Little is known about the influence of blood pressure (BP) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes among Asian populations. We examined population attributable fractions (PAFs) and hazard ratios (HRs) associated with BP in relation to stroke coronary heart (CHD) incident mortality within a cohort 33,372 Japanese men women aged 40–69 years, free prior diagnosis cancer CVD. The was classified based modified criteria 2003 European Society Hypertension–European Cardiology guidelines. A total...
<h3>Background:</h3> Previous studies have suggested that living in a multi-generational household (a type of family structure prevalent Japan) confers mixed health benefits and stresses, especially for women who report such arrangements. <h3>Objective:</h3> To examine, prospective cohort study, the impact arrangements on incidence coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality as well all-cause large Japanese population. <h3>Methods:</h3> The association between risk CHD was examined prospectively...
Although numerous studies of type A behaviour and risk coronary heart disease (CHD) have been reported in the west (with mixed findings), few carried out Asian populations.We examined prospectively association between A-behaviour CHD incidence within a cohort 86 361 Japanese men women aged 40-69 years. total 669 cases newly diagnosed occurred baseline questionnaire (1990-94) end follow-up January 2004.We found no overall evidence an incidence. The multivariate hazard ratio (HR) 95%...
<h3>Background</h3> Recent reports have found an association between social support and reduced prevalence of metabolic syndrome (or its components) in the West; however, no study has been carried out Asian populations. <h3>Methods</h3> The authors examined 12 537 men women who were part Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study initiated 1993.

Abstract. Objectives. To examine whether the risk of mortality varies according to parents’ age at death. Design and subjects. A large prospective study in Japanese men women from 45 communities across Japan. total 51 485 aged 40–79 years completed self‐administered questionnaires baseline followed up for 9.6 years. Results. The stroke, cardiovascular disease, all causes was 20–30% lower with fathers who died ≥80 years, compared those whose death <60 similar reduction found when mothers...
Background The Japan Arteriosclerosis Longitudinal Study-Existing Cohorts Combine (JALS-ECC) is a pooled study based on individual participant data from existing prospective cohort studies in Japan. Its purpose was to consider associations between risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, as well differences subgroups, defined by age, gender or geographical region, which could not be detected the smaller samples. Methods Results Individual records for 66,691 participants 21...
The Fukushima Nuclear Energy Workers' Support (NEWS) Project Study previously showed that experiences related to the nuclear disaster on 11 March 2011 had a great impact psychological states, including post-traumatic stress response (PTSR) and general distress (GPD), among plant workers. To determine causal relationship between disaster-related levels of we conducted 3-year longitudinal study from 2014.PTSR GPD workers were assessed by annual questionnaires 2014. present included total 1417...
Background: Uterine atony is the leading cause of severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH); however, underlying intractable atonic PPH unresponsive to conventional treatments (such as uterotonics and intrauterine balloon tamponade) remains unclear.Objectives: The aim this study was investigate whether associated with type bleeding (arterial or nonarterial) its location, along variations in size shape uterine cavity after delivery.Study design: This retrospective included women who had undergone a...
Pessimism, a general tendency toward negative expectancies, is risk factor for depression and also heart disease, stroke, reduced cancer survival. There evidence that individuals with higher lead exposure have poorer health. However, low socioeconomic status (SES) linked levels greater pessimism, it unclear whether influences psychological functioning independently of other social factors. The authors considered interrelations among childhood adult SES, levels, in data collected on 412...
Background : Non-participants to psychosocial studies have been shown higher mortality, and mortality differs between partial complete responders questionnaires. Yet, there is very little information available directly linking survey response status with completing suicide. Methods The study population consisted of the participants Japanese Public Health Center-based prospective study. Ninety-nine thousand four hundred thirty-nine subjects who returned 10-year follow-up questionnaire 31 754...
The need for tailoring ovarian cancer treatments to individual patients is increasing. This study aimed evaluate the prognostic value of pretreatment laboratory test data predicting response and survival outcomes platinumbased chemotherapy in cancer.We enrolled 270 with diagnosed at Kyoto Medical Center (n=120; group A) University (n=150; B). Data on 9 blood parameters (neutrophil lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet rate [PLR], C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], glucose, total...
Commercial drivers suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) have been identified as a major cause of road traffic accidents. Alcohol usage directly affects sleep, adversely affecting next-day alertness and performance.To examine the relationship between alcohol consumption EDS among commercial truck in Japan implications this on public health.All participants cross-sectional study were motor vehicle Tokyo Niigata Prefecture. Participants completed self-administered questionnaire...
An inverse association between total protein intake and blood pressure has been reported in Western countries. Such evidence is limited the Japanese population, however, whose major sources are plants seafood.We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of 986 men 1,636 women, aged 40-74 years, rural community to examine levels urea nitrogen concentrations spot urine.The concentration urine, an indicator that was validated by 24-h excretion dietary research, inversely associated...
Two contrasting perspectives on the effects of multiple roles; 'role overload hypothesis' and enhancement model', have been proposed to predict variations in health. The aim this study was evaluate impact roles all-cause mortality Japan where gender are currently changing.A total 76,758 individuals from Collaborative Cohort Study were followed for an average 15.7 years. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals calculated proportional hazard models estimate risk according (spouse,...
Abstract Background Intrauterine peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) therapy for recurrent implantation failure (RIF) has been reported to improve embryo by acting on the endometrium. However, exact mode of action PBMC endometrium patients with RIF remains unclear. In addition, differences in therapeutic effects and without human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are unknown. Therefore, this study, we investigated changes during phase induced administration efficacy hCG using a mouse model...
Abstract Purpose Cross-sectional studies have shown an association between different coping styles and suicidal behavior. It is unknown whether there any prospective behaviors suicide in the general population. Methods The study population consisted of participants Japanese Public Health Center-based Prospective Study. In 10-year follow-up questionnaire, subjects aged 50–79 years were asked how they handle daily problems. Coping used to determine two strategies (approach avoidance coping)....
【目的・方法】米国疾病予防管理センターは, 血管内留置カテーテル由来の感染予防を目的としてカテーテル挿入前およびドレッシング交換時には0.5%を超える濃度のクロルヘキシジングルコン酸塩含有アルコール製剤 (chlorhexidine alcohol solution: CH-AL) での皮膚消毒を強く推奨しているが, 本邦の血液透析用カテーテルにおけるエビデンスは確立されていない. 血液透析用カテーテル関連感染予防において, 1%CH-ALが10%ポピドンヨード (povidone iodine: PVP-I) よりも有効であるか123患者 (CH-AL群79患者, PVP-I群44患者) を対象に後ろ向きコホート研究にて検証した. 【結果】10%PVP-I群と比較し, 1%CH-AL群において血液透析用カテーテル関連感染症の発症割合 (p=0.033), カプランマイヤー法による累積感染発症率 (Log rank test, p=0.025) が抑制され, 多変量Cox回帰分析においても1%CH-ALが有意な感染発症率抑制因子であった (p=0.046)....
