Oral Health Assessment by Lay Personnel for Older Adults
Published on: February 2, 2020
Abstract:
The age structure of Japan and the well-being of the aged as compared to that of children are discussed in light of Samuel Preston's thesis that the increase in the number of elderly people contributes to their well-being. The author evaluates "three-year comparisons of Japanese expenditure data by age on the basis of special tabulations of the Social Survey for Health and Welfare Administration.... An attempt has been made to retabulate and analyze the latest available income data from...the Statistics Bureau. The results of both surveys seem to generally support the relevance [of] Preston's [argument]." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
