1 *Yes, kangaroos are **potentially dangerous animals,** especially male
kangaroos. They have strong hind legs and long powerful claws capable of
causing irreparable damage to their opponents. However, kangaroos are
usually docile creatures and would only attack if provoked or when their
young ones are threatened. To avoid potential danger from a kangaroo, you
should keep a safe distance.*
*2 Diabetics at Japan is high : *More than 10 million Japanese people
were “strongly suspected to have diabetes” as of 2016, according to a
survey on national health and nutrition conducted by the Ministry of
Health, Labor, and Welfare. This is an increase of 500,000 over the
previous survey conducted in 2012, and the first time for the figure to
surpass the 10-million mark. Meanwhile, the number of persons whose health
results show they are at risk of contracting diabetes was around 10 million
persons, a decrease of 1 million compared to the previous survey.
Factors thought to underlie the rise in diabetes cases in Japan include the
increase in the number of elderly, who are more vulnerable to disease, and
the rise in obesity due to a lack of exercise and irregular eating habits.
Another reason is that more people have been diagnosed with the disease
after being advised to visit a medical institution based on the results of
the metabolic syndrome examination, which was introduced in 2008 to prevent
lifestyle-related diseases. The number of diabetes cases is expected to
rise to an even higher level in the years ahead as the aging of Japanese
society accelerates.
Among adults, 12.1% had diabetes; 16.3% for men and 9.3% for women. Men
and women were nearly equal with regard to the percentage of those at risk
of diabetes, at 12.2% for men and 12.1% for women. By age, 23% of men in
their seventies, 21.8% in their sixties, and 12.6% in their fifties had
diabetes, while 16.8% of women in their seventies, 12.0% in their sixties,
and 6.1% in their fifties had the disease.
Once a person has contracted diabetes there is no cure. If the condition of
the disease worsens, it can lead to blindness and the need for dialysis. A
study conducted by the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy found that the
number of dialysis patients rose from 53,017 in 1983 to 329,609 in 2016, of
whom roughly 40% are sufferers of diabetic kidney disease.
Monthly medical costs for dialysis average roughly ¥400,000 per person, and
total around ¥1.6 trillion annually for the country as a whole, accounting
for approximately 4% of all medical expenditures.
