Non Communicable Diseases

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 recognized non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a major public health challenge. NCDs are usually multifactorial diseases influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, which makes them difficult to prevent and treat effectively. Medical and health big data, consisting of lifestyle, clinical, and biological data, provide an almost unlimited amount of information about diseases, far exceeding the human ability to make sense of it. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the potential to analyze large and complex datasets in order to improve predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (3P medicine)

This book is the first compilation that reviews a wide range of social determinants of health (SDHs) for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and healthy ageing in Japan. With the highest life expectancy and the largest elderly population in the world, Japan has witnessed health inequality by region and social class becoming more prevalent since the 2000s.
