<h3>Importance</h3> The optimal management for acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether early surgical decompression results in better motor recovery than delayed treatment patients with incomplete SCI associated preexisting canal stenosis but without bone injury. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This multicenter randomized clinical trial was conducted 43 tertiary referral centers Japan from December 2011 through November...
We evaluated the role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-related chronic gastritis in development osteoporosis a population-based study. A total 1690 subjects cohort Research on Osteoarthritis/ Against Disability (ROAD) were investigated, and association between was by presence serologically assessed H. pylori-related its stage, based antibody titer pepsinogen. The associated with significantly lower bone mineral density (BMD) dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry significant risk BMD observed...
This study aims to investigate the impact of aging on brain volume among community residents in Japan, focusing trends over time and specific structures. We analyzed data from fourth survey (2015-2016) Research Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis Against Disability project, encompassing 2146 Japan's mountainous coastal regions. A total 1755 participants (81.8% baseline population) underwent extensive collection including lifestyle health questionnaires, anthropometric measurements magnetic resonance...
Background/Objectives: As a result of aging societies, the increasing number older adults requiring nursing care has become serious issue and extension healthy life expectancy an urgent priority. Ergothioneine (EGT) is sulfur-containing amino acid found in foods such as mushrooms. Low EGT blood concentrations have been reported to be associated with risk onset progression various diseases. However, distribution their association dietary habits Japanese general population remains unclear....
Dietary habits are of considerable interest as a modifiable factor for the maintenance muscle health, especially sarcopenia. The present study aimed to investigate association between dietary intake and sarcopenia prevalence in community-dwelling Japanese subjects. This cross-sectional was conducted using data from fifth survey Research on Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis against Disability (ROAD) study, 1345 participants (437 men 908 women) aged ≥60 years were included analysis. Sarcopenia...
There has been a paucity of literature revealing the discrepancy between self-recognition about hallux valgus (HV) and radiographically-evaluated foot configuration. Knowing this will help to make comparative review findings previous literatures epidemiological studies prevalence HV.(1) Is there radiographically-assessed self-recognized HV in general population? (2) What factors affect population?The fifth survey Research on Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis against Disability study involved 1996...
The incidence and risk factors for the progression of ossification posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) have been previously reported in surgically nonsurgically treated symptomatic patients. However, correlates OPLL asymptomatic subjects with are not well characterized. This study aimed to clarify based on whole-body CT.
The demand for surgical correction in elderly patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) has recently increased the growth of aging population. Age-related changes spinopelvic sagittal alignment have been reported; thus, realignment should consider age-related changes. This study aimed to investigate relationship between age-specific radiographic parameters and low back pain (LBP) support establishment targets ASD.A population-based cohort consisting 1461 subjects (466 men 995 women) was...
Aim To identify factors associated with locomotive syndrome (LS) using medical questionnaire data and machine learning. Methods A total of 1575 participants underwent the LS risk tests from third survey research on osteoarthritis/osteoporosis against disability study (ROAD) study. was defined as stage 1 or higher based clinical decision limits Japanese Orthopaedic Association. 1335 items came this The number reduced to 331 in cleaning. From items, use by light gradient boosting machine‐based...
Few large population-based studies have examined the prevalence of atrophic gastritis (AG) and Helicobacter pylori infection in Japan. The purpose present study was to estimate AG H. by age, addition investigating their change rates from 2005 2016 Japan using data a cohort. A total 3,596 participants [1,690 baseline survey (2005-2006) 1,906 at fourth (2015-2016)] aged 18 97 years were included based on serological tests for antibody titer pepsinogen levels. 40.1% (men, 44.1%; women, 38.0%)...
