“…In contrast, a study in Japan by Misawa et al. 10 reported no significant differences in HDL‐C levels between passive and non‐passive smoking children. No previous studies in Japan have shown significant differences in lipid metabolism‐related factors between passive and non‐passive smoking children.…”

“…Several studies have reported significantly lower levels of HDL‐C in both adults and children exposed to ETS than in unexposed children, 7–9 indicating an increased risk of early arteriosclerosis onset in childhood due to passive smoking. In contrast, no previous studies in Japanese children have shown significant differences in lipid metabolism‐related factors between passive smoking and non‐passive‐smoking children 10 . Further, to our knowledge, no study in Japan has determined the presence or absence of passive smoking by measuring the level of urine cotinine, which has been suggested as a sensitive biomarker of inhaled cigarette smoke 11…”

“…The HDL-C concentration of HIV-infected patients in this study (38.6 ± 12.4 mg/dL) was <51 mg/dL, which is considered to indicate an increased risk for CVD [25]. There is evidence for relationships between BMI and age to HDL-C concentration [26, 27]. However, small sample size limited our ability to assess causal relationships in this study.…”

Antiretroviral therapy alters lipid metabolism in HIV-infected patients. However, interpreting the impact of HIV infection on lipid metabolism is difficult because of various associated factors, including antiretroviral drugs and demographic characteristics. A few studies have associated HIV infection with lipid metabolism in antiretroviral-naïve HIV-infected patients. Because there were no data in this regard from Japan, the present study examined the impact of HIV infection, as well as demographic and clinical features, on lipid metabolism in antiretroviral-naïve HIV-infected patients in Japan. We performed a cross-sectional study to examine the impact of HIV disease, demographic and clinical characteristics on lipid metabolism among 168 HIV-infected Japanese men who were antiretroviral naïve and who did not have hemophilia, including patients who took medication for dyslipidemia. The mean age of the patients was 45.7 years; 0.6% of the patients took medication to dyslipidemia. The mean CD4 lymphocyte count was 289/μL, the mean baseline log10 HIV viral load was 4.2 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL, and 22% of the patients had a history of AIDS-defining events. A higher HDL-C concentration was associated with a higher CD4 lymphocyte count (p = 0.043). Also, a higher LDL-C concentration was associated with a higher CD4 lymphocyte count (p = 0.003). Infection with HIV was associated with dyslipidemia in antiretroviral-naïve patients. More advanced HIV disease was associated with less favorable lipid homeostatic profiles. These results are similar to findings from other countries.

“…We recognize that all turnover did not result from poor health status. Finally, our questionnaire did not include present history and other lifestyles such as health complaints, smoking, alcohol consumption, and habitual exercise which affect BMI and T-cho [46][47][48][49][50][51][52] . Future studies should investigate the factors contributing to nurses' turnover considering the above items with reference to our results.…”

Relationship between Turnover andPeriodic Health Check-Up Data among Japanese Hospital Nurses: A Three-year Follow-Up Study: Takashi SHIMIZU, et al. University of Occupational and Environmental Health-The present study explored the relationship between turnover and periodic health check-up data among Japanese hospital nurses. The subjects were 379 registered nurses in a Japanese hospital and the duration of our study period was three years. By the proportional hazard model, we investigated the relative risks (RRs) of the turnover rate associated with the following: lifestyles (irregularity of meals, taking breakfast), work environment (working hours, work schedule), and health status (body mass index [BMI], serum total cholesterol [T-cho], taking medication, sleep disturbance). We obtained the data on turnover from October, 1997 to September, 2000. During the observed period we were able to follow up on 363 female nurses (96%) and the turnover total amongst them was 100. We divided the subjects into a younger (21-25-yr-old) and an older (>25-yr-old) group because of the interaction between age and turnover. In the younger group, we found that sleep disturbance influenced turnover significantly. On the other hand, in the older nurses, BMI and T-cho contributed to turnover significantly. Our results imply the possibility of a partial association between turnover and periodic health check-up data among the nurses. (J Occup Health 2005; 47: 327-333)
