Risk Factors for Alcohol Consumption after Starting Assisted Reproductive Technology Treatment among Japanese Women: Japan-Female Employment and Mental Health in Assisted Reproductive Technology (J-FEMA) Study.

Aims: To determine the association between drinking habits and social factors among women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment in Japan.

Methods: The study participants who provided answers for the questionnaire concerning alcohol consumption were 1017 female patients undergoing ART treatment were enrolled in the Japan-Female Employment and Mental Health in assisted reproductive technology (J-FEMA) study between August and December 2018. Patient characteristics, including demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic status, were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire which was distributed only once during the period, regardless of their first or follow-up examination.

Risk factors for infertility treatment-associated harassment among working women: a Japan-Female Employment and Mental health in assisted reproductive technology (J-FEMA) study.

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate the risk factors of infertility treatment-associated harassment (I-harassment) among Japanese working women.

Methods: The study participants were 1103 female patients who enrolled in the Japan-Female Employment and Mental Health in artificial reproductive technology (J-FEMA) study. Of the 1727 female patients, 1103 female patients were working during the initiation of infertility treatment and were still working during the survey.

Depressive and anxiety symptoms among Japanese cancer survivors: Japan cancer survivorship research project.

Background: This study aimed to clarify predictors of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms after cancer diagnosis among Japanese cancer survivors (CSs).

Methods: As part of a Japanese cancer survivorship research project commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan, we conducted a web-based nationwide survey of CSs in 2018. We analyzed the risk factors for depressive and anxiety symptoms, as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Japanese version (HADS).

Predictors of resignation and sick leave after cancer diagnosis among Japanese breast cancer survivors: a cross-sectional study.

Background: In Japan, 55.5% of breast cancer survivors (BCSs) are of working age, so various perspectives regarding return to work (RTW) after cancer diagnosis need to be considered. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the risk factors for resignation and taking sick leave (SL) among BCSs in continued employment at the time of diagnosis.

Risk factors for resignation from work after starting infertility treatment among Japanese women: Japan-Female Employment and Mental health in Assisted reproductive technology (J-FEMA) study.

Objective: To elucidate the risk factors associated with resignation from work of Japanese women undergoing infertility treatment.

Methods: A total of 1727 female patients who attended a private fertility clinic in Japan participated in the Japan-Female Employment and Mental health in Assisted reproductive technology study. Questions related to demographic, clinical and socioeconomic characteristics were employed in the questionnaire.

Predictors of post-cancer diagnosis resignation among Japanese cancer survivors.

Purpose: In Japan, due to the increased incidence of cancer among the working population, it has become more important to support employees to achieve a balance between cancer treatment and work. This study aimed to clarify the predictors of resigning from employment after being diagnosed with cancer (post-cancer diagnosis [PCD] resignation) among Japanese employees.

Methods: As part of a Japanese national research project (Endo-Han), the investigators conducted a web-based survey of cancer survivors (CSs) in 2017.

[Work and Cancer Survivorship in Japan].

In Japan, as the proportion of working-age cancer survivors is expected to increase, balance between cancer treatment and work is one of the most important topic in occupational health. This study is a first large-scale study investigating cumulative return to work(RTW)rate and work continuance rate among Japanese cancer survivors. Data on Japanese employees who experienced an episode of sick leave due to clinically certified cancer diagnosed between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2011 were obtained from an occupationalheal th register.

Recurrent sick leave and resignation rates among female cancer survivors after return to work: the Japan sickness absence and return to work (J-SAR) study.

Background: To date, there have not been any workforce-based Japanese cohort studies investigating work sustainability after return to work (RTW). The objective of this study was to investigate the post-RTW cumulative recurrent sick leave rate and cumulative resignation rate among female cancer survivors.

Methods: Among Japanese employees who were registered in the Japan sickness absence and return to work (J-SAR) study, the subjects were those female employees who returned to work after sick leave due to newly clinically diagnosed cancer (C01-C99; ICD-10), based on a physician's certificate, between 2000 and 2011.

Durations of first and second periods of depression-induced sick leave among Japanese employees: the Japan sickness absence and return to work (J-SAR) study.

This study aimed to clarify the difference between the durations of first and second periods of depression-induced sick leave and to identify predictors of a prolonged second period of depression-induced sick leave. Among Japanese employees who were registered in the Japan sickness absence and return to work (J-SAR) study, the subjects were those employees who returned to work after an initial period of depression-induced sick leave (F3; ICD-10, based on a psychiatrist's certificate), and returned to work after a second period of depression-induced sick leave. The subjects' second periods of sick leave (mean: 156.

Mitochondrial DNA 5178 C/A polymorphism modulates the effects of coffee consumption on elevated levels of serum liver enzymes in male Japanese health check-up examinees: an exploratory cross-sectional study.

Background: Longevity-associated mitochondrial DNA 5178 cytosine/adenine (Mt5178 C/A) polymorphism modulates the effects of coffee consumption on the risk of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and abnormal glucose tolerance. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Mt5178 C/A polymorphism modifies the effects of coffee consumption on abnormally elevated levels of serum liver enzymes in male Japanese health check-up examinees.

Methods: A total of 421 male subjects (mean age ± SD, 54.
