TL;DR: The existence of higher stroke rates and lower CHD rates in Asian countries than in Western countries and the respective risk factors for this are discussed on the basis of extensive reviews of cohort studies and whether these risk factors differ from those of Western countries are discussed.

Takayuki Kosaka,Takahiro Ono,Takahiro Ono,Momoyo Kida,Miki Kikui,Masaaki Yamamoto,Sakae Yasui,Takashi Nokubi,Yoshinobu Maeda,Yoshihiro Kokubo,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiro Miyamoto +11 more
TL;DR: The multiple linear regression analysis showed that, when controlling for other variables, masticatory performance was significantly associated with sex, number of functional teeth, maximum bite force and periodontal status in perfect OSA and in decreased OSA.

TL;DR: Hypertension has significant effect on the residual LTR of stroke among both men and women of middle age, specifically for ischemic stroke in this urban community-based population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Takayuki Kosaka,Takahiro Ono,Yoko Yoshimuta,Momoyo Kida,Miki Kikui,Takashi Nokubi,Yoshinobu Maeda,Yoshihiro Kokubo,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiro Miyamoto +9 more
TL;DR: Periodontal disease affects masticatory performance not only if occlusion is established by natural dentition with no tooth loss but also if Occlusal support has decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol consumption and the risk of diabetes by body mass index levels in a cohort of 5,636 Japanese
Makoto Watanabe,Federica Barzi,Bruce Neal,Hirotsugu Ueshima,Yuji Miyoshi,Akira Okayama,Sohel Reza Choudhury +6 more
TL;DR: In this study, current alcohol consumption was associated with an increased risk of diabetes among low-BMI individuals and a decreased risk of Diabetes among middle-B MI individuals, and a tendency for an association of alcohol consumption with a decreases risk ofabetes among high-B BMI individuals was noted, although without statistical significance.
