The lab explores the causes of health disparities in the structures of society and applies the findings to community development.

The Social Preventive Medicine Lab studies how the structures of society, such as income and community ties, affect people's health. The lab investigates the social determinants of health and health disparities using large-scale data, including the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES), in which municipalities across Japan participate. The lab also works on social implementation, applying the evidence from its research to municipal policy and corporate health programs. The lab holds lab research meetings and graduate lab seminars on a regular basis, and people visiting the lab can attend if they sign up in advance.
