A Mathematical Model to Study the Potential Hepatitis B Virus Infections and Effects of Vaccination Strategies in China.

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Approximately 390,000 people in China die from HBV-related diseases each year.

Stair climbing and the incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a population-based prospective cohort study.

Stair climbing is a readily available form of physical activity with potential cardioprotective merits. Herein, we investigated the association between stair climbing and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) incidence among Japanese people.This prospective cohort study used data from 7,282 participants, aged 30-84 years, registered in the Suita Study and free from stroke and ischemic heart disease […]

Does cardiovascular risk matter in IBD patients?

Cardiovascular and thromboembolic risks are increasing in the population as a whole and therefore also in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Obesity is a worldwide challenge also affecting the IBD population, and a causal association with Crohn’s disease may exist. IBD itself, particularly when active, is also associated with a significant risk of thromboembolic and […]

Development of new scores for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease using specific medical examination items: the Suita Study.

We previously developed risk models predicting stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Japanese people from the Suita Study. Yet, applying these models at the national level was challenging because some of the included risk factors differed from those collected in the Japanese governmental health check-ups, such as Tokutei-Kenshin. We, therefore, conducted […]

Increased risk of dementia differs across cardiovascular diseases and types of dementia – Data from a nationwide study.

Dementia is a major health problem. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and risk factors are associated with incident dementia. However, whether there is an association among CVD, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD) at the population level remains unclear.We analysed the association between CVD (heart failure [HF], atrial fibrillation [AF], myocardial infarction [MI], peripheral arterial disease, […]
