No scoring system has ever been used to estimate the prognosis of individual tuberculosis (TB) patients.To develop and validate a prognostic score.This retrospective cohort study conducted in Japan comprised development (n = 179; mean age 65.9 ± 18.8 years) validation 244; 64.3 20.1 score among patients with newly diagnosed smear-positive non-multidrug-resistant pulmonary without human immunodeficiency virus infection. The (raw score) was defined by modifying logistic regression formula...
The present study aimed to estimate cumulative incidence of overweight and obesity describe 5-year longitudinal changes in body mass index (BMI) a large occupational cohort Japan.Participants were 55 229 Japanese employees, who aged 20-59 years attended at all subsequent annual health check-ups between 2009 2014. Mixed model analysis was performed examine the effects age by gender on BMI change, with as random variable. Cumulative (23.0≤ <27.5 kg/m2 ) (BMI ≥27.5 calculated. Logistic...
Background: We examined the association between socioeconomic and health status, lifestyle sickness presenteeism among Japanese workers during COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study using an Internet-monitor survey was conducted in December, 2020 Japan. Of 33,302 participants, we analyzed 27,036 participants (13,814 men 13,222 women) who reported experience with presenteeism. Results: The odds ratio (OR) of associated unmarried versus married status 1.15. Respective figures for...
The aim of the study is to examine relationship between toner-exposed work and health indices related respiratory disorders confirm baseline a cohort clarify effect toner exposure in manufacturing plants. Subjects were 1614 male workers (809 805 referents) who engaged plants Japan (Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd). age subjects was from 19 59 years, average 40.2 years(median 40 SD 7.67). We conducted pulmonary function test (PEFR, VC, FVC, FEV(1.0)%, V25/Ht) blood cell (RBC, Hb, Hct, Plt, WBC, contents...
Abstract Objectives We aimed to explore the relationship between objective cognitive functioning and work performance among Japanese workers. Methods From February November 2019, this cross-sectional study enrolled workers aged 18–65 years from 10 companies located in a metropolitan area of Japan. emailed invitations participate employees that had agreed cooperate with study. measured question, “How would you rate your (compared optimum performance) over past 4 weeks?” Responses were made...
In this baseline study, part of a cohort study to clarify the effect toner exposure on respiratory system, we surveyed 803 male workers and 802 referents with regard their subjective symptoms chest X-ray results. We also examined individual history, current working conditions, personal levels toner. There was significantly higher prevalence “coughing sputum” related complaints among toner-exposed in 30 40-year age groups. The group toner-exposure history showed odds ratio, by logistic...
This study examines the relationship between toner-handling work and its health effects on self-reported respiratory symptoms. The subjects were 1,504 male workers in a Japanese toner photocopier manufacturing company. Personal exposure measurement, pulmonary function tests, chest X-ray examination, measurement of biomarkers, questionnaire about symptoms performed annually. discusses results. We found that group showed significantly higher prevalence breathlessness than never-toner-handling...
Objectives: This study examines the relationship between toner exposure and its health effects in terms of biomarkers which are known to assess damages humans caused by toxic material exposure. Methods: The subjects were 1504 male workers aged below 50 2003 a Japanese photocopier manufacturing company. Personal measurements, pulmonary function tests, chest X-ray examinations, biomarker measurement, questionnaire about respiratory symptoms conducted. We will report measurement this study....

Cognitive tests self-administered questionnaires were completed by participants three times: at baseline, after 12 weeks CT, further following cessation. measured with...
This report shows the relationship between toner exposure and respiratory effects for individuals with a longterm occupational toner-handling history, from 2004 to 2013.Authors studied 752 Japanese male workers in handling workshops. A total of 673 men who participated an annual monitoring survey were analyzed this study. The following was performed same season each year: personal measurements, biological markers, function tests, chest X-ray, chronic symptoms incidences diseases. To evaluate...
Abstract Background Exposure to toner, a substance used in photocopiers and printers, has been associated with siderosilicosis other adverse effects. However, these findings are limited, there is insufficient evidence on the long-term effects of toner exposure. Using longitudinal analysis, this study aimed examine work involving exposure respiratory system over time. Methods We conducted prospective cohort Japanese copier manufacturing enterprise between 2003 2013. The included total 1468...
