Genes That Extend Lifespan May Do So by Mitigating the Increased Risk of Death Posed by Having Hypertension
Am J Hypertens. 2023 Aug 10:hpad070. doi: 10.1093/ajh/hpad070. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGenetic factors influence lifespan. In humans, there appears to be a particularly strong genetic effect in those aged ≥ 90 years. An important contribution is nutrient sensing genes which confer cell resilience. Our research has been investigating the genetic factors by longitudinal studies of American men of Japanese descent living on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. This cohort began as the Honolulu Heart Program in the mid-1960s and most subjects are now deceased. We previously discovered various genes containing polymorphisms as...

EPH214 The Effect of Exercise Habits on Reducing Medical Costs in Residents in a Japanese Rural Area
The Center of Healthy Aging program (CHAP) to raise health awareness in a rural population reduced the risk of coronary heart diseases (CHDs) and stroke and then medical costs in the long-term in a Japanese rural area, Hirosaki city. The aim of this study was to assess the association of daily habits with the reduction of medical and care costs in addition to the participation of the CHAP.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 gene ( < em > FLT1 < /em > ) longevity variant increases lifespan by reducing mortality risk posed by hypertension
In conclusion, the longevity-associated genotype of FLT1 may confer increased lifespan by protecting against mortality risk posed by hypertension. We suggest that FLT1 expression in individuals with longevity genotype boosts vascular endothelial resilience mechanisms to counteract hypertension-related stress in vital organs and tissues.PMID:37178326 | DOI:10.18632/aging.204722

Nocturnal Intermittent Hypoxia and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease among Japanese Populations: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (CIRCS)
CONCLUSIONS: Nocturnal intermittent hypoxia may increase the risk of developing lacunar infarction and CHD among community-dwelling Japanese populations. However, we could not find a significant risk of developing total stroke or stroke subtypes such as intraparenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and total ischemic stroke.PMID:36642535 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63754

Breakfast Type and Cardiovascular Mortality: The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Compared to Japanese breakfast, mixed Japanese-Western breakfast may have a protective role in cardiovascular mortality whereas skipping breakfast may harm cardiovascular health.PMID:36543187 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63564

Reduction in medical costs for cardiovascular diseases through innovative health awareness projects in a rural area in Japan
by Ayako Shoji, Kennichi Kudo, Koichi Murashita, Shigeyuki Nakaji, Ataru Igarashi
To promote health awareness and improve life expectancy in Hirosaki, a Japanese rural area, the Center of Healthy Aging Program (CHAP) was founded in 2013. The most important characteristic of CHAP is a personalized interview just after the checkup to discuss individual results. We evaluated the c linical and economic effects of CHAP by analyzing the cohort data of voluntary participants from annual health checkups since 2005 in the Iwaki district of Hirosaki. We calculated 10-year incidence risk scores for coronary heart diseases (CHDs) and...

Risk of cardiovascular events leading to hospitalisation after Streptococcus pneumoniae infection: a retrospective cohort LIFE Study
Conclusions
S. pneumoniae infections elevate the risk of subsequent stroke and AF occurrence. These findings indicate that pneumococcal infections have short-term effects on patients’ health and increase their midterm to long-term susceptibility to serious cardiovascular events.

Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Childhood and Mortality from Coronary Heart Disease in Adulthood: the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Risk
CONCLUSIONS: Secondhand smoke exposure in childhood was associated with an increased risk of CHD mortality in adulthood, primarily in middle-aged men and non-current smokers.PMID:36261366 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63857
