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 …
A prospective cohort study of neighborhood stress and ischemic heart disease in Japan: A multilevel analysis using the Jacc study data
Area-level stress affects the likelihood of death due to ischemic heart disease of individuals in men. The present findings may suggest that stress should be considered not only within the individual but also within the neighborhood context
P1-347 Physical activity and all-cause mortality: Findings from the Japan collaborative cohort study
Purpose To examine prospectively the association between physical activity and risk of all-cause death in Japanese population. Methods We analysed data from the Japan Collaborative Cohort (JACC) Study, which included 70 048 participants (29 550 men and 40 498 women), aged 40–79 years at baseline (1988–1990), who reported no previous history of cancer, and provided information on their walking and exercise habits. The subjects were followed prospe…
O2-4.2 Is the impact of health lifestyle behaviours on cardiovascular mortality modified by parental history of cardiovascular disease
Introduction We examined whether the association between lifestyle behaviours and cardiovascular disease mortality is modified by parental history of CVD. Methods The survey cohort was a total of 52 606 subjects (22 278 men and 30 328 women) aged 40–79 years from 1988 to 1990 were followed-up until the end of 2006.

P1-351 Effect of coffee consumption on all-cause and total cancer mortality: Findings from the Jacc study
Coffee consumption is known to be related to various health conditions. Recently, its antioxidant effects have been suggested to be associated with all-cause or cancer mortality by various cohort studies. However, there has been only one small Asian cohort study that has assessed this association. Thus, we tried to assess the association of coffee with all-cause and total cancer mortality by conducting a large-scale cohort study in Japan. A total…
P2-226 Fish, vegetable, and fruit intakes and mortality from pulmonary embolism among Japanese men and women: The Jacc (Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Risk) study
Introduction Numerous studies have reported associations of cardiovascular risk factors with pulmonary embolism (PE), but an association of dietary factors with the risk of PE is not fully established. Methods Using a prospective design, we studied the 14.7-year risk of PE death in relation to dietary factors, such as fish, vegetable, and fruit intakes, in 91 280 men and women aged 40–79 years in Japan. The HRs of PE death and 95% CIs were calcul…
P2-277 Alcohol drinking and primary liver cancer in Japanese: A pooled analysis of four cohort studies
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…
