AboutAbout the lab
Looking at children's growth and health from a societal perspective.
The Kachi Lab studies children's health and welfare using the methods of public health and social epidemiology.

Its work centers on analyzing large datasets, such as municipal surveys on living conditions and government statistics, with statistical methods.
The findings are also delivered to national and local governments to inform policies on children.
