Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated how a patient's health status before experiencing sepsis affects their recovery and mortality one year after discharge, focusing on a large population in Japan.
  • Researchers categorized the pre-sepsis care needs of 17,648 patients into several levels, revealing that higher care needs were linked to increased mortality rates and changes in post-discharge care requirements.
  • The findings suggest that patients with greater pre-sepsis care needs face a higher risk of death and intensified care needs within a year after being discharged from the hospital.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous research suggests a potential link between statin use and a lower risk of dementia, but this has not been clearly established in Japan's aging population.
  • This study analyzed data from the LIFE Study, focusing on Japanese participants aged 65 and older, to investigate this association more thoroughly.
  • Results showed that statin users had a significantly reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, with higher cumulative statin doses offering greater protective benefits compared to non-users.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the relationship between statin use and Parkinson's disease risk in Japanese individuals aged 65 and older, using data from the Longevity Improvement and Fair Evidence Study.
  • Results showed that statin use was inversely associated with the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, suggesting a protective effect, especially with higher cumulative doses of statins.
  • Specifically, lower doses correlated with an increased risk, while higher doses were linked to a decreased risk of Parkinson's disease among older adults in Japan.

Background: Many epidemiological studies have investigated dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins in relation to prostate cancer risk in Western countries, but the results are inconsistent. However, few studies have reported this relationship in Asian countries.

Methods: We investigated the association between intake of vitamins, including lycopene, α-carotene, β-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, with prostate cancer risk in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective (JPHC) study.

Background: Some studies have investigated the relation between dairy products and mortality, but with inconsistent results.

Objective: We examined the association between the consumption of dairy products and the risk of all-cause, cancer-related, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality.

Methods: From the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective (JPHC) study, 43,117 males and 50,193 females with no history of cancer or CVD finished the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and were included in the study.
