Analysis of Medical Care Expenditure by Japanese Prefecture using Fuzzy Robust Regression Model

摘要

In 2012, 15.13% of the total fiscal medical care expenditure was for lifestyle-related health care costs, which was approximately 179 billion yen. Lifestyle-related diseases are not only the biggest factor in reducing healthy life expectancy but also have the most significant impact on the national medical care expenditure. In addition, lifestyle-related diseases can be prevented by moderate daily exercise, a well-balanced diet, and not smoking.Our fuzzy robust regression model is a controllable model describing a target system. Therefore, our model is used to analyze the relation between medical care expenditure and selected lifestyle factors.
