The present study examined the effect of youth-led interventions on self-rated health (SRH) and happiness among community adults in Sri Lanka. Methods: This cluster-randomized controlled trial study was conducted in a semi-urban area of Colombo in Sri Lanka. Out of 68 Grama Niladari (GN) divisions in the selected Divisional Secretariat, 24 GN (int…
The association of coffee consumption with prediabetes, diabetes, and markers of glucose metabolism in rural Vietnam
The present study among rural residents in Vietnam did not find clear associations of coffee consumption with prediabetes, diabetes, or markers of glucose metabolism, including the effects of coffee with additives, underscoring the complexity of these associations and the need for further research to confirm the findings in rural Vietnam
Association between physical multimorbidity in middle adulthood and mortality
Physical multimorbidity in middle adulthood is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in Japan
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the incidence of cardiometabolic risk factors among workers
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions on human activities have greatly changed lifestyles, which might have deteriorated the cardiometabolic profile. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of cardiometabolic risk factors among Japanese workers in fiscal years (FY) 2020 and 2021 compared with the prepandemic period. METHOD: This study comprised an average of 71 025 employ…
Comparison of waist circumference and waist‐to‐height ratio as predictors of clustering of cardiovascular risk factors among middle‐aged people in rural Khanh Hoa, Vietnam
OBJECTIVE: Given the population-level variation in stature, a universal cut-off for waist circumference (WC) may not be appropriate for some populations. We compared the performance of WC and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) to detect the clustering of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in rural Vietnam. METHODS: We obtained data from a baseline survey of the Khanh Hoa Cardiovascular Study comprising 2942 middle-aged residents (40-60 years). W…
Parental absence during childhood and weight status in adulthood among middle‐aged community dwellers in rural Vietnam
Objectives While adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been shown to be associated with adulthood obesity, less is known about their association with underweight. We examined the associations between parental absence (i.e., a major component of ACEs) and both underweight and excess weight among middle‐aged rural community dwellers in Vietnam, where experiences of parental absence was not uncommon during and after the Vietnam War (1955–1975). …
Different associations of occupational and leisure-time physical activity with the prevalence of hypertension among middle-aged community dwellers in rural Khánh Hòa, Vietnam
In contrast to previous studies in high-income countries, we found that leisure-time PA was positively associated with hypertension prevalence and occupational PA was associated with a lower hypertension prevalence. This suggests that the association between PA and hypertension might differ depending on the context
Eating speed and abdominal adiposity in middle-aged adults
A faster eating speed was associated with a higher prevalence of abdominal obesity in a middle-aged population in rural Vietnam
The association between living alone and depressive symptoms and the role of pet ownership among Japanese workers
Living alone was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms. The association was rather stronger among individuals with vs. without pets. Pet ownership may not be associated with decreased depressive symptoms
Red meat consumption is associated with prediabetes and diabetes in rural Vietnam
Objective: To examine the association between red/processed meat consumption and glycaemic conditions (i.e. prediabetes (preDM) and diabetes mellitus (DM)) among middle-aged residents in rural Khánh Hòa, Vietnam. Design: In this cross-sectional study, a multinomial logistic regression model was used to examine the association between daily consumption of red/processed meat (0–99 g, 100–199 g or ≥ 200 g) and preDM/DM with adjustments for socio-dem…
A preliminary analysis of the secondary sex ratio decline after the Covid ‐19 pandemic in Japan
OBJECTIVES: The secondary sex ratio (SSR, i.e., the number of male births per 100 female births) has long been proposed as a sentinel health indicator. Studies have suggested that exogenous environmental stressors reduce SSR after 3 to 6 months (via disproportionate male fetus deaths) and after 9 months (via reduced male conception). We aimed to examine whether SSR declined after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Japan. METHODS:…
Emotional Exhaustion of Burnout Among Medical Staff and Its Association With Mindfulness and Social Support
We found that factors associated with emotional exhaustion differed by exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Building mindfulness skills can help reduce the high burden placed on the staff. Additionally, increasing social support may be useful especially for workers highly exposed to SARS-CoV-2
Nightly fasting duration is not associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among non‐shift workers
OBJECTIVES: While several experimental studies in animals and humans have suggested the protective effect of nightly fasting duration (NFD) against cardiometabolic risk factors, few population-based studies have been conducted. This study aimed to investigate the association between NFD and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Japanese non-shift workers. METHODS: A subset of 1054 non-shift workers from the Furukawa Nutrition and Health Study were incl…
Recurrent sick leave and resignation rates among female cancer survivors after return to work
Sixty percent of female cancer survivors were still working at 5 years after returning to work, although the work continuance rates for different types of cancer varied significantly
The effect of youths as change agents on cardiovascular disease risk factors among adult neighbours
It was highlighted that in the original article [1] the selection process was not described clearly enough to avoid confusion under the heading of the Target of Outcomes in the Methods section
Optimal waist circumference cut-off points and ability of different metabolic syndrome criteria for predicting diabetes in Japanese men and women
Data from the present large cohort of workers suggest that WC cut-offs of 85 cm for men and 80 cm for women may be appropriate for predicting DM for Japanese. The JIS criteria can detect more people who later develop DM than does the JCCMS criteria
Leisure-time, occupational, and commuting physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes in Japanese workers
The results suggest that vigorous-intensity exercise can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes among Japanese workers
Green tea and coffee consumption is inversely associated with depressive symptoms in a Japanese working population
Objective To examine the association between the consumption of green tea, coffee and caffeine and depressive symptoms. Design Cross-sectional study. Consumption of green tea and coffee was ascertained with a validated dietary questionnaire and the amount of caffeine intake was estimated from these beverages. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Multiple logistic regression analysis was pe…
Impact of alcohol intake on total mortality and mortality from major causes in Japan
OBJECTIVES: Using common alcohol consumption categories, to conduct a pooled analysis of six ongoing large-scale cohort studies in Japan in order to produce concrete estimates of the quantitative contribution of alcohol consumption to all-cause and major causes of mortality in the Japanese population. METHODS: Of the 309 082 subjects, there were 35 801 deaths during 3 832 285 person-years of follow-up. Using a random-effect model, we conducted a …

Association of weight change in different periods of adulthood with risk of type 2 diabetes in Japanese men and women
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the impact of weight change in different periods of lifetime on type 2 diabetes risk, and the association of weight loss with type 2 diabetes is unclear. We prospectively investigated the association of weight change since age 20 y and that during middle-to-late adulthood with the incidence of type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Subjects were 52,014 men and women aged 45-75 y who participated in the Japan Public Health…
P2-277 Alcohol drinking and primary liver cancer in Japanese
Introduction Because studies of the association between alcohol intake and the risk of primary liver cancer use varying cut-off points to classify alcohol intake, it is difficult to precisely quantify this association by meta-analysis of published data. Furthermore, there are limited data for women in prospective studies of the dose-specific relation of alcohol intake and the risk of primary liver cancer. Methods We analysed original data from fo…
Fish intake and the risk of fatal prostate cancer
Objective We investigated the relationship between the intake of fish and the risk of death from prostate cancer. Design Data were derived from a prospective cohort study in Japan. Fish consumption obtained from a baseline questionnaire was classified into the two categories of ‘low intake’ and ‘high intake’. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals. Subjects Data for 5589 men aged 3…
Marital status and mortality among Japanese men and women
Single status was associated with a higher risk of mortality than was married status for both men and women. Divorce and widowhood were associated with elevated risk for men, but not for women. These findings suggest single, divorce and widowhood status constitute potentially adverse health effects

Positive and Negative Affect in the Factor Structure of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Japanese Workers
The factor structure of Form Y of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y) was examined with 1,862 Japanese adult workers (1,509 men, 353 women). The initial principal component analysis extracted three factors based on the scree test. All 20 state (S-Anxiety) and 20 trait (T-Anxiety) items had dominant salient loadings on the first factor, which reflected "over-all anxiety." The three factors identified by an oblique (promax) rotation were lab…
Impact of workplace smoking restrictions on smoking behaviour and attitudes toward quitting in Japan
Editor,—Smoke free workplaces have been found to reduce cigarette consumption among smokers1-4 and smoking prevalence.1 4 5 In countries with a high smoking prevalence such as Japan (men, 55%),6 a total ban is unusual but policies such as limiting smoking to designated smoking areas are common.7 However, the impact of such restrictions on smoking has been weak.4 8 9 Furthermore, evidence linking restrictive policies to smoker motivation to quit i…
