Diagnostic Criteria for Dyslipidemia - Executive Summary of Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) Guideline for Diagnosis and Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases for Japanese

Risk Factors Predisposing to Stroke Recurrence within One Year of Non-Cardioembolic Stroke Onset: The Fukuoka Stroke Registry

“…Values for white blood cells, hemoglobin, total protein, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, serum creatinine (sCr), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured on admission. According to the diagnostic criteria for dyslipidemia [15], we examined the frequency of LDL cholesterol ≥140 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dl, and triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl. Urine protein and glucose levels were evaluated semiquantitatively.…”

Association between Cystatin C and Arteriosclerosis in the Absence of Chronic Kidney Disease

“…Finally, 446 participants (177 men and 269 women) were included for further analysis. With regard to underlying diseases in the study participants, we adhered to the following definitions (based on values observed during physical examination or self-reported at an interview): hypertension was defined as blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg 27) ; dyslipidemia, as low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥ 140 mg/dL or high-density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C) ＜40 mg/dL 28) ; and diabetes mellitus (DM), as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 6.4% (HbA1c notation converted from the original Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) values to the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) values 29) .…”

Heterogeneous Effects of Association Between Blood Pressure Loci and Coronary Artery Disease in East Asian Individuals

“…Given that blood samples were taken without setting strict fasting condition, LDL-C was not calculated in the Fukuoka Cohort Study panel (n=12,569) according to the Japan Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines. 30 Trait-SNP association is meta-analyzed in samples from the Amagasaki Study (AMA; n=5,331) and Fukuoka Cohort Study (FUK; n=12,569) except for FPG, LDL-C, and TG (AMA samples alone) and WHR and HbA1c (FUK samples alone). Variables adjusted in the regression models are: age classes by sex for BMI (normalized) and WHR (normalized); sex, age, age-squared and BMI for total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C (log10-transformed), and TG (log10-transformed); and sex, age and BMI for FPG and HbA1c (log10-transformed).…”
