The government has shifted its medical policy to "prevention and health promotion" and focused on improving the implementation rate of "lifestyle health checkups" and "health guidance" to prevent lifestyle disease. But it remains very low.
This study quantitatively analyzes the effects of municipal prevention and health promotion policies on the implementation rate of lifestyle health checkups and health guidance of municipal national health insurance, and considers their policy implications.
The analysis results are as follows.
(1) The promotion of "Community-based integrated care systems" affects the implementation rate of lifestyle health checkups and health guidance, and the factor is the strength of ties within a community.
(2) The effects of providing incentives and information to lifestyle health checkups are not clear and do not support the theory of previous studies.
(3) Understanding the importance of health and general medical examinations through the promotion of cancer screening and the use of generic drugs indirectly contributes to the improvement of implementation rate of lifestyle health checkups and health guidance.
