Work Group for Studying the Effects of the Specific Health Checkups and Specific Health Guidance on Health Care Expenditures (the Work Group) was convened by the Government of Japan to conduct scientific studies on the effects of the Specific Health Checkups and Specific Health Guidance (SHCSHG) on national health care expenditures and other critical health indicators. The Work Group began its activity in March 2013, and published the First Interim Report, which summarized the SHCSHG's effects on clinical indicators, and the Second Interim Report, which summarized the SHCSHG's effects on health care costs. This report contains the results of the most recent investigation regarding the SHCSHG's effects on clinical indicators and health care costs over multiple years. By combining the Third Interim Report with the First and Second Interim Reports, this document serves as the Final Report to describe all findings of the investigations the Work Group has worked on. -- Provided by publisher.
