A Strategy for Further Wellness for All: A Population Approach to Prevent Cardiovascular Diseases in Japan

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A population approach may be effective in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the entire population. In Japan, the first public population approach is Health Japan 21 from 2000 to 2012. In 2013, it was revised as Health Japan 21 (the second term), which was promoting the health of all citizens until 2022. In the final assessment, although a significant decrease in age-adjusted CVD mortality was observed, it is unclear why these findings occurred. An assessment system for a population approach for CVD needs to be developed in Japan.
