Abstract
The Western Pacific region is a diverse region experiencing fast economic growth and nutrition transition. We systematically examined 94 cohort studies on the associations of dietary and other lifestyle factors on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the region. These studies were mainly from China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore. Patterns and changes in lifestyle risk factors for NCDs based on national surveys were examined. They showed some dietary intake improvements over the past three decades, featured as increased consumption of unsaturated oils, fruits, and vegetables, and decreased consumption of sodium and unhealthy fat. Despite a decrease in smoking rate and salt intake, the values remained higher than the global levels in 2019. The ultra-processed food intake in the region increased at a higher rate than the global estimate. National guidelines relevant to NCDs in five selected countries were highlighted. Strong future actions and policies are needed to tackle NCDs.

Alcohol Consumption and a Decline in Glomerular Filtration Rate: The Japan Specific Health Checkups Study. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15061540. [PMID: 36986270 PMCID: PMC10058733 DOI: 10.3390/nu15061540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the clinical impact of alcohol consumption on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the dose-dependent association between alcohol consumption and the slope of the estimated GFR (eGFR) in 304,929 participants aged 40-74 years who underwent annual health checkups in Japan between April 2008 and March 2011. The association between the baseline alcohol consumption and eGFR slope during the median observational period of 1.9 years was assessed using linear mixed-effects models with the random intercept and random slope of time adjusting for clinically relevant factors. In men, rare drinkers and daily drinkers with alcohol consumptions of ≥60 g/day had a significantly larger decline in eGFR than occasional drinkers (difference in multivariable-adjusted eGFR slope with 95% confidence interval (mL/min/1.73 m2/year) of rare, occasional, and daily drinkers with ≤19, 20-39, 40-59, and ≥60 g/day: -0.33 [-0.57, -0.09], 0.00 [reference], -0.06 [-0.39, 0.26], -0.16 [-0.43, 0.12], -0.08 [-0.47, 0.30], and -0.79 [-1.40, -0.17], respectively). In women, only rare drinkers were associated with lower eGFR slopes than occasional drinkers. In conclusion, alcohol consumption was associated with the eGFR slope in an inverse U-shaped fashion in men but not in women.

Abstract
Japanese salt consumption is high, about 10 g salt/d. Low salt intake reduces the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. However, saltiness is an important taste in daily meals, greatly influencing eating habits. When hospital admission is short-term, reducing salt supply may have an adverse effect on food intake. The aim of this study is to find the effect of sudden change in dietary salt content on energy intake in elderly Japanese inpatients. The study is an observational study of 83 patients and was conducted in a hospital in Tokyo, Japan. The research period was three weeks, and included 8 g salt/d meals for the 1st week, 7 g salt/d meals for the 2nd week, and 7 g salt/d meals with total 1 g/d salt packs that patients were allowed to use freely for the 3rd week. The energy supply satisfied the individuals' energy requirements and was the same throughout the three weeks. Nutrition surveys and blood pressure measurements during the three weeks were conducted by dietitians and nurses, respectively. The results showed that energy intake of patients was reduced by about 90 kcal/d in the 2nd week compared with the 1st week and increased about 130 kcal/d in the 3rd week compared with the 2nd week. Blood pressure did not change during the research period. When high salt intake has become a habit, reducing salt supply suddenly in a short time period may lead to decreased energy intake in elderly inpatients but does not affect blood pressure.

Abstract
Background: Since women's readiness for dietary behavioral change can be one of the most effective fundamental measures for reducing dietary salt intake in line with preventing chronic diseases in developing countries, the present study is aimed to determine the readiness for behavioral change in discretionary salt intake among women living in Tehran. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 561 women referring to the women care units across city of Tehran. The self-administered questionnaire included assessment of nutrition-related knowledge on salt intake and its association with diseases, discretionary salt intake, stages of change, and self-efficacy of women. In addition, the logistic regression test was used to determine the predictors of women's readiness for behavioral change in discretionary salt intake. Results: 40% women had someone in the family who had such a limitation (salt intake-limited exposure group), while 81.6% always or often added salt to their foods. Moreover, one-third of the participants were in the stage of pre-contemplation and 41.2% were in the stage of preparation for reducing salt intake. Self-efficacy and salt intake-limited exposure were the two most important determinants of the women's readiness for behavioral change in discretionary salt intake, respectively: (OR = 1.1 95% CI: 1.06--1.14 P < 0.001; OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.03--2.42 P < 0.03). Conclusions: Results of the present study showed that increased self-efficacy is associated with higher levels of behavioral change among women. Since self-efficacy is very important for initiating and maintaining the behavioral change, women's empowerment for reducing salt intake necessitates putting the emphasis on increased self-efficacy as well as community-based nutritional interventions.

Abstract
Excessive drinking of alcohol is becoming a worldwide problem, and people have recognized that there exists a close relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and alcohol consumption. However, there are many inconsistencies between experimental and clinical studies on alcohol consumption and kidney damage. The possible reason for this contradictory conclusion is the complex drinking pattern of humans and some bioactivators in wine. In addition, the design itself of the clinical studies can also produce conflicting interpretations of the results. Considering the benefits of light-to-moderate alcohol consumption, we recommend that CKD patients continue light-to-moderate drinking, which is beneficial to them. Because alcohol consumption can lead to adverse events, we do not advise non-drinkers to start to drink. Although light-to-moderate alcohol consumption may not pose a risk to patients with CKD, the patients’ condition needs to be considered. Consumption of even small amounts of alcohol can be associated with increased death risk. Additional clinical and experimental studies are needed to clarify the effect of alcohol on the kidneys and alcohol consumption on CKD patients.

Pretreatment Blood Pressure is a Simple Predictor of Hemorrhagic Infarction after Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rt-PA) Therapy. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2019; 28:1979-1986. [PMID: 30982718 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2019.03.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Revised: 03/07/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic infarction (HI) is among the most severe complications that can occur following the administration of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). In the present study, we aimed to determine the optimal cut-off points of blood pressure (BP) for HI after rt-PA treatment, and to compare our findings with those for other prediction models. METHODS We analyzed data from 109 consecutive patients with stroke treated at our hospital between 2009 and 2016. HI was confirmed via computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Patients were classified into a symptomatic HI group, an asymptomatic HI group, and a non-HI group. BP was measured on admission and before rt-PA treatment. Glucose Race Age Sex Pressure Stroke Severity (GRASPS) and Totaled Health Risks in Vascular Events (THRIVE) scores were also calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine factors associated with symptomatic and asymptomatic HI. RESULTS Among the 109 total patients, 25 patients developed symptomatic HI, while 22 patients developed asymptomatic HI. ROC analysis for predicting symptomatic and asymptomatic HI revealed that the area under the curve for pretreatment systolic BP (SBP) was .88 (95% confidence interval[CI]: .83-.94), while those for GRASPS and THRIVE scores were .75 (95% CI: .66-.85) and .69 (95% CI: .59-.79), respectively. We identified an optimal cut-off point of 160 mm Hg (sensitivity: 82.3%; specificity: 76.6%; diagnostic accuracy: 80.0%; positive predictive value: 76.6%; negative predictive value: 82.5%). CONCLUSIONS Pre-treatment SBP may be a simple predictor of symptomatic and asymptomatic HI in patients with stroke undergoing rt-PA treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies report conflicting results of a dose-dependent association between alcohol consumption and incidence of chronic kidney disease. Only a few studies have assessed the clinical impact of > 45-65 g/day of critically high alcohol consumption. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 88,647 males and 88,925 females with dipstick urinary protein ≤ ± and estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at their first annual health examinations between April 2008 and March 2010 in Japan. The exposure was the self-reported alcohol consumption. The outcome was proteinuria defined as dipstick urinary protein ≥ 1 + or ≥ 2 +. RESULTS During median 1.8 years (interquartile range 1.0-2.1) of the observational period, 5416 (6.1%) males and 3262 (3.7%) females developed proteinuria defined as dipstick urinary protein ≥ 1 +. In males, a U-shape association between alcohol consumption and proteinuria was observed in a multivariable-adjusted Poisson regression model [incidence rate ratio (95% confidence interval) of rare, occasional, and daily drinkers with ≤ 19, 20-39, 40-59, and ≥ 60 g/day: 1.00 (reference), 0.86 (0.79-0.94), 0.70 (0.64-0.78), 0.82 (0.75-0.90), 1.00 (0.90-1.11), and 1.00 (0.85-1.17), respectively], whereas a J-shape association was observed in females [1.00 (reference), 0.81 (0.75-0.87), 0.74 (0.64-0.85), 0.93 (0.78-1.11), 1.09 (0.83-1.44), and 1.45 (1.02-2.08), respectively]. Similar associations with dipstick urinary protein ≥ 2 + were shown in males and females. CONCLUSIONS Moderate alcohol consumption was associated with lower risk of proteinuria in both males and females. Females with ≥ 60 g/day of high alcohol consumption were at higher risk of proteinuria, whereas males were not. Females were more vulnerable to high alcohol consumption, than males.

Abstract
Objective Dietary salt reduction is important for the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, including hypertension. Thus, in order to follow a strict low-salt diet, it is necessary to assess one's salt intake and to become aware of the importance of salt reduction. Methods More than 2,000 employees of a company, who received a periodic health checkup, participated in the present study. They assessed their day-to-day diet-related lifestyle, using the Salt Check Sheet, and we analyzed the correlations among the Salt Check Sheet scores, the daily salt intake (as estimated by a spot urine sample), and the results of the periodic health checkup. Results In the overall survey population, we only found a weak correlation between the salt check scores and the salt intake. In a subgroup analysis, significant correlations between these two variables were observed among untreated hypertensive participants, but not among treated hypertensive participants. We examined the association between 13 individual questionnaire items and the estimated daily salt intake using a multivariate linear regression model and found that only 5 of the 13 questionnaire items were correlated with the daily salt intake. Conclusion We found that a Salt Check Sheet composed of the 5 items that showed a strong correlation with the salt intake might be more useful for periodic health checks of the working-age population.

Abstract
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is recommended by the American Heart Association to lower blood pressure (BP); however, its effects in Japanese participants have not been rigorously studied. We assessed the effects of the DASH-Japan Ube Modified diet Program (DASH-JUMP), a modified DASH diet, on cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in Japanese participants with untreated high-normal BP or stage 1 hypertension. Fifty-eight participants (30 men and 28 women; mean age 54.1±8.1 years) with untreated high-normal BP or stage 1 hypertension followed the DASH-JUMP (salt 8.0 g per day) for 2 months. After the intervention period, they resumed their usual diets for 4 months. The DASH-JUMP significantly decreased the participants' body mass index values (24.6±3.5 kg m-2 at baseline23.2±3.3 kg m-2 at 2 months, P=0.000), BP (153±14/91±11 mm Hg at baseline130±16/80±9 mm Hg at 2 months, P=0.000 and 139±16/85±10 mm Hg at 6 months, P=0.000), fasting serum glucose level (100±26 mg dl-194±15 mg dl-1 at 2 months, P=0.003) and fasting insulin level (6.9±5.9 μIU ml-14.4±2.7 μIU ml-1 at 2 months, P=0.000). The mean compliance of the participants for the DASH-JUMP diet was 88.5%. The DASH-JUMP diet reduced cardiovascular risk factors and may be an effective nutritional strategy for preventing cardiovascular events.
