“…Specifically, the multivariable-adjusted HRs for DM for TG Q2 (0.93-1.27 mmol/L), Q3 (1.28-1.80 mmol/L) and Q4 (≥ 1.81 mmol/L) compared with Q1 (＜0.93 mmol/L) were 1.07 (95%CI: 0.94, 1.23), 1.17 (1.03, 1.34) and 1. 48 (1.30, 1.69), respectively ( Table 3). The ability to predict the development of DM by adding TG to the model consisting of conventional risk factors significantly improved based on the area under the ROC curve in women in a non-fasting state (Table 4).…”

Aim: The levels of lipids, especially triglycerides (TG), and obesity are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Although typically measured in fasting individualsUtility of TG for Predicting Diabetes tions at baseline. Moreover, we excluded 19,191 men and 35,407 women who did not participate in the 1994 survey, thereby ensuring that subjects were followed up for at least one year. A total of 39,196 men and 87,980 women were followed up annually until the diagnosis of DM or the end of 2007. A fasting state was defined as not having had a meal for at least eight hours based on a self-reported questionnaire.

“…Assuming that 10% of the population are affected with diabetes in Japan, 18 7.8% of ERM may be attributable to diabetes in the Japanese population. Our data thus suggest that diabetes is an important risk factor for ERM, even without diabetic retinopathy.…”

Purpose To determine the prevalence and risk factors of epiretinal membranes (ERM) in a Japanese population. Patients and Methods The Funagata Study examined 1758 Japanese aged 35 years or older (42% of eligible) from June 2000 to June 2002. A total of 1723 (98.0%) participants had nonmydriatic fundus photographs of the right eye to grade the presence of ERM, using the Blue Mountains Eye Study (BMES) protocol. After age standardization, the prevalence of ERM in the right eyes of the participants included in this study was compared with that reported from right eyes of participants in the BMES and the Beaver Dam Eye Study (BDES). ERM detected in eyes with diabetic retinopathy and other retinal lesions were excluded from the analysis of associations. Multiple logistic regression models were used to determine risk factors for the presence of ERM, adjusting for age and gender. Results There were 84 right eyes with ERM, representing 5.44% of this sample. After age standardization, the prevalence rate (5.7%) was within the range reported in the BMES (3.5%) and the BDES (6.9%). Older age (genderadjusted odds ratio (OR) per 10 years: 1.72, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.40-2.11) and diabetes (age-gender-adjusted OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.01-3.37) were the only two factors associated with ERM. Conclusions We found a similar prevalence of ERM in the Japanese as in mainly white populations. Increasing age and diabetes were risk factors for ERM in this adult Japanese population.

“…8 The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (10-20%) in the general population was similar to that in the study population (males 15%, females 22%), whereas the prevalance of hypertension (40-50%) and diabetes mellitus (10%) in the general population tended to be higher compared with the study population. [30][31][32] Second, considering the age-specific changes in body compositon in our subjects 8 , the cut-off points for the risk factors may be different among different age groups, 29 which should be examined in the future. Finally, the WHO cut-off points were defined according to the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, while data on morbidity and mortality were not available in the present study.…”

OBJECTIVE:To determine the cut-off points of indices of obesity for detecting hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus in Japanese individuals. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: A total of 2728 Japanese individuals (768 males and 1960 females, aged 20-79 y) who attended the Fukuoka Health Promotion Center, Japan for health check-up. MEASUREMENTS: Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were measured. Percentage fat mass (%FM), trunk fat mass (FM trunk ) and trunk fat mass-leg fat mass ratio (FM trunk /FM legs ) were obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Cardiovascular risk factors were determined by blood pressure, serum lipids, fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A 1C . RESULTS:The cut-off points of BMI, WC and WHR were around 23.5 kg/m 2 , 84 cm and 0.9 for males, and 22.5 kg/m 2 , 72 cm and 0.8 for females. The cut-off points of %FM, FM trunk and FM trunk /FM legs were around 24%, 8 kg and 1.6 for males, and 35%, 9 kg and 1.4 for females. WHR and FM trunk /FM legs most accurately detected the risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: For Japanese individuals, the cut-off points for detecting cardiovascular risk factors are lower than the criteria by the World Health Organization. Indices of fat distribution detected the cardiovascular risk factors more accurately than those of overall adiposity. The accuracy of detecting the risk factors was comparable between the anthropometric indices and indices obtained by DXA.
