The stress of life

Computed tomographic features of lymphangioleiomyomatosis: Evaluation in 138 patients

Background and objective:  The lung age of smokers is greater than their real age We have had the clinical impression that the lung age of non-smokers might be older than their real age and that obese subjects with decreased VC and FEV1 would also have an increased lung age This cross-sectional study investigated the relationships between lung age and smoking status, and lung age and BMI



Methods:  Subjects comprised 3247 men who consulted our institute for health screening; 819 subjects were non-smokers In smokers and non-smokers, lung age estimated by the predictive equation based on height and FEV1 was compared with chronological age To investigate the relationship between lung age and BMI in non-smokers, subjects were categorized into four groups based on quartiles of BMI and the lung age of the four groups compared Multiple linear regression was used to determine the relative contribution of BMI and smoking status to lung age



Results:  The predictive equation used to estimate lung age significantly overestimated the chronological age of study subjects In non-smokers, higher BMI was significantly associated with higher lung age BMI, duration of smoking and number of cigarettes per day were significantly associated with increased lung age



Conclusions:  Lung age could be used to motivate lifestyle change in obese individuals

The effect of obesity and smoking status on lung age in Japanese men

To include: collation of information and ideas and evaluation of those ideas relative to the extant literature/concept/theory and research question/problem; adoption of a personal position on the study by linking and combining different elements of the data reported; discussion of the real-life impact of your research findings for coaches and/or practitioners (i.e. practical implications); discussion of the limitations and a critical reflection of the approach/process adopted; and indication of potential improvements and future developments building on the study; and a conclusion which summarises the relationship between the research question and the major findings.

Effectiveness of Lifestyle Improvement and Stratification for Specific Health Guidance to Replace the Total Health Promotion Plan (THP) with a Standard Health Checkup Specific for Metabolic Syndrome

Objectives To investigate the effectiveness of advice to drinkers using“weekly alcohol consumption”during a health checkup for Japanese adult males.Design A controlled trial.Setting and Participants A physician advised 335 male drinkers to reduce drinking quantity during a health checkup based on“weekly alcohol consumption”, and we were able to follow 279 subjects a year later.Measurement and Results We compared a new method using“Weekly Alcohol Consumption”with the conventional method by making the drinking improvement rate an index. We also investigated the change in quantities of 10 variables. The drinking improvement rate by the new method (48.4%; complete improvement rate 16.5%) was significantly higher than that of the conventional method (13.3%; complete improvement rate 5.4%) (p<0.001) . The change quantities of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride by the new method were also more improved than those by the conventional one.Conclusions We consider that the drinking advice using “weekly alcohol consumption” was more useful than the conventional one which is using“2-drinks (50 g ethanol or less) per day” and“establishment of alcohol-free days”.

Effectiveness of Advice to Drinkers Using "Weekly Alcohol Consumption" During a Health Checkup for Japanese Adult Males

Purpose: To investigate the possibility of a delay in the super-compensation phase due to aging in jump practice. Methods: This study evaluated records in three phases (approximately every five years) of a man who had been participating in Masters Athletics for over 20 years. After correcting for air temperature, which would influence the distance on a standing five-step jump using simple regression analysis, the performance curve of the super-compensation phase was calculated at each phase by curvilinear estimation to assess the relationship between the training interval and distance on the standing five-step jump. Results: A peak distance on the standing five-step jump was achieved after a training interval of 60 hours in the first phase; 75 hours in the second phase; and 88 hours in the third phase. That is, the peak distance tended to delay with aging.

Possibility of Delay in the Super-Compensation Phase due to Aging in Jump Practice

Objectives To investigate tendencies in body weight and several laboratory data including plasma glucose and plasma lipids subsequent to smoking cessation.Design A case-control study.Setting and Participants Subjects consisted of 240 consecutive males 6 to 18 months after smoking cessation, who consulted our institute for health screening between October 2004 and February 2005.Measurement and Results We compared quantitative changes in data pre and post smoking cessation in quitters with annual data in current smokers. The variables examined were: body weight (BW), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), uric acid (UA), aspartate acid aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) . Positive changes in BW, SBP, DBP, FPG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, UA, and AST for quitters were significantly higher than those for current smokers. However, only a positive change in HDL-C for the group of the lowest change in body weight by quartile, which included all of the patients showing almost weight loss, was significantly more than one for current smoker. In opposition, positive changes in all variables for quitters who gained 1.8 kg or more were significantly higher than those in current smokers.Conclusions We consider that physicians should provide sufficient social guidance including diet and exercise advice to suppress weight gain subsequent to smoking cessation.

The Complications Accompanied by Weight Gain Subsequent to Smoking Cessation in Japanese Males

Objectives To investigate the influence of weight gain on pulmonary function.Design A cross-sectional study and a case-control study as a longitudinal study.Setting and Participants Subjects consisted of 3, 611 males who consulted our institute for health screening, including 847 smokers.Measurement and Results In the cross-sectional study, we compared percent vital capacity (%VC) and forced expiratory volume % in first second (FEV1.0%) among 5 BMI groups. And we also compared %VC and FEV1.0% among subjects with 3 smoking statuses; non-smoker, ex-smoker, and current smoker. In the longitudinal study, we investigated the relationship between annual changes in body weight and pulmonary function, then the changing values for pulmonary function pre and post smoking cessation in quitters were compared with annual data from current smokers. Multiple linear regression analyses were added in both studies.As a result, weight gain tended to promote decreased %VC in both studies. However, there was a difference between the two studies in the relation between body weight and FEV1.0%. In the comparison between smoking status and pulmonary function, there were no obvious differences in %VC among the three smoking statuses. In the cross-sectional study, FEV1.0% for non-smokers was significantly higher than that for ex-smokers, and FEV1.0% for ex-smokers was significantly higher than that for current smokers. However, annual changes in the status after smoking cessation did not show significant variation in FEV1.0%.Conclusions We consider that weight gain promotes decreased %VC.
