Stroke incidence and case fatality in Shiga, Japan 1989-1993Y Kita
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Seta, Otsu, Japan
Int J Epidemiol 28:1059-65. 1999..This paper describes incidence rates and case-fatality for sub-types of stroke using data collected in Takashima, Shiga, Japan, from 1989 to 1993 and compares these with similar registers in other parts of Japan...
Morning surge in circadian periodicity of ischaemic stroke is independent of conventional risk factor status: findings from the Takashima Stroke Registry 1990-2003T C Turin
Shiga University of Medical Science, Shiga, Japan
Eur J Neurol 16:843-51. 2009..We examined the circadian periodicity of ischaemic stroke (IS) onset and its relationship with conventional risk factors using 14-year stroke registration data...- Is there any circadian variation consequence on acute case fatality of stroke? Takashima Stroke Registry, Japan (1990-2003)T C Turin
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Shiga, Japan
Acta Neurol Scand 125:206-12. 2012..However, it is unclear whether this variation affects the acute stroke case fatality. Time of the day variation in stroke case fatality was examined using population-based stroke registration data... - Different effects of blood pressure on mortality from stroke subtypes depending on BMI levels: a 19-year cohort study in the Japanese general population--NIPPON DATA80N Miyamatsu
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Otsu, Japan
J Hum Hypertens 19:285-91. 2005..The effects of diastolic blood pressure on intracerebral haemorrhage and infarction had the same tendency as those of SBP. These results suggested that the causal effect of blood pressure on stroke subtypes might be modified by BMI... - Relationship of elevated casual blood glucose level with coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in a representative sample of the Japanese population. NIPPON DATA80S Kadowaki
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Seta tsukinowa cho, Otsu 520 2192, Japan
Diabetologia 51:575-82. 2008..Thus, we examined a representative cohort of the Japanese population (n=9,444, follow-up period 17.3 years) to clarify whether high casual blood glucose (CBG) can predict CVD mortality... - [Estimated relative and absolute risk for cardiovascular disease according to alcohol consumption increase in Japanese general population]T Okamura
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Setatsukinowa-cho, Otsu 520-2192, Japan
Nihon Arukoru Yakubutsu Igakkai Zasshi 36:586-95. 2001..The absolute risk of cardiovascular disease may be unchanged if we assume 23 g increment of ethanol intake in Japan because the risk reduction in coronary heart disease was nearly equal to the risk increment in stroke... 
Are comprehensive environmental changes as effective as health education for smoking cessation?T Kadowaki
Shiga University of Medical Science, Otsu, Shiga, 520 2192, Japan
Tob Control 15:26-9. 2006..To compare the effectiveness of health education on smoking cessation for all smokers regardless of their willingness to quit smoking and cumulative environmental changes including designation of smoking places, legislation, and price rise...- Trend of stroke incidence in a Japanese population: Takashima stroke registry, 1990-2001Y Kita
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Shiga, Japan
Int J Stroke 4:241-9. 2009..The recent unfavourably diverging trends in risk factors make it uncertain whether the decline will continue. Few comprehensive stroke registries of long research duration exist in Japan to illustrate the trends in stroke incidence... - What factors are associated with high plasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels in a general Japanese population?H Kanda
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Shiga, Japan
J Hum Hypertens 19:165-72. 2005..Plasma BNP levels were inversely associated with blood haemoglobin levels. Gender-specific analysis showed similar results. However, plasma BNP did not correlate with other cardiovascular risk factors such as serum lipids... - Informed consent, participation in, and withdrawal from a population based cohort study involving genetic analysisK Matsui
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Tsukinowa cho, Seta, Otsu, Shiga, 520 2192, Japan
J Med Ethics 31:385-92. 2005.... - Japanese men have larger areas of visceral adipose tissue than Caucasian men in the same levels of waist circumference in a population-based studyT Kadowaki
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Shiga, Japan
Int J Obes (Lond) 30:1163-5. 2006..The Japanese men had a larger VAT and VSR in each stratum, despite substantially less obesity overall. In multiethnic studies, difference in abdominal fat distribution should be considered in exploring factors related to obesity... - What cause of mortality can we predict by cholesterol screening in the Japanese general population?T Okamura
Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science, Seta tsukinowa cho, Otsu City, Shiga 520 2192, Japan
J Intern Med 253:169-80. 2003..In a population with a markedly lower coronary mortality such as in Japan, the benefit of cholesterol screening may be different from Western populations. We attempted to assess the importance of cholesterol screening in Japan...
