Validity of the intake of sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids estimated using a self-administered food frequency questionnaire in middle-aged and elderly Japanese: the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT) Protocol Area
CONCLUSIONS: The long-FFQ provided reasonable validity in estimating the intakes of sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids in middle-aged and elderly Japanese. Although caution is warranted for some nutrients, these results may be used in future epidemiological studies.PMID:38191182 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230132 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

The Quartile Levels of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone by Newborn Screening Stratified Risks of Neurodevelopmental Impairment in Extremely Preterm Infants - A Population Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Extremely preterm infants persistently in the lowest-quartile TSH level at birth and at discharge had the highest NDI risk. TSH quartile levels by NBS may serve as a population surrogate biomarker for assessing NDI risks in infants born extremely preterm.PMID:38191177 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230253 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Study Profile of the Tsuruoka Metabolomics Cohort Study (TMCS)
This study aimed to enhance the precision prevention of multi-factorial, complex diseases, including non-communicable and aging-associated diseases, by improving risk stratification and prediction measures. At baseline, 11,002 participants aged 35-74 years were recruited in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, between 2012 and 2015, with an ongoing follow-up survey. Participants underwent various measurements, examinations, tests, and questionnaires on their health, lifestyle, and social factors. This study used an integrative approach with deep molecular profiling to identify potential biomarkers linked to phenotype...

Associations of individual characteristics and socioeconomic status with heated tobacco product harmfulness perceptions in Japan: A nationwide cross-sectional study (INFORM Study 2020)
ConclusionsThis study showed that, among non-tobacco users, being male, aged under 39 years, and lower education were associated with a perception of HTPs as less harmful. Public health stakeholders should provide the latest evidence about HTP harmfulness in their daily practice, and strengthen the regulations on HTP marketing directed at both tobacco- and non-tobacco users.PMID:38191179 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230177 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Validity of self-reported Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment from questionnaire and interview surveys of the JPHC-NEXT study: comparison with prescription history from insurance claims data
CONCLUSION: Both the questionnaire and the interview showed high sensitivity, high specificity, and good agreement with the insurance claim prescriptions data. Some participants may have received eradication treatment without going through the public insurance claim database, resulting in a low positive predictive value.PMID:38191180 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230168 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

A Century of Change: Unraveling the Impact of Socioeconomic/Historical Milestones on Age at Menarche and Other Female Reproductive Factors in Japan
CONCLUSION: Age at menarche showed a long-term downward trend in Japan, with significant change points in annual percent change. Other factors showed secular changes in trends as well. These change points were observed at the same time as historical events, namely wars and economic development, suggesting that socioeconomic and environmental changes at the population level affect reproductive factors in females.PMID:38191181 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230155 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Epidemiological analysis of Legionella pneumonia in Japan: A national inpatient database study
CONCLUSIONS: The characterized epidemiology of Legionella pneumonia in Japan revealed a high mortality rate of 6.4%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate a higher mortality rate in winter and in patients with congestive heart failure and metastasis. Further research is needed to understand the complex interplay between the prognostic factors of Legionella pneumonia.PMID:38105002 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230178 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)
