Common Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Measurements in Cardiovascular Risk Prediction A Meta-analysis

TL;DR: The addition of common CIMT measurements to the Framingham Risk Score was associated with small improvement in 10-year risk prediction of first-time myocardial infarction or stroke, but this improvement is unlikely to be of clinical importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Race/Ethnic Differences in the Associations of the Framingham Risk Factors with Carotid IMT and Cardiovascular Events.

TL;DR: The magnitude of associations between risk factors and the presence of atherosclerotic disease differs between race/ ethnic groups, and these subtle, yet significant differences provide insight in the etiology of cardiovascular disease among race/ethnic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum cholesterol levels in relation to the incidence of cancer: The JPHC study cohorts

TL;DR: Findings do not support that low serum total cholesterol levels increase risks of total cancer and other major sites, although the inverse association for liver cancer remained to be examined further.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood pressure and the risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality among Japanese: the JPHC Study.

TL;DR: The contributions of normal BP, highnormal BP, and mild hypertension to the occurrence of stroke events were greater than those made by moderate and severe hypertension, highlighting the importance of primary prevention and of treatment for low-to-moderate degrees of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social support and stroke and coronary heart disease: the JPHC study cohorts II.

TL;DR: Social support was not associated with stroke incidence, suggesting social support may be more important in stroke prognosis than preventing incidence, and low social support was associated with higher risk of stroke mortality in men.
