Few studies have addressed the prediction of multiple cost domains, including medical, LTC, and dental expenditures. This study predicted medical, dental, and LTC costs in the following year for patients with type 2 diabetes and identified key predictors based on health information from the previous year.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We applied three machine learning models\u2014random forest, boosted trees, and neural networks\u2014to LTCI users\u2019 data in Japan and incorporated prior-year healthcare costs, service usage patterns, and diabetes status.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In the 2019 medical cost model, boosted trees showed the best performance for those aged 74 or younger (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.46, RMSE = 151,804 JPY). LTC costs were influenced by prior LTC spending (\u223c40%) and facility service use (30\u201350%), while dental costs were predicted by prior dental expenditures.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Prior-year medical costs strongly influenced later medical expenditures, while LTC costs reflected prior LTC spending and facility use. These quantified relationships provide insights for healthcare cost optimization and support policymakers in designing preventive strategies and care systems for aging populations with chronic diseases.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14604582251382033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,29]],"date-time":"2025-09-29T23:20:53Z","timestamp":1759188053000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of health information on medical, dental, and long-term care costs for patients with type 2 diabetes utilizing care insurance"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1030-2788","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teppei","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hokkaido University of Education, Iwamizawa, Japan"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Saito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iwamizawa City, Department of Health and Welfare, Health Promotion Division, Iwamizawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hisashi","family":"Enomoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iwamizawa City, Department of Planning and Finance, Planning Division, Iwamizawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Aoyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iwamizawa City, Administration Department, Iwamizawa Municipal General Hospital, Iwamizawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wataru","family":"Nagai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iwamizawa City, Department of Health and Welfare, Health Promotion Division, Iwamizawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katsuhiko","family":"Ogasawara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan"},{"name":"Muroran Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","volume-title":"FY2023 trends in medical expenses -MEDIAS- [Internet]","author":"Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare","year":"2024","unstructured":"Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
