Department of Public Health, Juntendo University School of Medicine<\/jats:bold>\u2014Objective of this study is to clarify the health\u2010related conditions of Japanese male expatriates in Thailand. Records of Japanese male expatriates in their 30s to 50s who consulted outpatient clinics at Bangkok Hospital in 2005 were analyzed for number and type of outpatient visits then compared with data from the \u201cPatient Survey\u201d 2005 for age\u2010matched males in Japan. \u201cDiseases of the respiratory system\u201d and \u201cCertain infectious and parasitic diseases\u201d had a higher rate of diagnosis among Japanese men living in Thailand than those living in Japan. \u201cEndocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases,\u201d and \u201cMental and behavioral disorders\u201d had a lower rate of diagnosis among Japanese men living in Thailand than those in Japan. \u201cAcute upper respiratory infections\u201d accounted for 87.4% of \u201cDiseases of the respiratory system\u201d and \u201cintestinal infections\u201d accounted for 59.9% of \u201cCertain infectious and parasitic diseases\u201d among expatriates. Japanese male expatriates have a tendency of not visiting hospital when they have no subjective or objective symptoms. To support a healthy expatriate life, health information should be propagated widely and available support services, such as counseling via e\u2010mail or fax, should be actively promoted. Expatriates should be informed of the availability of these services before they go abroad and during their stay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.l7072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,10]],"date-time":"2008-04-10T05:51:46Z","timestamp":1207806706000},"page":"103-113","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Patterns of Outpatient Visits by Japanese Male Expatriates in Thailand"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Rie","family":"Sakai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Juntendo University School of Medicine Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Som\u2010Arch","family":"Wongkhomthong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bangkok Hospital Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eiji","family":"Marui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Juntendo University School of Medicine Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suchart","family":"Laobhripatr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bangkok Hospital Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","unstructured":"The Ministry of Consular Affairs Consular Affairs Bureau Consular and Migration Policy Division.The Number of Japanese Expatriates 2006 edition.
