Background/Objectives: Macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrate) provide sources of energy play crucial roles in various physiological functions. However, sex differences the relationships between protein, carbohydrate intakes all-cause mortality remain unclear. The present study investigated using longitudinal epidemiological data. Methods: A total 3743 healthy residents (1666 men 2077 women) aged 40 years or older were followed up (men: 6.64 ± 1.51 years, women: 6.76 1.28 from 2013)...
Sedentary behaviors have recently become an important public health issue. We aimed to investigate the relationship between screen time and nutrient intake in children adolescents. The present study was conducted 2013. Data were collected from adolescents aged 6 15 years old Shika town.

Methods We performed 10‐year follow‐up on 133 elderly who were institutionalized nursing home. associations IL‐1ß IL‐6 at both...
The association between heavy metals exposure and respiratory diseases or allergic sensitization showing high serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) has been suggested. However, previous findings have inconsistent the mechanisms responsible remain unclear. We evaluated metal its with coughing, itchy eyes in chronic cough patients different IgE levels. Ninety outpatients Kanazawa University Hospital were recruited January-June 2011. Subjects whose total measured by radioimmunosorbent test asked to...
The relationship between oral frailty (OF) and bone mineral density is unclear. This cross-sectional study analyzed the intake in middle-aged older people with pre-oral OF. participants, which included 240 aged 40 years older, completed three questions on Kihon Checklist (KCL), a self-reported comprehensive health checklist, brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ), osteo-sono assessment index (OSI). A two-way analysis of covariance function OSI indicated that...
The prevalence of allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, nasal allergies (pollinosis), and food allergies, has been increasing in many countries. hygiene hypothesis was recently considered from the perspective exposure to antimicrobial agents preservatives, parabens (CAS number, 94-13-3). It currently remains unclear whether parabens, which are included daily consumer products cosmetics, shampoos, personal care preservative agents, induce or aggravate allergies....
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP) are common chronically allergic diseases associated with the activation of T-helper 2 cells. Recent studies have shown that polymorphisms in genes for IL-4 receptor α chain (IL4RA) may contribute to susceptibility AD JCP, although differences involvements loci IL4RA gene between JCP unclear. In this study, we investigated role IL-4RA conferring development and/or using a family analysis an association population. Five gene, C-3223 T,...
Although epidemiological studies revealed a relationship between psychosocial states, such as depressive symptoms, and nutritional intake, limited information is currently available on vitamin intake. The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) not to specific disease, it constructed based universal concept of health used evaluate the Quality life (QOL). A three-component scoring method was developed for “Physical component score (PCS)”, “Mental (MCS)”, “Role/social (RCS)”. Collectively, these...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) impairs cognitive functions, subsequently decreasing activity of daily living (ADL), and is frequently accompanied by lower limb fracture including hip in the elderly. However, there have been few studies on what kinds physical functions are affected or degrees dysfunction produced this combination. This study aims to clarify relationship between decreased ADL combination AD fracture.We examined present illness 4340 elderly aged 82.8 ± 9.36 years [average standard...
Although depression and body weight have individually been associated with chronic pain (CP), it currently remains unclear whether the combination of depressive symptoms (DS) being underweight/overweight is related to CP. Therefore, we herein investigated relationships among depression, mass index (BMI), CP in community-dwelling middle-aged elderly individuals. Participants comprised 2216 inhabitants Shika town Ishikawa prefecture, Japan, including 1003 males (mean age 68.72 years, standard...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence chronic pain (CP) and relationship between CP, especially headache adjusted for CP at other sites, health-related quality life (HRQoL) in middle-aged Japanese residents. We examined (defined as persisting 3 months or more) HRQoL (SF-36) 1117 residents Japan. assessed eight dimensions health status component SF-36 summary score HRQoL. 15.3% among men 15.1% women. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that lumbar (p β = -0.132),...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have been advised to take vitamins; however, the effects controversial. The individual differences in developing CKD might involve genetic variants of inflammation, including variant rs883484 located upstream prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1) gene. We aimed identify whether 12 dietary vitamin intake interacts with genotypes on CKD. population-based, cross-sectional study had 684 Japanese participants (≥40 years old). used a validated, brief,...
Background: Situs inversus is a rare complication of cystic kidney diseases. Only three genes, INVS (NPHP2), NPHP3 and PKD2 have been proved to be responsible for some cases, while the genes in many others are still unknown. Case Reports: Here we report two male patients with situs combined disease without any family history polycystic disease. Their renal function was normal childhood but culminated end stage middle age. No pathogenic mutations were found mutation analysis INVS, IFT88,...
The association between oral frailty (OFr) and body action has been investigated, but its with systemic function remains unclear. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined the OFr decreased bone mineral density (BMD) renal in residents of Shika town, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan aged ≥40 years. This included 400 inhabitants. total score was assessed using three domains Kihon Checklist (a self-reported comprehensive health checklist), number teeth, brushing frequency per day. Measurements...

Abstract Although the relationship between dyslipidaemia (DL) and coronary artery disease (CAD) or trace minerals intake CAD is well known separately, exact nature of this remains unknown. We hypothesize that mineral may differ depending on whether not individual has DL. The present study analysed relationships among intake, DL, in middle-aged older adults living Shika town, Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. This included 895 residents following exclusion those with genetic risk carriers for...
