Activity 2
Title;
To support WHO in dissemination of the evidence on interrelationships oral health-general health-quality of life to strengthen oral health components into public health programmes.
Responsible person;
Hideo Miyazaki and Misuzu Sato
Description;
Scientific evidences about the relationships between oral and general health through Niigata elderly cohort study have extensively supported to strengthen WHO oral health promotion based on NCD prevention. NCD prevention strategies are designed with emphasis on common risk factors intervention. Opportunities and barriers for promotion of oral health are identified on the basis of experiences from the successful national campaign "Healthy Japan 21" and the enactment of "the Oral Health Promotion Law" in Japan. Through these experiences, support WHO to develop the strategy for driving oral health programmes.
Concrete expected outcome;
Assistance to public health administrators in formulation of policies and planning of oral health programmes, particularly in WPRO countries, supported by "Healthy Japan 21" and "the Oral Health Promotion Law" in Japan.
