Abstract The international spread of COVID-19 infection has attracted global attention, but the impact local or domestic travel restriction on public transportation network remains unclear. Passenger volume data for in Japan and time at which first confirmed case was observed each prefecture were extracted from sources. A survival approach a hazard modeled as function closeness centrality utilized to estimate risk importation prefecture. total 46 prefectures with imported cases identified....
Identifying individuals at the highest risk of progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) using clinical and social determinants health (SDoH) measures will help prioritize prevention efforts. We aimed investigate model performance after adding SDoH a previously validated cardiometabolic disease staging prediction model. developed Bayesian predictive data [clinical factors: fasting glucose, blood pressure, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides; individual SDoH:...
The effect of heated tobacco products (HTPs) use and moderate alcohol drinking on immunogenicity to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines remain elusive. This study aimed examine the association product consumption with anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG antibody titers after BNT162b2 vaccine. Participants were 3433 healthcare workers receiving two vaccine doses in 4 national centers for advanced medical research Japan. Smoking status assessed via a questionnaire, measured chemiluminescent enzyme...
To estimate the effect of airline travel restrictions on risk severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) importation.We extracted passenger volume data for entire global network, as well dates implementation and observation first case disease (COVID-19) in each country or territory, from publicly available sources. We calculated effective distance between every airport city Wuhan, China. modelled SARS-CoV-2 importation by estimating survival probability, expressing median...
Abstract Background Evidence has demonstrated that excess sodium intake is associated with development of several non-communicable diseases. The main source salt. Therefore, reducing salt in foods an important global public health effort to achieve reduction and improve health. This study aimed model 'umami' substances among Japanese adults. umami considered this include glutamate or monosodium glutamates (MSG), calcium diglutamate (CDG), inosinate, guanylate. Methods A total 21,805...
Background: Comprehensive risk prediction models utilized at the point of care have potential to improve screening rates, facilitate prevention referrals, and reduce disparities. However, feasibility deploying comprehensive in clinical workflow are largely unknown. Objective: To assess: (1) applying a validated model – cardiometabolic disease staging system (CMDS) - that incorporates metabolic, vascular, social determinants health (SDoH) factors electronic record (EHR) data from primary...
This study aimed to estimate Japan's age-specific history of smoking prevalence, initiation, cessation, and intensity by birth cohort, using data from multiple cohort studies. We pooled eight eligible cohorts surveyed between 1989 2020 as part the National Center Cohort Collaborative for Advancing Population Health (NC-CCAPH). An Age-Period-Cohort model was employed cohort- sex-specific patterns individuals born 1920 1999. Among 393,023 participants (40.9% female, mean age 51.8 years),...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> People with mobility disabilities face significant barriers to engaging in regular physical activity, contributing elevated risks of chronic disease and reduced quality life. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer a promising solution by delivering accessible, home-based exercise programs tailored individual functional needs. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The primary objective was evaluate mobile intervention aimed at increasing activity among...
Abstract Background Low vegetable intake is one of the key dietary risk factors known to be associated with a range health problems, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, and diabetes kidney (DKDs). Using data from Japan’s National Health Nutrition Surveys Global Burden Diseases study in 2017, this aimed forecast impact change on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) between 2017 2040 for three diseases. Methods We generated three-component model cause-specific DALYs, changes...
The aims of this study were to validate the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) in postoperative evaluation periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), identify factors associated with joint awareness after PAO, and determine FJS-12 threshold for patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS).Data from 686 patients (882 hips) hip dysplasia who underwent transposition acetabulum, a type between 1998 2019 reviewed. After screening included 442 (582 hips; response rate, 78%). Patients completed questionnaire...
SUMMARY We investigate how the life satisfaction of migrants is affected by in their background country and new residence. In particular, we contribute to literature differentiating between first‐ second‐generation immigrants types country. Using data from European Social Survey on 30,000 200 countries 32 countries, find that for first‐generation immigrants, effect average strong developed smaller developing zero post‐communist countries. Moreover, residence all groups, indicating while most...
Although alcohol consumption is reported to increase the incidence of breast cancer in European studies, evidence for an association between and Asian populations insufficient. We conducted a pooled analysis eight large-scale population-based prospective cohort studies Japan evaluate (both frequency amount) risk with categorization by menopausal status at baseline diagnosis. Estimated hazard ratios (HR) 95% confidence intervals were calculated individual cohorts combined using random-effects...
Abstract Background Increasing proportions of smokers in Japan smoke &lt;10 cigarettes per day (CPD). Yet, the health risks low-intensity smoking Asia are poorly understood. Methods We performed a pooled analysis 410 294 adults from nine population-based prospective cohort studies participating Cohort Consortium. Cigarette-use data were collected at each study baseline 1983–1994. Study-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause cause-specific mortality...
