Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevention of heart failure (HF) is a public health issue. Using the National Vital Statistics, we explored risk factors for HF and coronary artery disease (CAD) mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS Altogether, 7,556 Japanese individuals aged ≥30 years in 1990 were followed over 25 years; of these, 139 and 154 died from HF and CAD, respectively. In multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis, common risk factors for CAD and HF mortality were hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 1.48 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.00-2.20] and 2.31 [95% CI 1.48-3.61], respectively), diabetes (HR 2.52 [95% CI 1.63-3.90] and 2.07 [95% CI 1.23-3.50], respectively), and current smoking (HR 2.05 [95% CI 1.27-3.31) and 1.86 [95% CI 1.10-3.15], respectively). Specific risk factors for CAD were male sex, chronic kidney disease, history of cardiovascular disease, and both abnormal T and Q waves, with HRs (95% CIs) of 1.75 (1.05-2.92), 1.78 (1.19-2.66), 2.50 (1.62-3.88), and 11.4 (3.64-36.0), respectively. Specific factors for HF were current drinking (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.24-0.78) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C; HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.67-0.98). There was an inverse association between non-HDL-C and HF in those aged ≥65 years (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.56-0.90), but not in those aged <65 years. CONCLUSIONS We identified common risk factors for HF and CAD deaths; a history of cardiovascular disease was a specific risk for CAD.

Abstract
AIM The constellation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors greatly impacts the lifetime risk (LTR) of incident CVD, but the LTR has not been thoroughly evaluated in the Japanese population. METHODS We conducted a prospective study involving a total of 25,896 individuals 40-69 years old without a history of CVD in 1995 (Cohort I) and 1993-1994 (Cohort II) in Japan. CVD risk factors (blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol levels, smoking status, and glucose concentrations) were used to stratify them by risk. The sex-specific LTR of incident coronary heart disease, stroke, atherosclerotic CVD, and total CVD were estimated for participants 45 years old in the 4 risk categories with the cumulative incidence rate, adjusting for the competing risk of death. RESULTS We found apparent differences in the LTR of total CVD according to the risk stratification. Individuals with ≥ 2 of the risk factors of blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg or treated, non-HDL cholesterol level ≥ 170 mg/dL or treated, current smoker, and diabetes had substantially higher adjusted LTRs of CVD than those in other groups, with a LTR of 26.5% (95% confidence interval, 24.0%-29.0%) for men and 15.3% (13.1%-17.5%) for women at 45 years. The LTR of incident stroke was the highest among CVDs, and the presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus strongly influenced the LTR of total CVD. CONCLUSION The impact of risk accumulation on LTR of CVD was greater in men, and 1 in 4 men with ≥ 2 major risk factors at 45 years of age developed CVD in their lifetime.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hormonal changes during menopause can disturb serum cholesterol which is closely associated with cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the prospective association between serum cholesterol and heart failure (HF) risk in postmenopausal women. METHODS We analyzed data from 1,307 Japanese women, aged 55 to 94 years. All women had no history of HF, and their baseline brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were less than 100 pg/mL. During the follow-ups conducted every 2 years, HF was diagnosed among women who developed BNP of 100 pg/mL or greater. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to calculate hazard ratios and 95% CI of HF for women per their baseline total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. The Cox regression models were adjusted for age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol drinking, hypertension, diabetes, cardiac murmurs, arrhythmia, stroke or ischemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and lipid-lowering agent use. RESULTS Within an 8-year median follow-up, 153 participants developed HF. In the multivariable-adjusted model, women with total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL or greater (compared with 160-199 mg/dL) and HDL-C of 100 mg/dL or greater (compared with 50-59 mg/dL) showed an increased risk of HF: hazard ratios (95% CI) = 1.70 (1.04-2.77) and 2.70 (1.10-6.64), respectively. The results remained significant after further adjusting for baseline BNP. No associations were observed with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS Total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL or greater and HDL-C of 100 mg/dL or greater were positively associated with the risk of HF in postmenopausal Japanese women.

Abstract
Probiotics are prospective for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Until now, systematic studies on the amelioration of hypercholesterolemia have been rare in terms of (cholesterol metabolism and transportation, reshaping of gut microbiota, as well as yielding SCFAs) intervention with lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In this study, strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, WLPL21, WLPL72, and ZDY04, from fermented food and two combinations (Enterococcus faecium WEFA23 with L. plantarum WLPL21 and WLPL72) were compared for their effect on hypercholesterolemia. Comprehensively, with regard to the above aspects, L. plantarum WLPL21 showed the best mitigatory effect among all groups, which was revealed by decreasing total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, upregulated cholesterol metabolism (Cyp27a1, Cyp7b1, Cyp7a1, and Cyp8b1) levels in the liver, cholesterol transportation (Abca1, Abcg5, and Abcg8) in the ileum or liver, and downregulated Npc1l1. Moreover, it reshaped the constitution of gut microbiota; specifically, the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B) was downregulated; the relative abundance of Allobaculum, Blautia, and Lactobacillus was upregulated by 7.48-14.82-fold; and that of Lachnoclostridium and Desulfovibrio was then downregulated by 69.95% and 60.66%, respectively. In conclusion, L. plantarum WLPL21 improved cholesterol metabolism and transportation, as well as the abundance of gut microbiota, for alleviating high-cholesterol-diet-induced hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
AIM Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an underdiagnosed autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by high levels of plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth. This study aimed to assess the genetic identification of FH in children with high LDL-C levels who are identified in a universal pediatric FH screening in Kagawa, Japan. METHOD In 2018 and 2019, 15,665 children aged 9 or 10 years underwent the universal lipid screening as part of the annual health checkups for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases in the Kagawa prefecture. After excluding secondary hyper-LDL cholesterolemia at the local medical institutions, 67 children with LDL-C levels of ≥ 140 mg/dL underwent genetic testing to detect FH causative mutations at four designated hospitals. RESULTS The LDL-C levels of 140 and 180 mg/dL in 15,665 children corresponded to the 96.3 and 99.7 percentile values, respectively. Among 67 children who underwent genetic testing, 41 had FH causative mutations (36 in the LDL-receptor, 4 in proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, and 1 in apolipoprotein B). The area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic curve predicting the presence of FH causative mutation by LDL-C level was 0.705, and FH causative mutations were found in all children with LDL-C levels of ≥ 250 mg/dL. CONCLUSION FH causative mutations were confirmed in almost 60% of the referred children, who were identified through the combination of the lipid universal screening as a part of the health checkup system and the exclusion of secondary hyper-LDL cholesterolemia at the local medical institutions.

Abstract
Although most current epidemiologic studies indicate no significant association between consuming one egg daily and blood cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk, arguments still persist with a positive association. Since the diet is one of the most influential factors for this association, we illustrate characteristic features in Japanese people whose dietary pattern is distinct from that, for example, the US (United States) population. Available epidemiologic studies in healthy Japanese people show no association between consumption of one egg daily and blood cholesterol level, consistent with those observed in the US population. However, when consumption of major nutrients and food sources of cholesterol are compared to the US population, Japanese people may have an extra-reserve against the influence of eggs on cardiovascular risk markers, despite consuming relatively more eggs. Further discussion on the influence of nutrients contained in the egg and dietary pattern, including interaction with gut microbes, is necessary. In addition, special consideration at the personalized level is needed for judgment regarding dietary cholesterol not only for hypercholesterolemic patients but for hyper-responsive healthy persons. Although randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up are required to evaluate the association between consumption of eggs and human health, available information, at least from the nutritional viewpoint, suggests that egg is a healthy and cost-efficient food worldwide.

Abstract
AIM Lifetime risk (LTR) indicates the absolute risk of disease during the remainder of an individual's lifetime. We aimed to assess the LTRs for coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality associated with blood pressure (BP) and total cholesterol levels in an Asian population using a meta-analysis of individual participant data because no previous studies have assessed this risk. METHODS We analyzed data from 105,432 Japanese participants in 13 cohorts. Apart from grade 1 and 2-3 hypertension groups, we defined "normal BP" as systolic/diastolic BP <130/<80 mmHg and "high BP" as 130-139/80-89 mmHg. The sex-specific LTR was estimated while considering the competing risk of death. RESULTS During the mean follow-up period of 15 years (1,553,735 person-years), 889 CHD deaths were recorded. The 10-year risk of CHD mortality at index age 35 years was ≤ 0.11%, but the corresponding LTR was ≥ 1.84%. The LTR of CHD at index age 35 years steeply increased with an increase in BP of participants with high total cholesterol levels [≥ 5.7 mmol/L (220 mg/dL)]. This risk was 7.73%/5.77% (95% confidence interval: 3.53%-10.28%/3.83%-7.25%) in men/women with grade 2-3 hypertension and high total cholesterol levels. In normal and high BP groups, the absolute differences in LTRs between the low and high total cholesterol groups were ≤ 0.25% in men and ≤ 0.40% in women. CONCLUSIONS High total cholesterol levels contributed to an elevated LTR of CHD mortality in hypertensive individuals. These findings could help guide high-risk young individuals toward initiating lifestyle changes or treatments.
