AimsAlthough dietary saturated fatty acids (SFA) are considered atherogenic, associations between SFAs intake and stroke coronary heart disease still debated. We sought to test the hypothesis that SFA is associated inversely with risk of its subtypes positively among Japanese, whose average lower than Westerners.
Background As the global population ages, extending not only life expectancy (LE) but also healthy (HALE) has become a critical public health objective. Dietary choices, especially intake of various fatty acids, may play role in achieving good health.
We created a Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS), and to clarify the relationship between TJDS obesity, ischemic heart disease (IHD), healthy life expectancy (HALE).
Abstract Objective: To examine the association between green tea and coffee intake cognitive decline in older adults. Design: A prospective cohort study. The average of previous year was assessed through a dietitian interview using dietary questionnaire. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) conducted up to six times biennially. Cognitive screened MMSE; its incidence defined as first time score <27 points obtained biennial test from baseline. Hazard ratios for were estimated according two...
Seafood/fish intake has been regarded as a protective factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), while smoking is strong risk factor. To examine whether associations between and of CHD are modified by seafood/fish intake, we studied 72,012 Japanese men women aged 45–74 years who completed 2 food frequency questionnaires, 5 apart, during the period 1995–2009. After 878,163 person-years follow-up, 584 incident cases (101 fatal 483 nonfatal), including 516 myocardial infarctions, were documented....
Studies conducted on Japanese people have suggested that a traditional diet contributes to good health, longevity, and protection against several non-communicable diseases. However, it is unknown whether dietary patterns are associated with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer mortality globally. The purpose of this cross-sectional longitudinal ecological study clarify the global association between score (TJDS) all-cause, total mortality.Data food supply disease covariables...
Abstract Objective: This study aimed to objectively evaluate the diet consumed in a workplace cafeteria group Japanese workers according vegetables and salt intake estimate association of these groups with changes cardiometabolic measurements. Design: longitudinal observational estimated food nutrient from data recorded system their workplace. The primary outcomes included measures obtained via regular health check-ups conducted at participants were divided into four high or low based on...
There is a need for global public health strategies to effectively curb the ever-growing diabetes population. This longitudinal ecological study was conducted elucidate country-specific trends of age-standardised prevalence type 2 mellitus (T2DM) and their association with socioeconomic, lifestyle indicators.Data pertaining T2DM (rates per 100 000) indicators were obtained from several international databases. Data available 1990 2017 139 countries populations 1 million or greater analysed,...
Abstract Background Reducing the environmental impact of food supply is important for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. Previously, we developed Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS) and reported in a global ecological study that diet associated with reducing obesity extending healthy life expectancy etc. We then examined relationship between TJDS indicators. Methods The average (g/day/capita) energy supplies (kcal/day/capita) by country were obtained from Food...
Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the association between green tea and coffee consumption risk of kidney cancer using data from a large prospective cohort in Japan (the Public Health Center-based Prospective Study: JPHC Study). A total 102,463 participants aged 40–69 were followed during 1,916,421 person-years (mean follow-up period, 19 years). 286 cases (199 men, 87 women) identified. Cox proportional hazards regression models used estimate hazard ratios (HRs) 95% confidence intervals...
The traffic congestion in and around Tokyo has become intensified year after year, the subway come to be looked upon as most effective way of eliminating it, or alleviating it an appreciable extent at least. Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) Japan had automatic train control (ATC) system operation for many years ensure safety adequately while fully exploiting its service efficiency. In face ever-increasing population transport demand, quest higher efficiency pioneered developing (ATO)...
As a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-related restrictions, food systems have undergone unprecedented changes, with potential to affect dietary behavior. We aimed investigate workers’ changes resulting from introduction regulations combat COVID-19 in Japanese factory cafeteria. Objective data on daytime intake were automatically collected electronic purchase system records. The dataset included weekly 890 men 1 July 30 September 2020. cafeteria came into effect 10...
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to clarify the global relationship between Mediterranean diet score (MDS) and country-wise incidence mortality ischaemic heart disease (IHD) using an international database. Methods We used population data from a longitudinal database covering 137 countries with over one million. MDS were evaluated based on total nine foods that comprise diet. IHD by country derived Global Burden Disease (GBD) Average food (g/day/capita) energy supply...
The relationship between egg consumption and ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains controversial as there is still no clear answer regarding the relationship, with research limited to a few geographical regions. In current study, we conducted longitudinal analysis of association intake IHD incidence (IHDi) mortality (IHDd) using 28 years international data from 1990 2018. Egg (g/day/capita) by country was obtained Global Dietary Database. Age-standard IHDi IHDd rates per 100,000 subjects in...
Positive and negative associations with risk of cognitive decline have been reported for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level green tea (GT) intake, respectively. This study aimed to assess whether the reduction in GT intake depended on HbA1c level. The participants were aged ≥60 years at baseline cohort study, wherein examinations conducted biennially from 2000 2012. Subjects (n=1,304) who had no during first survey participated follow-up least once included. end point was screening time...
Prevention and improvement of hypertension is one the most important health issues worldwide. The traditional Japanese diet contributes to prevention some non-communicable diseases associated with hypertension. However, whether dietary patterns are prevalence systolic blood pressure (SBP) worldwide remains unknown. In this study, we aimed investigate score (TJDS) SBP.
