and men aged ≥60 years, as well as in specific regions. These findings suggest the need to strengthen the measures for specific target groups and regions.</p>","PeriodicalId":72032,"journal":{"name":"[Nihon koshu eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145304838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objective was to obtain transferable lessons that could inform the education of public health professionals in Japan.Methods The Committee on Public Health Nursing organized an online lecture cosponsored by the Internationalization Promotion Committee and the Japan Academy of Public Health Nursing. The lecture, titled \"Supporting the development of the public health nursing workforce in the UK: the example of health visiting,\" was given in June 2024 by Dr. Karen Whittaker, Senior Education and Workforce Lead at the Institute of Health Visiting (iHV). It was available live and on-demand for one month. Members of each committee were present on the day of the lecture to deepen their understanding through dialogue.Results The lecturer introduced the position of public health in the UK, the challenge of health inequalities, and an overview of the relevant service systems. Specific attention was given to the Universal Healthy Child Program for England, public health nursing with a focus on health visiting, and iHV activities. The Q&A session expanded the discussion to cover topics such as service design, workforce education on diversity to address health inequalities, and multi-disciplinary team working. It also explored the potential career pathways for health visitors and requirements for education, which now include a post-graduate Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (SCPHN) - Health Visiting qualification. Additionally, the importance of professional proficiency and continuing professional development (CPD) was emphasized, as these are required to renew registration every three years with the independent regulator, the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The role and purpose of iHV in supporting health visitors and the issues addressed by iHV were also covered. Including both live and on-demand participation, the session received a total of 636 views.Conclusion The UK approach to health inequalities is based on proportionate universalism. In the UK, a multi-ethnic country, education on ethnic diversity is provided to personnel involved in public health, which is helpful when considering education in Japan. In the UK, basic education and CPD based on uniform standards for SCPHN are systematically provided and are considered necessary to support quality assurance as a profession. Since basic education and CPD for public health nurses are not standardized in Japan, there is a need to systematically provide education based on common standards.</p>","PeriodicalId":72032,"journal":{"name":"[Nihon koshu eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145304767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the 2009 Cabinet Office survey on child-rearing costs, which was conducted online, a few comprehensive assessments of the total cost of raising children in Japanese households have been subsequently conducted. This study aimed to estimate both annual and cumulative child-rearing costs from birth to age 18, categorizing expenses by preschool, elementary school, junior high school, and high school years, and examine changes in expenditure since 2009.Methods A web-based survey on child-rearing expenses was conducted in November 2024, targeting mothers with children aged 0-18 years, who had their first child in Japan. Child-rearing costs were assessed across 13 expenditure categories, ensuring comparability with the Cabinet Office survey. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of annual costs were calculated for each category across schooling years, excluding extreme values exceeding three SDs. The total annual cost was derived by summing categorized expenditures. The results were compared with those of the 2009 Cabinet Office survey to evaluate cost trends over time.Results In total, 6408 responses were collected, including 4166 valid responses. The total estimated expenditure for raising a child from birth through the third year of high school was approximately JPY 25,701,956. When excluding savings and insurance, the cost was approximately JPY 21,727,154. Annual child-rearing expenses tended to increase with the age of the child, with a pronounced increase observed in educational costs during the transitions to junior high and high schools. The cumulative cost from birth through the third year of junior high school was JPY 18,995,250 in the 2009 survey and JPY 19,530,626 in the present study.Conclusion This study revealed that households with lower incomes tend to allocate a higher proportion of their income to living expenses and that the financial burden on these households is particularly high during the high school years and during transitions to new educational stages, such as entry into junior high or high schools. Developing economic support programs for households raising children should be guided by data, including the expenditure patterns identified in this study.</p>","PeriodicalId":72032,"journal":{"name":"[Nihon koshu eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145304831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A prior study has revealed that 50% of surveyed females reported a lack of understanding of menstrual health issues in their workplace. To date, only a few studies have evaluated menstrual health knowledge among male workers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge of menstrual health issues among male workers and their basic attributes (age, job position, and marital status), as well as implications for occupational health practice.Methods A self-administered, anonymous survey was conducted between August 7 and August 28, 2023 among male workers in two manufacturing establishments in Fukushima Prefecture. The survey included demographic questions and assessed knowledge of menstruation-related topics, such as the presence of health issues before and during menstruation, menstrual abnormalities, and social trends. Participants were requested to select, \"know\" or \"don't know\", for each item. Participant demographics and knowledge of menstruation were evaluated using descriptive statistics, and the associations between knowledge of menstruation and basic attributes were analyzed using chi-square tests and residual analysis.Results Of the 311 distributed questionnaires, 190 were returned (response rate: 61.1%), and 165 were included in the analysis. More than 70% of the respondents were familiar with health issues appearing before and during menstruation, and menstrual abnormalities, including \"becoming angry\", \"heavy bleeding\", and \"amenorrhea\". However, only 20% of the respondents were aware of menstrual health issues such as \"itching\", \"sweating\", and \"hot flashes\". Approximately 70% of the respondents did not identify \"prolonged menorrhea\" as a menstrual abnormality, and 90% were unaware of social trends related to menstruation. Age of the respondents was associated with the presence or absence of knowledge of menstrual health issues. Teen-aged respondents were aware of \"increased appetite\", and respondents in their 20s identified \"breast tenderness\", \"sleepiness\", and \"increased appetite\". Respondents in their 50s were less aware of menstrual health issues such as \"sleepiness\" or \"increased appetite\", and those in their 60s were not aware of \"breast tenderness\" or \"increased appetite\". Additionally, managers demonstrated knowledge about \"becoming angry\", \"heavy bleeding\", \"lower abdominal pain\", \"difficulty concentrating\", and \"sweating\". A significant association was observed only between knowledge of \"hot flashes\" and marital status.Conclusions Most respondents were aware of the common health issues associated with menstruation.

Retirement, social inclusion (SI), and building connections with community-dwelling individuals are important for preventing social isolation. Particularly in the case of older adults, it is important to clarify their subjective connections with community-dwelling individuals to build connections with them. The aim of this study was to clarify older adults' perceptions of community-based connectedness and related factors.Methods The participants, 800 men and women in their 70s and 80s living in urban areas, were surveyed in February 2024 using a self-administered, anonymous postal questionnaire. The survey items included attributes, perceptions of community-based connectedness, social networks (SN), SI, and community relationships. Multiple regression analysis using the forced entry method was conducted, with perceptions of community-based connectedness with people as the dependent variable; SN, SI, and community relationships as independent variables; and attributes as covariates.Results We collected 338 questionnaires and 316 valid responses (valid response rate: 39.5%). The participants' mean age was 79.0 ± 5.4 years, and 172 (54.4%) were men. The mean score for perceptions of community-based connectedness with people was 83.4 ± 17.6, with minimum and maximum scores of 36 and 131, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that SN (standardized partial regression coefficient (β) = 0.124, P = 0.012) and SI \"connectedness\" (β = 0.132, P = 0.023), SI \"participation\" (β = 0.100, P = 0.047), and community relationships (β = 0.469, P < 0.001) were significantly asso-ciated with perceptions of community-based connectedness with people.Conclusion The subjective connectedness of older adults was related to the objective connectedness of SN and SI in terms of \"connectedness\" and \"participation.\" The results suggested that the perception of the community as a whole as connected is related to older adults' perceptions of community-based connectedness with people.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between hygiene control and the detection of Legionella, as well as the problems associated with the use of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a pre-test to obtain information that will be useful for monitoring bathtubs in public bathhouses and accommodations.Methods From fiscal years 2017 to 2024, monitoring was conducted in bathtubs in public bathhouses and accommodations in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. Interviews and simple water quality tests were conducted. Legionella testing was conducted when ATP exceeded 80 relative light Unit (RLU), Legionella testing was conducted. Tested bathtubs were analyzed to assess the relationship between Legionella detection and six hygiene control indicators as well as ATP levels.Results Legionella was detected in 29 of the 94 bathtubs analyzed. Regarding the concentration of free residual chlorine at the time of water sampling and the cleaning and disinfection of the hair catcher, there was a 20.7%-23.2% difference in compliance between Legionella-detected and non-detected bathtubs. When the concentration of free residual chlorine at the time of water sampling and cleaning, and disinfection of the hair catcher did not meet the standards, the detection rate was the highest at 85.7% (6/7). The detection rate in circulating bathtubs that used tap water was 85.7% (6/7). However, in circulating bathtubs that used groundwater, the detection rate was only 25.0% (19/76). In contrast, in the non-circulating bathtubs that used groundwater, the detection rate was 36.4% (4/11).Conclusion It is difficult to prevent Legionella multiplication only by controlling the concentration of free residual chlorine. If the hair catcher is cleaned and disinfected less than once a week, the risk of Legionella growth may increase. Immediate improvement is required if the concentration of free residual chlorine and cleaning and disinfection of the hair catcher do not meet these standards.

This increase corresponds with the increase in the number of migrant workers in Japan, which has more than doubled over the past 10 years, from approximately 720,000 in 2013 to a record high of over two million in 2023. There were 5,672 work-related deaths and injuries in 2023. To prevent occupational injuries, it is necessary to strengthen countermeasures, by considering the specific risks present in each industry. In this study, we conducted a scoping review to identify problems associated with occupational injuries for various industry types and examined preventive measures.Methods The review targeted literature published from 1990 up to October 2023. Academic databases (CiNii Research, Ichushi Web, and PubMed) were searched, along with \"Kakehashi\" published by the Japan International Trainee & Skilled Worker Cooperation Organization (JITCO) and the official websites of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and JITCO. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts and selected documents that mentioned occupational injuries among migrant workers. Subsequently, they independently reviewed the full text (or the abstract, if the full text was unavailable) to determine eligibility. The studies were categorized as case reports (based on a single-case analysis) or survey reports (based on multiple-case analyses).
