I’m getting my Japanese Annual Health Check called Ningen Dock which got me wondering how Japan has the longest life expectancy in the world at 84 years old, only behind Hong Kong and Macau at 85 years. Interestingly, it wasn’t always the case as recently as the 1960’s where Japan had the shortest life expectancy out of the G7 countries. So as I get my Japan Health Check, I'll share some reasons why Japan was able to achieve a longer life expectancy over the years. But first, the Japanese Ningen Dock is Japan’s comprehensive health check system for early detection of disease broken down in 3 parts, early detection of cancer, detection of lifestyle related diseases and the confirmation of one’s health status. Ningen meaning person and dock, like a dockyard inspecting and repairing ships. In 1954, Japan established it’s first Ningen Dock day, and remember at that time, Japan had the shortest life expectancy of all the G7 countries, largely due to high mortality rates from cerebrovascular disease and stomach cancer. But over the last 60 years, Japan’s increased it’s medical level while also implementing a universal health insurance system to lower medical costs and developed a high standard of healthcare such requiring employers to pay for standard health examinations, Ippan Kenkou Shindan for their full-time employees or having more comprehensive paid examinations such as the Ningen Dock. All on top of promoting a traditional healthy diet leading to one of the longest average life expectancies in the world.

@Jordan-inJapan 2 месяца назад

I agree the quality of healthcare here is quite good, from my experience, but I don’t think that’s the whole story behind Japanese longevity. I also often hear people attribute “healthy traditional diet” or even “green tea”. And yes, their TRADITIONAL diet is pretty healthy (lots veggies and fish, and healthy fermented stuff like natto). The interesting thing is that not everyone here eats like that, and it doesn’t seem to be driving down the life expectancy rate much (yet). Green tea then? Ha, we do drink a lot of it over here, but from what I’ve read the health benefits are overrated. Personally, I think it really comes down to the fact that older people here are just so active and disciplined. They walk, they hike, they socialize, they garden (and I mean serious gardening), and they look after their grandkids. My (wife’s) grandma is 101 years old, and she still lives in her own house and can mostly take care of herself. Being active and socially engaged is just a cultural norm here.

It’s the combination of good healthcare, good diet and good amount of exercise. Looking at Hong Kong which has topped the longetivity list for many years, their low fat, high fibre diet coupled with good public healthcare and public transport (rather than driving) is what drives their long life span.

@Jordan-inJapan 2 месяца назад

@@missplainjane3905 yes, the quality of healthcare in rural areas is also good -especially, I’ve noticed the level of care at rural or small-town clinics is often even better than those in big cities.

@Jordan-inJapan 2 месяца назад

@@missplainjane3905 It definitely is good for that. It’s also a good source of vitamin C and catechin. (Regular green has much of the same benefits, but with matcha you’re actually ingesting the leaves, instead of just infusing them.) The problem with all this as it relates to Japanese longevity is that few Japanese people drink matcha regularly. We do drink a lot of regular green tea and ‘hoji-cha’ though.

Yes it is, even with insurance it can be very expensive. They also like to blame all someone's health issues on their weight if they are a little above what the BMI chart says they should be at. They just tell people to lose weight, even if their medical issue has nothing to do with that. The BMI chart is a joke and doesn't work for many people, but the healthcare providers keep using it. I think it's a hinderance more than anything. Yes, being overweight is a problem in the US, but it's not what's causes many health issues.

I just did some of those tests in Kagoshima. Total cost was about ¥5,000 (US$35). It was nothing like the super clean office setup you had. They have a traveling roadshow of big trucks with machines that they pair with a gym or city venue for the bits that don't require the trucks -urine -stool -blood work -chest x-ray -ultrasound -stomach check with barium -height, weight, waist measurement Done in two hours. Everything was clear except the stomach check. They saw something so I had to have the same endoscope you did about a month later. It was perfectly clear but I'm glad that they can find things early. I chose to do it without being put under. That numbing spray was a bit unsettling as suddenly I couldn't swallow but the scary bit passed after a few minutes.

Same in America, we just get a quick check of blood pressure, listening to heart and lungs, and blood work sometimes. Heck, a flight to and from Japan, + hotel for 2 days, + the exam is still less than my out of pocket expense with insurance for 4hrs in the ER for high blood pressure ($3000 out of pocket, $19,000 billed to insurance), im also sure that if i didnt max out my out of pocket last year my endoscopy would have cost more than the entire exam he had with his endoscopy.

That comprehensive health exam in Japan is pretty cool and very thorough. That is a beautiful, spacious clinic you went to also. I am a anesthesiology physician here in the US and the annual health exams I get here are much less thorough. I just get blood work and a visit with my primary care doctor for a quick checkup. I did get a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer (upon my request) but I have never gotten an upper endoscopy exam, the vascular health exam, or an ultrasound test of the abdomen and prostate. I am guessing you probably got something like Versed (midazolam) for sedation if you were conscious during the procedure but don't remember anything. Thanks for the cool video.

@rsac43 2 месяца назад

If you get sick in Japan it isn't as expensive or have huge wait times like in some G7 countries. You can get an MRI done SAME DAY, usually the same hour... and its not that expensive. We pay 30% which sounds high but the costs arent inflated like in the USA. I have a student whose wife had open heart surgery. The cost was ¥6 million ($40,000) but they paid ¥1.2 million yen ($8,000) and insurance paid all of it back plus more. Also, wait times are short. An MRI might take months to get in Canada but is literally done same day in Japan. Even surgeries can be arranged with shorter wait times. I had a root canal. Total cost (¥180)... about $1.40... but my student was the dentist so they may have given me a discount.

@sandyseibelhager7131 2 месяца назад

So much more comprehensive than the exams here in the states. Also the outfit change is so much better than the rear opening gowns here in the US. Here in the US we’d call what you had for the endoscopy “twilight sedation”. Local anesthesia here would be like numbing the area and you remain awake(usually for minor procedures like stitches etc). Our annual physicals usually consist of height/weight measurements, temperature, blood pressure, listen to heart and lungs, look at ears, nose and throat and eyes and feel lymph nodes. Then they talk to you for five minutes. That’s it, they add things like blood work as you get older (although some may do annually). Depending on age, men may get prostate exam and women may get pap smear(to screen for cancer of female reproductive parts) and mammograms. From there you might get referred to a specialist for endoscopy or colonoscopy etc

I wish I went through these exams here in the US...they would've caught my stomach cancer early. Now, I have stage 4 stomach cancer. Been through 19 rounds of chemo and now going through maximum radiation treatment. I used to be 190 lbs (@5' 10")....now, I'm 139 lbs.

Very interesting. It’s nice that they have one place to do all these tests. Helps you identify issues early and remedy them. In the US, we have to look into different providers and coverage which makes this so cumbersome.

I so wish we had this type of care in the USA. I feel many would really benefit from this level of care . The staff too seemed very informed and so friendly. You are blessed to live there. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the world.

@benwalter4842 2 месяца назад

Same (even if it is slightly more expensive and a bit longer time wise). It is stupid how the medical industry says that many of the exams shown in this video are unnecessary (at least for yearly exams). I go not get it. Our healthcare system sucks in general as well though. Blame the Republicans for not wanting to spend extra money to have cheaper/affordable healthcare.

Watching this video and realizing that from the start until the very last minute you were treating like a valuable human been give me the chills 😢 I have always wanted to be treated like that everytime I need some medical treatment but end up feeling more sick or even dumb because "is not a big deal" what I have (according to the specialist) 😫 . This clinic accepts foreigners? 😅

Paolo, you should also do one of those dna tests. It'll be interesting to find out if you have Chinese ancestry besides Filipino and possibly Spanish

Never thought we’d see the inside of Paolo’s stomach. Also the fact that Japan’s annual health check is free and with relaxing amount of time taken to ensure the person is healthy is an amazing fact I’ve learned from this video!

Cheap and/or free healthcare, cheap and/or free education (if you're poor), a national pension, public and subsidized housing, and plenty of other public amenities. Japan is a much more progressive country than outsiders might think of it as.

@@southcoastinventors6583 The drug laws are extreme but they do work. Although, people here just drink a lot instead. Still, better than the opioid and fentanyl epidemic currently happening in the U.S. The work culture is extreme but it is getting better. Also, if you’re a “foreigner”, managers are much more lenient and will allow you to do things like leave on time.

I also wish we had this. Of course our corrupt and greedy system will never allow for it. Do not get me started on how the pharmaceutical industry also wants you to tell your doctor about what medications could help you (and not the other way around).
