Epidemiological trends and spatiotemporal distribution of syphilis in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, 2014–2023
Introduction: Syphilis incidence has increased sharply in high-income countries since 2012, including Japan. Nagasaki Prefecture has not previously been subject to detailed epidemiological analysis of syphilis. This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological trends, demographic characteristics, and spatiotemporal distribution of syphilis in Nagasaki Prefecture from 2014 to 2023. Methods: A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted usin…
Association between fat mass by bioelectrical impedance analysis and bone mass by quantitative ultrasound in relation to grip strength and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in postmenopausal Japanese women
Background Whether fat mass or lean mass affects bone mass in postmenopausal women is controversial. This study aimed to explore the association between body composition measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and bone mass measured by quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in postmenopausal women in Japan. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study, The Unzen Study, on 382 community-dwelling postmenopausal Japanese women (mean (standard devi…
Relationship between bone turnover markers and the heel stiffness index measured by quantitative ultrasound in post-menopausal Japanese women
Background: Osteoporosis in women is a serious health problem. The relationships between biochemical markers of bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) in women have been reported, but no study has examined relationships between tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b) or bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and bone mass measured by quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in Japanese post-menopausal women. Aim: To investigate the serum T…
Allostatic load differs by sex and diet, but not age in older Japanese from the Goto Islands
Among older Japanese residing outside a major urban area, AL varies significantly by sex, but not age, while being associated with dietary choices. Although lack of association with life ways was not expected, AL apparently assesses physiological dysregulation cross-culturally
Association between alkaline phosphatase and hypertension in a rural Japanese population
BACKGROUND: Although serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels have been associated with hypertension, and ALP is known as an enzyme affected by alcohol consumption, no study has been published on the associations between ALP and the risk of hypertension in relation to drinking status. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 2,681 participants (837 men and 1,846 women) aged 30 to 89 years undergoing a general health check-up to investigate…
A pilot study of allostatic load among elderly Japanese living on Hizen-Oshima Island
BACKGROUND: Between July and September 2005, a preliminary sampling of the elderly population of Hizen-Oshima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan was conducted by the local hospital's nursing staff. RESULTS: Reported here are preliminary results from this sample of 27 individuals with an average age of 71 years. Their ages ranged from 51 to 82 years, with a standard deviation (sd) of 7.4 years. In total, 33 aspects of physical and physiological va…
Fat-free Mass and Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption in the 40 Minutes after Short-duration Exhaustive Exercise in Young Male Japanese Athletes
The relationship between fat-free mass (FFM) and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) has not been well researched because of the relatively small number of subjects studied. This study investigated the effects of FFM on EPOC and EPOC/maximum oxygen consumption. 250 Japanese male athletes between 16 and 21 years old from Nagasaki prefecture had their EPOC measured up to 40 minutes after short-duration exhaustive exercise. The value was …
The Influence of Visual Display Terminal Use on the Physical and Mental Conditions of Administrative Staff in Japan
Visual display terminals (VDT) are standard equipment for many office workers. Their use, however, may increase the risk of developing adverse conditions related to vision, the musculoskeletal system, and mental health. We carried out a survey among 3070 workers aged 18 to 67 years (mean, 39.9 years) at a prefectural administrative office, in which 76% of subjects were visual display terminal (VDT) users. We examined the relationship between dura…
Physique, Body Composition and Maximum Oxygen Consumption of Selected Soccer Players of Kunimi High School, Nagasaki, Japan
This study evaluates the physical and physiological ability of selected soccer players of Kunimi High School in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The Kunimi team is famous for its intensive training, and had won the championship of the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament six times by 2003. We measured physique, body composition, and maximal oxygen uptake of 72 members aged between 16 and 18 years old between 1986 and 1994. They consisted of 66 outf…
Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Men and Women Aged 40 Years and Older in a Rural Area of Japan
Obesity is one of the most common health problems, and is recognized worldwide as an "escalating epidemic." For the establishment of an obesity-prevention strategy in Japan, it is important to assess the association between obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, we conducted anthropometric measures of obesity and investigated the association of obesity with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia …
Comparison of body size and composition between young adult Japanese-Americans and Japanese nationals in the 1980s
Although young adult Japanese-Americans showed larger body size than Japanese nationals, their percentage fat did not differ at this stage of life in the 1980s
Age‐related pattern of body density and body composition in Japanese males and females, 11 and 18 years of age
The age‐related pattern of body density and body composition in Japanese males ( n = 266) and females ( n = 318), 11.00 to 18.99 years of age was studied. Body density (BD) as well as height, body weight, and seven skinfold thicknesses were measured. Percentage fat (%Fat) was calculated using the age‐ and sex‐specific equation of Lohman. Fat mass (FM), fat‐free mass (FFM), and the body mass index (BMI) were calculated. The trend for BD in males w…
Age‐related pattern of body density and body composition of Japanese men and women 18–59 years of age
Age‐related patterns of body size and composition were studied in a cross‐sectional sample of Japanese adults 18–59 years of age. Height, weight, the body mass index (BMI), body density (BD), percentage body fat (%Fat), fat mass (FM), fat‐free mass (FFM), and the sum of seven skinfold thicknesses (SF) of 288 men and 552 women were considered. Body density was measured by underwater weighing densitometry. Mean values of height, weight, BMI, BD, %F…
Urinary sodium/potassium ratio and prevalence of hypertension in two communities of different historical origin in Ohshima Island, Nagasaki, Japan
Urinary Na/K ratios and prevalence of hypertension were compared in two communities on the Ohshima Island, Nagasaki, Japan. The western area consisted of agricultural‐fishery community while the eastern area was a migrant/ex‐mining community. A subsistence agricultural‐fishery lifestyle was still seen in parts of the western community, while people of the eastern area were mostly consumers of purchased food. Urinary Na/K ratio was higher in the e…
