  • Food group intakes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein among community-dwelling Japanese adults

    Open AccessTakashi Matsunaga, Kenji Wakai et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2024

    Objective: Healthy dietary patterns have been linked to lower levels of chronic inflammation. The present study aimed to investigate the associations between food group intakes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) among community-dwelling adults. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Three areas in Japan (Shiga, Fukuoka, or Kyushu and Okinawa). Participants: The present analysis included 13 648 participants (5126 males and 8522 females; ag…

  • Association between consumption of small fish and all-cause mortality among Japanese

    Open AccessChinatsu Kasahara, Takashi Tamura et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2024

    Objective: Although small fish are an important source of micronutrients, the relationship between their intake and mortality remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association between intake of small fish and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Design: We used the data from a cohort study in Japan. The frequency of the intake of small fish was assessed using a validated FFQ. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) f…

  • Anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody status is associated with cancer mortality

    Open AccessSatoshi S Nishizuka, Masahiro Nakatochi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Paradoxically, patients with advanced stomach cancer who are Helicobacter pylori -positive (HP + ) have a higher survival rate than those who are HP - . This finding suggests that HP infection has beneficial effects for cancer treatment. The present study examines whether HP + individuals have a lower likelihood of death from cancer than those who are HP - . Prospective cohort data ( n = 4,982 subjects enrolled in the DAIKO study between 2008–201…

  • The association between self-rated health and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level

    Open AccessTakashi Tamura, Mariko Naito et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    The present study demonstrated that poor SRH is cross-sectionally associated with higher serum hsCRP level. However, the longitudinal data did not support the relationship between serum hsCRP level at baseline and future SRH. Further longitudinal studies that include data on mortality and multiple inflammatory markers are warranted to elucidate the possible role of low-grade inflammation in the association between SRH and mortality risk
