“…It is noteworthy that Japanese men with high job demands (time pressure and excessive amount of work in general) often have high cholesterol [12], are obese [13], and have a high prevalence of low back pain [14], tension and anxiety as well as depression [15]. Job demands, as one of the indices of job stress, may be associated with andropause symptoms in Japanese male workers.…”

The effect of habitual exercise on vascular function, including central arterial distensibility and endothelial function, in obese subjects has not yet been clarified.We investigated whether aerobic exercise training affects central arterial distensibility and endothelial function in middle-aged overweight and obese men. Twenty-one overweight and obese men (age: 50 ± 2 years, body mass index ( This increase may contribute to the improvement in endothelial function, as assessed by a decrease in ET-1 and an increase in NO, after exercise training-induced weight loss.

“…Weight loss approaches for obese workers with OSAHS are expected to improve worker's health condition as well as to prevent occupational accidents and to improve work productivity. There is also a possibility that increased workplace stress from job strain affects workers eating behaviors causing them to eat a lot and thus contributes to obesity among male Japanese workers 25,26) . To more effectively promote weight loss among obese workers with OSAHS, it might be necessary to add stress management in the workplace to weight loss approach.…”

The present study investigated the effectiveness of a weight loss program during routine medical follow-up with regularity on promoting weight reduction in obese obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) subjects receiving continuous positive airway pressure treatment (CPAP). A total of 10 male obese OSAHS subjects treated with CPAP were enrolled in the present study that was an intervention study without a control and had a pre-post test study design. The age was 50.7 (7.8) (mean (SD)) years, and body mass index was 30.7 (2.5) kg/m 2 . A 4-month weight loss program was developed, using a combined approach of diet and physical activity based on individual counseling with behavioral approach. At 4 months, weight was significantly decreased compared with the baseline value (88.4 (8.9) kg to 86.9 (8.8) kg, p=0.005), and the mean weight loss was a 1.7% decrease from the baseline. There was significantly higher percent weight loss in the group with a CPAP duration <30 months, than in the group ≥30 months (2.7 (1.6) % vs. 0.6 (0.5) %, p=0.032). The present study shows that a weight loss program may be useful in reducing weight for male obese OSAHS subjects treated with CPAP.
