Trends for coronary heart disease and stroke and their risk factors in Japan.

TL;DR: Disease surveillance and population surveys of risk characteristics in a northeast rural community of Japan (1965 census population, 7,030) are combined in an attempt to relate morbidity and risk factor trends for coronary heart disease and stroke during the last 2 decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum triglycerides and risk of coronary heart disease among Japanese men and women

TL;DR: Nonfasting serum triglycerides predict the incidence of coronary heart disease among Japanese men and women who possess low mean values of total cholesterol, and adjustment for high density lipoprotein cholesterol suggests an independent role of triglycerides on the coronaryHeart disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Plaque Characteristics as a Risk Factor for Stroke in Japanese Elderly Men

TL;DR: Increased IMT of the CCA and an uncalcified plaque in the ICA, as assessed by ultrasonography, are risk factors for stroke in elderly Japanese men.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linoleic Acid, Other Fatty Acids, and the Risk of Stroke

TL;DR: A higher intake of linoleic acid may protect against ischemic stroke, possibly through potential mechanisms of decreased blood pressure, reduced platelet aggregation, and enhanced deformability of erythrocyte cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of serum total cholesterol, different types of stroke, and stenosis distribution of cerebral arteries. The Akita Pathology Study.

TL;DR: Elevated serumolesterol levels were associated with the presence of cortical artery infarction, while low serum cholesterol levels wereassociated with cerebral hemorrhage, and the association of serum cholesterol with pathogenesis varies among stroke types.
