Background: There are scarce data on risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in Asian populations. Our goal was to advance knowledge on reproductive -related risk factors for EOC in a large population of Asian women.
Methods: This study used pooled individual data from baseline questionnaires in 11 prospective cohorts (baseline years, 1958-2015) in the Asia Cohort Consortium.
Article Synopsis
- A study followed 40,272 men and 54,902 women in Japan for 19.3 years to investigate how sleep duration affects death from chronic kidney disease.
- Participants were grouped based on sleep duration (less than 6 hours to more than 9 hours) and analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models.
- Results indicated that sleeping 8-9 hours or more than 9 hours per day significantly increased the risk of chronic kidney disease mortality, particularly in individuals under 65 years old.
Background: It has been suggested that the association between body mass index and breast cancer risk differs between Asian women and Western women. We aimed to assess the associations between body mass index and breast cancer incidence in East Asian women.
Methods: Pooled analyses were performed using individual participant data of 319,189 women from 13 cohort studies in Japan, Korea, and China.
Background: Planetary and human health are highly intertwined; our current food system is associated with high greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and burden of disease.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of diet-related GHGE with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Japan.
Methods: This study included 58,031 Japanese adults (35,078 women and 22,953 men) 40-79 y of age who participated in the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study during the period 1988-1990.
Aims: Few studies have investigated the impact of sleep duration at night and daytime napping on mortality from aortic disease. In this study, we examined the associations of sleep duration at night with daytime napping and mortality from aortic disease.
Methods: We followed 67,269 participants (26,826 men and 40,443 women, aged 40-79 years) who were not night shift workers and had no history of stroke, heart disease, or cancer.
