OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the study was to investigate the trends and regional variations in infant mortality rates in Japan.
METHOD
The data from 1973 to 1998 analysed in this paper were from the Vital Statistics Division, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan.
RESULTS
Infant mortality rates declined significantly between 1973 and 1998 in all regions. Statistically significant differences in infant mortality rates among the regions were observed in 1973, 1974, 1976, 1977 and 1978. However, the regional differences in infant mortality rates were insignificant thereafter, indicating elimination of regional variations in infant mortality in Japan.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study indicated declines in infant mortality rates in all regions, with elimination of regional variations in infant mortality in Japan in the last two decades. This may be attributable to both qualitative and quantitative improvements in health and medical services in Japan.
目的
本研究旨在调查日本婴儿死亡率的趋势和地区差异。
方法
本文分析的1973年至1998年的数据来自日本厚生劳动省生命统计司。
结果
1973年至1998年期间，所有地区的婴儿死亡率均显著下降。在1973年、1974年、1976年、1977年和1978年观察到各地区婴儿死亡率存在统计学上的显著差异。然而，此后婴儿死亡率的地区差异不显著，这表明日本婴儿死亡率的地区差异已消除。
结论
本研究结果表明，所有地区的婴儿死亡率均有所下降，过去二十年来日本婴儿死亡率的地区差异已消除。这可能归因于日本卫生和医疗服务在质量和数量上的改善。
