Growth charts are essential and universally used for evaluating growth development of children in both clinical settings public health examinations (1, 2). We previously reported the standards Japanese with percentile values based on year 2000 national survey data (3), which were established by lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) method (4). These have been widely mainly examinations. In practices, physicians preferably assess standard deviation (SD) scores, because many feel that percentiles not suitable...
We have presented BMI reference data for Japanese children using the LSM method (1), where L, S and M values were smoothed by one or two segments of polynomial functions with nonsmooth connection, which was barrier adequate evaluation children. So, we cubic spline several knots that are in this report.
Background The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) is a brief, five-item measure for assessing the frequency intensity of depressive symptoms, as well functional impairments in pleasurable activities, work or school, interpersonal relationships due to depression. Although this scale expected be useful various psychiatric mental health settings, reliability, validity, interpretability have not yet been fully examined. This study was designed examine factorial, convergent,...
Skin inflammation leads to altered cytokine/chemokine production and causes systemic inflammation. The mechanism of atopic dermatitis (AD) is recognized affect metabolism. This study aimed examine the relationship between early-onset persistent eczema body weight, height, mass index (BMI), in addition food allergy a birth cohort among infants. design was nationwide, multicenter, prospective study—the Japan Environment Children’s Study (JECS). Generalized linear models were fitted for z...
The purpose of this study was to assess how changes from different baselines activities daily living (ADL) can be explained by marital status, arrangement and healthcare.Using data the Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Study conducted in 2002 2005, 8,099 surviving 3,822 deceased elderly aged 65 years over were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression.After adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic health factors, who either married or alone less likely encounter ADL decline...

Abstract Background Birthweight has been declining consistently for more than 30 years in Japan. This rapid rise low birthweight is one of the worst among countries Organization Economic Co-operation and Development. We examined potential determinants decline Methods used population-based birth certificate data from vital statistics records retrieved 40,968,266 certificates neonates born between 1980 2004. analyzed time trends using linear regression analysis examining whether could be...
Type and volume of infant feeding determines growth, hematological parameters, serum lipids.Study subjects consisted 103 infants who were born vaginally at term, with birthweight >2200 g. Milk amount, type, anthropometry measured 1 6 months. Hematological tests lipid profile assessed Thirty-four breast-fed 36 formula-fed months.Breast-fed demonstrated similar growth patterns compared partially or infants, despite the lower milk intake. Infants higher breast intake months, however, tended to...
A reference range for the birthweight of multiple births neonates is necessary assessment intrauterine growth. Pairs were identified by birthplace, ages parents, gestational age, and year month birth. We studied a total 32,232 livebirth-livebirth pairs twins, 1894 triplet live births, 206 quadruplet births. The median males, taking age into account, was ca. 0.05 kg–0.1 kg heavier than that females. Compared to singleton neonates, twins 0.15 smaller at 34 weeks, increasing 0.5 42 weeks...
BACKGROUND: Great public concern about health effects of dioxins emitted from municipal solid waste incinerators has increased in Japan. This paper investigates the association adverse reproductive outcomes with maternal residential proximity to incinerators.METHODS: The mothers living within 10 km 63 high dioxin emission levels (above 80 ng international toxic equivalents TEQ/m3) Japan was examined. numbers observed cases were compared expected calculated national rates adjusted regionally....
This study aimed to examine the association of fetal growth and elevated third trimester maternal serum folate due folic acid (FA) supplement intake. Dietary intake, use FA supplements, weight, blood biomarkers B-vitamins (serum folate, pyridoxal, vitamin B12, plasma total homocysteine) were observed in 33 healthy pregnant women at (average gestational age 35 wk). Birth outcomes assessed through hospital birth records. Infant anthropometry followed up 1 mo postpartum. Fourteen taking...

Abstract Aim To provide updated growth references for J apanese children from birth to 6 years of age, use in both monitoring and child care. Methods We analysed data two national representative surveys that provided cross‐sectional on 3000 areas the 2005 census longitudinal 136 hospitals. Growth length/height, weight, head circumference chest were constructed using lambda‐mu‐sigma ( LMS ) method, with estimates L , M S parameters. These values then compared published by W orld H ealth O...
Abstract Our aim was to evaluate the association between ritodrine and magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) occurrence of neonatal hyperkalemia or hypoglycemia among late preterm infants in a retrospective cohort study. We used nationwide obstetrical database from 2014. A total 4,622 live born at 32–36 gestational weeks participated. Fourteen risk factors based on both clinical relevance univariate analysis were adjusted multivariable logistic regression analyses. Neonatal occurred 7.6% (284/3,732)...
