Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and cardiovascular risk scores (Suita and Framingham) using data from over 25,000 health checkups in Japan.
- - Results indicated that the Suita score has a stronger correlation with baPWV compared to the Framingham risk score, particularly evident across both genders.
- - Cutoff values were established for baPWV to identify moderate- and high-risk cardiovascular groups, varying by age and sex, with specific thresholds identified for men and women in different age brackets.
Objectives The purpose of this ecological study was to clarify the relationship between the manpower of full-time and part-time public health nurses (PHNs) and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) in municipalities in Japan.Methods We divided 1,225 municipalities with a population over 10,000 for which SMRs were officially published into two groups based on whether the municipality had established a public health center (PHC): general municipalities and PHC-established cities. A linear mixed model was used to examine the relationships among the number of full-time PHNs; cumulative total number of workdays for part-time PHNs; and other healthcare and social welfare resources for SMRs for all causes, malignant neoplasms, cerebrovascular disease, and heart disease.
