Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) is a unique phenotype that apparently protects people from the metabolic complications of obesity. The association between MHO and incident CKD unclear. Thus, this study investigated CKD.A total 3136 Japanese participants were enrolled in an 8-year follow-up cohort 2001. status was assessed by common clinical markers: BP, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose concentrations. Body mass index ≥25.0 kg/m(2) defined as proteinuria or eGFR <60...
Skipping breakfast or irregular is associated with poor glycemic control. However, a relationship between the timing of dinner and control in people type 2 diabetes remains indefinite. Therefore, we investigated late-night-dinner diabetes. We performed questionnaire survey for lifestyle factors this cross-sectional study. defined having later than eight pm as late-night-dinner. examined differences clinical metabolic parameters those who have do not have. also HbA1c, using multiple...
Propolis contains a variety of chemical compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic aldehydes, amino acids and vitamins, presents numerous biological pharmacological properties. The aim the present study was to evaluate effect propolis on blood examination data in patients with type 2 diabetes. In double-blind, 8-week randomized controlled study, 80 diabetes were enrolled. Patients randomly assigned receive Brazilian green (226.8 mg/day for 8 weeks) (n=41) or placebo (n=39)....
Background Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) permits direct visualization of not only coronary artery stenosis but also the characteristics plaques in patients with disease (CAD). Also, because its potential to be a novel risk factor for cardiovascular disease, interest non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is increasing. Methods and Results Participants comprised 298 consecutive who received MSCT diagnose CAD. Patients an alcohol intake exceeding 20 g/day or history known were excluded from...
Recent cross-sectional studies revealed that sarcopenia is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in general population. However, it remains to be elucidated the association between skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and hepatic steatosis patients type 2 diabetes. In this study of 145 Japanese (79 men 66 women) diabetes, we examined correlation SMI steatosis. Skeletal was estimated from bioimpedance analysis measurements (%) defined as (kg)/total body weight (kg) × 100....
A variety of risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD), including the metabolic syndrome, were recently reported. It has been suggested that a low urine pH is another characteristic syndrome. However, relationship between and CKD remains to be elucidated.A cohort study was performed on 1,811 subjects who underwent health check-up, we examined whether could predictor CKD. The following evaluated: age, gender, history alcohol intake smoking, BMI, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma...
OBJECTIVE Recent study has suggested that not only the presence of hypertension but also variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) are risk factors for vascular disease and organ damage. The aim this was to investigate relationship between visit-to-visit SBP change urinary albumin excretion (UAE) or development albuminuria patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We measured 354 consecutive at every visit during 1 year calculated coefficient variation (CV) SBP. performed...
Background To effectively manage the progression of diabetic kidney disease, it is essential to address associated hyperkalaemia while concurrently using renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. In this study, we aim evaluate effects administering sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by hyperkalaemia. Methods analysis A total 80 will be included in study randomly stratified into two...
Low concentrations of endogenous androgens have been linked with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Men diabetes reported to lower serum testosterone concentration than non-diabetic men; however, there has never a large study. The aim this study was investigate if androgen is certainly in relatively number Japanese patients type 2 compared healthy men, identify what factors may be associated low men diabetes. Serum free were measured 524 331 consecutive between 40 69 years old. In...
The aims of this study were to examine if serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are lower in men with type 2 diabetes compared those healthy and investigate what factors may be associated PSA diabetes.We the 224 diabetic 1,293 investigated relationships between various variables.Except for aged 40-49 years, than men. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that age, BMI, presence independent determinants level.Serum men, which is line previous reports patients at a decreased risk...
A low-carbohydrate diet based on animal sources is associated with higher all-cause mortality, whereas a vegetable-based lower cardiovascular disease mortality. It has been suggested that acid/base imbalance might play an important role in some cardiometabolic abnormalities. The aims of the present study were to evaluate whether carbohydrate intake quality dietary protein and acid load, these are related metabolic syndrome patients type 2 diabetes.The cross-sectional involved 149 diabetes....
Abstract Background & Aims Sarcopenia is reported to be associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Evaluation of skeletal muscle attenuation and area by computed tomography (CT) may represent a promising approach for evaluation the risk NAFLD. We examined association between characteristics NAFLD investigated combined effect these parameters on prevalence Methods In this cross‐sectional study, we analysed data from 632 middle‐aged Japanese subjects without daily alcohol...
