We aimed to examine sex-specific risk factors for hyperuricemia or gout in Japanese cohorts.We followed up 3,188 men (mean age, 55.6 years) and 6,346 women 54.1 without hyperuricemia, gout, elevated liver enzymes at baseline from 1986 1990 a median of 14.6 years. The participants were considered as having if their serum uric acid levels ≥ 7.0 mg/dL they receiving treatment during annual health checkups. multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) incidence calculated after adjustment smoking drinking...
It has been hypothesized that dietary fiber intake a beneficial impact on prevention of dementia, but the epidemiological evidence is scant. We sought to examine whether inversely associated with risk dementia requiring care under national insurance (disabling dementia).The study setting was Circulatory Risk in Communities Study, involving 3739 Japanese individuals aged 40-64 years at surveys (1985-99). Dietary estimated using 24-hour recall method. Incident disabling followed up from 1999...
The breast cancer screening rate declined worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study examined changes in participation rates Japan before and pandemic identified subgroups with a larger decline. We used data from 2019 survey evaluating 2017-2018 (pre-pandemic) 2022 2020-2021 (during pandemic) Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions to describe by settings among women aged 40-74 years. calculated overall subgroup without adjustment for other variables (i.e., age,...
Previous research on the relationship between alcohol and stroke has highlighted several issues. Notably, conventional categorization based average consumption, which categorizes both those who consume 20 g/day of daily engage in risky single-occasion drinking (RSOD) only weekends into low drinkers, makes it difficult to account for individuals fall distinct characteristics. This study examined association stroke, accounting levels RSOD occurrences. In a community-based prospective cohort...
Active cigarette smoking was intensively reported to increase the risk of aortic mortality while research on association between cessation and remains scarce. This study aimed reconfirm associations exposure cigarettes associated with in a large Japanese population.In Japan Collaborative Cohort (JACC) Study, 91,141 residents (57±10 years; men, 43%) who were free stroke, coronary heart disease, cancer followed up from 1989-90 until 2009 during which 110 deaths dissection 112 aneurysm...
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between age at menarche and risk of cardiovascular disease mortality.
Abstract Background Suicide rates in Japan have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and foreign residents may be more vulnerable to mental stress such crises. Therefore, we aimed compare trends suicide pandemic between Japanese citizens. Methods Vital statistics of data from January 1, 2016 December 31, 2021 were used calculate quarterly sex-specific for An event-study analysis was conducted evaluate whether compared pre-pandemic estimates; citizens using...
Abstract Aims Evidence on the risk factors for incident heart failure in Asia has been limited. We sought to identify pre‐heart or symptomatic failure, based N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), Japanese general population. Methods performed a retrospective cohort study Circulatory Risk Communities Study involving 5335 individuals whose NT‐proBNP levels were measured between 2010 and 2015. Of these, 2768 people aged 30 69 years who undertook annual cardiovascular surveys at...
Alcohol consumption is a prevalent behavior that bi-directionally related to the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, effect daily alcohol on glucose levels in real-world situations general population has not been well elucidated. This study aimed clarify relationship between and all-day time-specific among non-diabetic individuals.We investigated 913 males females, aged 40-69 years, during 2018-2020 from four communities across Japan. The was assessed using self-report questionnaire. All-day...
