Journal ArticleDOI

Mitsunobu Matsubara,Hirohito Metoki,Michiko Suzuki,Tohru Fujiwara,Masahiro Kikuya,Mari Michimata,Takayoshi Ohkubo,Atsushi Hozawa,Ichiro Tsuji,Shigeru Hisamichi,Tsutomu Araki,Yutaka Imai +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that Japanese people possess three polymorphisms in exon 12, all of which are unique, and one inExon 8, which is coincident with a rare polymorphism in whites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of silent cerebrovascular lesions in individuals with ‘masked’ and ‘white-coat’ hypertension by home blood pressure measurement: the Ohasama study
Azusa Hara,Takayoshi Ohkubo,Takeo Kondo,Masahiro Kikuya,Yoko Aono,Sugiko Hanawa,Kyoko Shioda,Sayaka Miyamoto,Taku Obara,Hirohito Metoki,Ryusuke Inoue,Kei Asayama,Takuo Hirose,Kazuhito Totsune,Haruhisa Hoshi,Shin-ichi Izumi,Hiroshi Satoh,Yutaka Imai +17 more
TL;DR: The present study is the first to demonstrate that the risk of silent cerebrovascular lesions is higher with MHT than with SNBP and similar to that of sustained hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of alcohol intake on circadian blood pressure variation in japanese men: The ohasama study
Manami Nakashita,Takayoshi Ohkubo,Azusa Hara,Hirohito Metoki,Masahiro Kikuya,Takuo Hirose,Megumi Tsubota-Utsugi,Kei Asayama,Ryusuke Inoue,Atsuhiro Kanno,Taku Obara,Haruhisa Hoshi,Kazuhito Totsune,Hiroshi Satoh,Yutaka Imai +14 more
TL;DR: Habitual alcohol intake was associated with a higher 2h-BP Dif, which was significantly higher in heavy drinkers than in nondrinkers, while there was no significant association between drinking status and the magnitude of the nocturnal BP decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
The risk of secondary sex ratio imbalance and increased monozygotic twinning after blastocyst transfer: data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study.
Hiromitsu Hattori,Akane Kitamura,Fumiaki Takahashi,Norio Kobayashi,Akiko Sato,Naoko Miyauchi,Hidekazu Nishigori,Satoshi Mizuno,Kasumi Sakurai,Mami Ishikuro,Taku Obara,Nozomi Tatsuta,Ichiko Nishijima,Ikuma Fujiwara,Shinichi Kuriyama,Hirohito Metoki,Nobuo Yaegashi,Kunihiko Nakai,Takahiro Arima +18 more
TL;DR: There are significant relationships between blastocyst transfer and SSR imbalance and a higher occurrence of MZT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introversion associated with large differences between screening blood pressure and home blood pressure measurement : the Ohasama study
Atsushi Hozawa,Takayoshi Ohkubo,Taku Obara,Hirohito Metoki,Masahiro Kikuya,Kei Asayama,Kazuhito Totsune,Junichiro Hashimoto,Haruhisa Hoshi,Yumiko Arai,Hiroshi Satoh,Toru Hosokawa,Yutaka Imai +12 more
TL;DR: Physicians may need to be aware of ‘introverted’ patients who have high blood pressure in clinic settings, because they have the potential for ‘white-coat’ hypertension.
