Japanese Study on Stratification, Health, Income, and Neighborhood (J-SHINE)
J-SHINE aims to clarify the complex associations between social factors and health from an interdisciplinary perspective. Adult community inhabitants, aged 25–50 years, were probabilistically selected from the residential registry in each of four municipalities (two in the Tokyo metropolitan area and two in neighboring prefectures). Wave 1 sample sizes were 4,357 for wave 1 participants, 1,873 for spouse/partner, and 1,520 for child. Wave 2 captured 69.0% of wave 1 participants. A subpopulation underwent physiological (n = 2,468) and biomarker (n = 1,205) measurements. Of the participants, 3,925 (90.0%) accessed the questionnaire through the internet, 412 (9.5%) used a stand-alone CAPI system, and 20 (0.5%) accepted an interview using the CAPI. Half of the participants who chose an interview were aged 45 to 50 years
