Abstract
BACKGROUND Improving diets requires an awareness of the need to limit foods for which excessive consumption is a health problem. Since there are limited reports on the link between this awareness and mortality risk, we examined the association between awareness of limiting food intake (energy, fat, and sweets) and all-cause mortality in a Japanese cohort study. METHODS Participants comprised 58,772 residents (27,294 men; 31,478 women) aged 35-69 years who completed baseline surveys of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study from 2004 to 2014. Hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by sex using a Cox proportional hazard model, with adjustment for related factors. Mediation analysis with fat intake as a mediator was also conducted. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 11 years, and 2,516 people died. Estimated energy and fat intakes according to the Food Frequency Questionnaire were lower in those with awareness of limiting food intake than in those without this awareness. Women with awareness of limiting fat intake showed a significant decrease in mortality risk (HR 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.94). Mediation analysis revealed that this association was due to the direct effect of the awareness of limiting fat intake and that the total effect was not mediated by actual fat intake. Awareness of limiting energy or sweets intake was not related to mortality risk reduction. CONCLUSION Awareness of limiting food intake had a limited effect on reducing all-cause mortality risk.

A community-based prospective cohort study in Changhua, Taiwan. Prev Med 2024; 180:107860. [PMID: 38244932 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2024.107860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exercise improves health, but illnesses can cause changes in exercise behavior, including starting or stopping. This study investigated the effects of chronic disease screening on inactive individuals' exercise behavior and analyzed the impact of age and chronic disease history on this relationship using stratified analysis. METHODS Using a community-based prospective observational cohort design and data from the Changhua Community-Based Integrated Screening (CHCIS) dataset from 2005 to 2020, we examined 12,038 people who were screened at least twice and self-reported having never exercised at their first screening. Changes in exercise behavior were classified as "initiating exercise" and "remaining inactive." We obtained chronic disease screening results from CHCIS records, which included measurements of waist circumference, blood glucose, blood pressure, triglycerides, and high-density lipoproteins. SAS version 9.4 was used for COX proportional hazards regression. RESULTS The findings indicated that abnormal waist circumference and blood pressure increased the likelihood of initiating exercise compared to normal results. Age stratification showed that those aged 40-49 with abnormal results were more likely to start exercising than normal participants, but not those under 40 or over 65. When stratified by chronic disease history, abnormal screening results correlated with exercise initiation only in groups without chronic disease history, except for those with a history of hyperlipidemia. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to demonstrate that abnormal screening results may influence exercise initiation in individuals who have never exercised, and this association varies by screening item, age, and disease history.

Respir Investig 2022; 60:822-830. [PMID: 36137930 DOI: 10.1016/j.resinv.2022.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is a common spirometry finding, but its heterogeneous manifestations and frequent transitions to airflow limitation (AFL), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or normal spirometry hinder establishing an appropriate management strategy. This study examined whether transition to AFL and baseline comorbidities are more frequent in subjects with definite PRISm (PRISm confirmed on both current and past two spirometry tests) versus incident PRISm (PRISm confirmed only on a current test with past normal spirometry records) than in normal spirometry. METHODS Archived medical check-up data of subjects aged ≥40 years (n = 10828) with two past spirometry records, in a Japanese hospital, were cross-sectionally analyzed. Among them, data from those with follow-up spirometry after three years (n = 6467) were used to evaluate transition to AFL. PRISm was defined as forced volume in 1 s (FEV1)/forced vital capacity ≥0.7 and % predicted FEV1 < 80%. RESULTS Overall PRISm prevalence was 6.5%. In multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, and body mass index, definite PRISm (n = 290), but not incident PRISm (n = 183), was associated with elevated hemoglobin A1c and C-reactive protein levels, and higher rates of asthma, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes than was consistent normal spirometry (n = 9694). The transition to AFL after three years was more frequent in definite PRISm, but not incident PRISm, than in normal spirometry (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] = 6.21 [3.42-10.71] and 1.45 [0.23-4.73], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Multiple confirmed PRISm on past and baseline spirometry is closely associated with metabolic syndrome factors, asthma history, and future AFL development.

Association between Regular Exercise and Self-Rated Health and Sleep Quality among Adults in Japan during the COVID-19 Pandemic. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph181910515. [PMID: 34639823 PMCID: PMC8507649 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph181910515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Regular exercise may be associated with better self-rated health and sleep status. However, this correlation among various age groups, such as young, middle-aged, and older people, as well as during the COVID-19 pandemic, has not been examined. This study examined the correlation between regular exercise and self-rated health and sleep quality among adults in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected using an online survey conducted between February 26 and 27, 2021. A total of 1410 adults in Japan (age range, 20–86 years) completed the online survey. Regular exercise was divided into: (1) more than 30 min of moderate exercise a day, (2) more than 2 days per week, and (3) continuous for 1 year or longer. Self-rated health and sleep quality were assessed using the Likert scale. After adjusting for multiple confounders, regular exercise was correlated with decreased poor self-rated health and poor sleep quality in middle-aged adults; however, no significant correlation was observed among young and older adults. The promotion of regular exercise among middle-aged people during the COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to better self-rated health and sleep quality status.

Abstract
AIM Reports have shown that physical activity is inversely associated with heart failure risk, but evidence in Asian populations is lacking. We sought to examine the impacts of walking and sports participation on heart failure mortality among a Japanese population. METHODS We involved 36,223 Japanese men and 50,615 women (aged 40-79 years) who completed a self-administered questionnaire between 1988 and 1990. We divided participants into four categories of walking (<0.5, 0.5, 0.6-1.0, and ≥ 1 h/day) and sports participation (<1, 1-2, 3-4, and ≥ 5 h/week) and examined associations with activity and heart failure mortality through 2009. RESULTS We found inverse associations between physical activity and heart failure mortality. The multivariable hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for the highest category of walking time compared with the second-lowest category were 0.76 (0.59-0.99) in men and 0.78 (0.61-0.99) in women, while the ratios for the highest category of sports participation time compared with the second-lowest category were 0.62 (0.41-0.93) in men and 1.09 (0.73-1.65) in women. The lower hazard ratios in the highest categories of walking and sports participation time in men became no longer statistically significant after excluding heart failure deaths for the first 5, 10, and 15 years for walking time and 10 and 15 years for sports participation. However, in women, the low hazard ratios for the highest category ≥ 1.0 h/day of walking time did not change materially. CONCLUSIONS Physical activity was associated with a lower risk of mortality from heart failure in this Japanese community-based population. The attenuated and nonsignificant association of walking and sports participation with the risk in men after exclusion of first 5-15 years heart failure death was probably due to changes in physical activity and death certificate diagnosis during the follow-up and reverse causation. However, the persistent inverse association between walking and the risk in women suggests a beneficial preventive effect on heart failure.
