“…As to relationships between insulin resistance and ECG monitors in all subjects, the levels of the resting heart rate and QTc interval were significantly and positively related with Although we reported that the alcohol consumption became more, as leisure-time physical activity increased much more when overseas life was done, [1] this study didn't show the significant relation between the resting heart rate and alcohol drinking habit. It was well known that higher heart rate were associated with increased mortality in the general population as well as in a number of cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension and ischemic heart disease.…”

“…) was significantly higher in [T] group than other groups. Both the higher resting heart rate and the elevated blood pressure (S-BP, D-BP, pulse pressure and MAP) levels might result from cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy [1]. [16], [17] Therefore, the resting heart rate and hypertension were important precursors for the metabolic syndrome.…”

Patterns of Outpatient Visits by Japanese Male Expatriates in Thailand: Rie SAKAI, et al. Department of Public Health, Juntendo University School of Medicine-Objective of this study is to clarify the health-related conditions of Japanese male expatriates in Thailand. Records of Japanese male expatriates in their 30s to 50s who consulted outpatient clinics at Bangkok Hospital in 2005 were analyzed for number and type of outpatient visits then compared with data from the "Patient Survey" 2005 for agematched males in Japan. "Diseases of the respiratory system" and "Certain infectious and parasitic diseases" had a higher rate of diagnosis among Japanese men living in Thailand than those living in Japan. "Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases," and "Mental and behavioral disorders" had a lower rate of diagnosis among Japanese men living in Thailand than those in Japan. "Acute upper respiratory infections" accounted for 87.4% of "Diseases of the respiratory system" and "intestinal infections" accounted for 59.9% of "Certain infectious and parasitic diseases" among expatriates. Japanese male expatriates have a tendency of not visiting hospital when they have no subjective or objective symptoms. To support a healthy expatriate life, health information should be propagated widely and available support services, such as counseling via e-mail or fax, should be actively promoted. Expatriates should be informed of the availability of these services before they go abroad and during their stay. (J Occup Health 2008; 50: 103-113)
