Only a few studies have focused on the relationship between vitamin intake and depressive symptoms in Japanese individuals. This cross-sectional study investigated 1634 elderly individuals (65 years older). The consumption of fifteen vitamins including retinol, retinol equivalent, beta-carotene D, alpha-tocopherol, K, group B, C, cryptoxanthine was analyzed using brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ). short version Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) used to assess...
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship mineral intake, including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and manganese, with depressive symptoms in both genders Japanese elderly population. A total 1423 participants who were older than 65 years old recruited study. Mineral intake analyzed using a validated brief self-administered diet history questionnaire. Depressive assessed short version Geriatric Depression Scale. logistic...
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)...
n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been shown to preventive effects against depression. In this study, we aimed investigate the associations between intake of PUFAs and depression among people according sex weight status. We utilized cross-sectional data from Shika study in Japan. The was conducted 2013 2016. Data were collected adults older than 65 years. Invitation letters distributed 2677 individuals, 2470 whom participated (92.3%). assessed depressive states using Japanese...
The relationship between dietary n-6 fatty acids and hypertension is not clear. metabolic products of include those that control blood pressure, such as prostaglandin thromboxane, differ depending on the extent glucose tolerance. This cross-sectional study investigated association acid intake hypertension, effects glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value in 633 Japanese subjects aged 40 years older. Dietary was measured using a validated brief self-administered diet history questionnaire. We...
The relationship among dietary calcium, hypertension and vitamin D status currently remains unclear. This population-based cross-sectional study examined the association between calcium intake influence of serum concentrations 25-hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D] in Japanese subjects. A total 619 subjects aged from 40 years were recruited. Dietary was measured using a validated brief self-administered diet history questionnaire. Hypertension defined as use antihypertensive medication or blood...
Increased food selectivity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may lead to nutritional inadequacy. The present study examined differences in nutrient intake between and adolescents without ASD. We utilized cross-sectional data from the ongoing population Shika Town rural Japanese study. participants were 1276 pupils students aged 7 15 years. ASD traits evaluated using Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ). Nutrient was assessed a frequency questionnaire. A one-way...
Abstract Background Food allergy (FA) is a common disease in children, and its prevalence has increased developed countries. The impact of overweight on children health also becomes an important social problem. However, the relationship between FA still unclear. We examined association among Japanese children. Methods analyzed data obtained using self-administered questionnaire from 1772 Weight groups according to body mass index cutoff points proposed by International Obesity Task Force...
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....
Study objectives Although associations between sleep quality and environmental factors nutrient intake have been reported, interactions these not elucidated in detail. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined the effects of regular exercise on using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which is most frequently used index for evaluation. Methods The participants included 378 individuals aged 40 years or older living Shika Town, Ishikawa Prefecture. Of individuals, 185 met inclusion...
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...
Biocatalyst immobilization carrier was coated with calcium alginate gel by a two-step preparation procedure for prevention of leakage the biocatalyst from carrier. A uniform coating film could be formed around not only get beads but also chitosan beads. The thickness increased decreasing sodium concentration and stirring rate, increasing ion diameter core bead. volume shown to proportional mass initially contained in It found that controlled adjusting
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),...
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...
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) exert their antidiabetic effects by promoting urinary glucose excretion. Nutrition therapy is obviously important, but little known about the interactions between SGLT2i agents and carbohydrate restriction. Therefore, we studied these using an obese diabetic animal model. KK-Ay mice were pair-fed normal chow [NC; carbohydrate: fat: protein = 65:15:20], low [LC; 43:42:15] or severely restricted diets [SR; 12:45:43] for 12 weeks. Tofogliflozin...
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,...
