Abstract
⺠This is the first study to investigate the health risk of discrimination due to geographical place of residence in Japan. ⺠Geographically-based discrimination was associated with mental health after adjustment for age, socioeconomic status, social relationships and lifestyle factors. âºÂ Geographically-based discrimination was more strongly associated with mental health among highly educated people than among less educated people. ⺠The present study provided evidence for public health policy and future research in the field of discrimination and health.
