Aims: The evidence for the impact of alcohol consumption on long-term mortality among myocardial infarction (MI) survivors was limited. We aimed to examine whether alcohol consumption was associated with cause-specific and all-cause mortality in men with or without a history of MI. Methods: A total of 32,004 men aged 40-79 years with no history of MI and 1,137 male MI survivors, free of stroke and cancer, were followed through the end of 2009. Alcohol consumption was assessed using self-administered questionnaires at baseline and five years. Results: In MI survivors, consuming 23-45 g/day of alcohol was associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality compared to never drinkers: the multivariable hazard ratio was 0.36 (95% confidence interval: 0.16-0.80). In non-MI men, a 10-26% lower risk was observed at <23 or 23-45 g/day with the U-shaped association for CHD, cardiovascular disease, other causes, and all causes (P-quadratic <0.001). Conclusion: Alcohol consumption of 23-45 g/day was associated with a lower CHD mortality in MI survivors as so in men without MI.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between age at menarche and risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. Methods: In total, 54,937 women aged 40-79 years old between 1988 and 1990 without a history of cardiovascular disease were eligible for analysis and were followed through December 2009. We used the Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between age at menarche and risk of cardiovascular disease. Results: Compared with women with age at menarche of 15 years, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of stroke were 1.22 (0.85-1.75) for women with age at menarche of 9-12 years, 1.08 (0.85-1.36) for those of 13 years, 1.23 (1.02-1.47) for those of 14 years, 1.27 (1.07-1.50) for those of 16 years, 1.16 (0.95-1.41) for those of 17 years, and 1.39(1.16-1.68) for those of 18-20 years (P for trend=0.045). A similar pattern was observed for hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and total cardiovascular disease. No such association was found for coronary heart disease. When stratified by age, for women aged 40-59 at baseline, the similar U-shaped association was observed. In contrast, for women aged 60-79 years at baseline, a significantly high hazard ratio was noted in the group of late age at menarche, but not in the group of early age at menarche. Conclusions: Both women with early and late age at menarche were determined to have higher risk of death from stroke and cardiovascular disease.

Background:The effect of postprandial glucose on the risk of cardiovascular disease has been emphasized, but it is controversial whether nonfasting glucose is related to incident stroke and its types.Methods and Results:We investigated the associations of nonfasting glucose with incident stroke and its types among 7,198 participants aged 40–74 years from the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study, enrolled in 1995–2000. We estimated multivariable hazard ratios (HR) using Cox proportional hazard models. Over a median follow-up of 14.1 years, 291 cases of total stroke (ischemic strokes: 191 including 109 lacunar infarctions) were identified. Nonfasting glucose concentration was associated with greater risk of incident total stroke, ischemic stroke and lacunar infarction when modeled categorically (for prediabetic type: 7.8–11.0 mmol/L vs. normal type: <7.8 mmol/L among all subjects, HR for lacunar infarction was 2.02, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19, 3.43) or continuously (per one standard deviation increment among all subjects, HR for lacunar infarction was 1.29, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.45). Diabetic type showed similar results. Population attributable fractions of nonfasting hyperglycemia were 13.2% for ischemic stroke and 17.4% for lacunar infarction.Conclusions:Nonfasting glucose concentration, either as a diagnosis of prediabetic and diabetic types or as a continuous variable, proved to be an independent predictor significantly attributed to incident total stroke, especially ischemic stroke and lacunar infarction, in the general population.

Aim: We aimed to examine the impact of overweight and obesity on mortality from nonrheumatic aortic valve disease. Methods: In the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study, we analyzed data of 98,378 participants aged 40–79 years, with no history of coronary heart disease, stroke, or cancer at baseline (1988–1990) and who completed a lifestyle questionnaire including height and body weight; they were followed for mortality until the end of 2009. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of nonrheumatic aortic valve disease mortality according to body mass index (BMI) after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Results: During the median 19.2 years follow-up, 60 deaths from nonrheumatic aortic valve disease were reported. BMI was positively associated with the risk of mortality from nonrheumatic aortic valve disease; the multivariable HRs (95% CIs) were 0.90 (0.40–2.06) for persons with BMI <21 kg/m2 , 1.71 (0.81–3.58) for BMI 23–24.9 kg/m2 , 1.65 (0.69–3.94) for BMI 25–26.9 kg/m2 , and 2.83 (1.20–6.65) for BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 (p for trend=0.006), compared with persons with BMI 21–22.9 kg/m2 . Similar associations were observed between men and women (p for interaction=0.56). Excluding those who died during the first ten years of follow-up or a competing risk analysis with other causes of death as competing risk events did not change the association materially. Conclusions: Overweight and obesity may be independent risk factors for nonrheumatic aortic valve disease mortality in Asian populations.

Aim: Manganese (Mn) is an essential element in the human body, and it has a significant impact on cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. However, no research has been conducted on the association between Mn and cardiovascular disease (CVD), to the best of our knowledge. This study thus examined the association between dietary Mn intake and CVD mortality in the general Japanese population.Methods: The CVD mortality among 58,782 participants from the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study (JACC) aged 40–79 years was determined during a median follow-up period of 16.5 years. The Mn intake was estimated using a food frequency questionnaire at the baseline (1989–1990), and multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality were computed according to quintiles of energy-adjusted Mn intake. Results: During the follow-up period, a total of 3408 CVD deaths were recorded. Participants in the highest quintile of Mn intake had a lower risk of mortality from total stroke (HR:95% CI, 0.76: 0.64–0.90), ischemic stroke (HR: 0.77, 0.61–0.97), ischemic heart disease (HR: 0.76, 0.58–0.98), and total CVD (HR: 0.86, 0.76–0.96) compared with those in the lowest quintile. The reduced risk of mortality from intraparenchymal hemorrhage with high Mn intake was observed among women (HR: 0.60, 0.37–0.96) but not men (HR: 0.93, 0.59–1.47). The observed associations were more robust in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women. Conclusions: Our study is the first to show the prospective association between dietary Mn intake and reduced risk of mortality from CVD in the Japanese population.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between the serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and incident atrial fibrillation risk in the general Japanese population, who have lower hs-CRP levels than the Western population, and assess whether the association is modified by sex, overweight, hypertension, and smoking status. Methods: We conducted a prospective study in 6517 Japanese men and women aged 40–79 years without atrial fibrillation at baseline and enrolled in the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (2002–2008). The hs-CRP levels were measured using the latex particle-enhanced immunonephelometric assay. Atrial fibrillation was identified using standard 12-lead electrocardiograms and information on physician-diagnosed atrial fibrillation history from the follow-up surveys. We used a Cox proportional hazard regression stratified by community. Results: During a median follow-up of 11 years, 127 new cases of atrial fibrillation (74 and 53 cases among men and women, respectively) were found. Compared to the lowest quintile of hs-CRP levels, the multivariable hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 2.54 (1.17–5.50), 2.28 (1.06–4.93), 2.92 (1.37–6.23), and 2.77 (1.30–5.91) for the second, third, fourth, and fifth (highest) quintiles, respectively. There was no significant effect modification by sex, overweight, hypertension, and smoking status (P for interaction >0.05). Conclusions: Elevated hs-CRP levels were significantly associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation in the Japanese population. The association of hs-CRP levels with incident atrial fibrillation did not vary according to sex, overweight, hypertension status, or smoking status.

Aim: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), frequently used as a biochemical marker for detecting and monitoring heart failure, is also a risk marker for development of coronary heart disease and total stroke. However, studies that explore subtypes of ischemic stroke with regard to NT-proBNP are scarce. Here, we examined NT-proBNP and its impact upon subtypes of ischemic stroke (lacunar stroke, large-artery occlusive stroke and embolic stroke) among Japanese. Methods: We measured NT-proBNP and categorized 4,393 participants of the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study into four groups (<55, 55-124, 125-399, and ≥ 400 pg/ml). We used a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to examine association with risks of stroke and subtypes. Results: During 4.7 years of follow-up, we identified 50 strokes, including 35 ischemic (15 lacunar, 6 largeartery occlusive, 10 embolic strokes) and 14 hemorrhagic strokes. NT-proBNP was associated with stroke risk: the multivariable hazard ratio of total strokes was 7.29 (2.82-18.9) for the highest and 2.78 (1.25-6.16) for the second highest NT-proBNP groups compared with the lowest group. The respective hazard ratios for the highest NT-proBNP group were 9.37 (3.14–28.0) for ischemic stroke and 6.81 (1.11–41.7) for lacunar stroke. Further adjustment for atrial fibrillation did not attenuate these associations. The associations were similarly observed for large-artery occlusive and embolic strokes. Conclusion: We found that even moderate serum levels of NT-proBNP were associated with the risk of total and ischemic strokes among Japanese whose NT-proBNP levels were relatively low compared with Westerners.

Aims: The frequency of breakfast intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular events; however, it is uncertain what the impact of the energy and nutrient intakes from breakfast are. We assessed the association between these intakes from breakfast and the risk of stroke prospectively.Methods: In a baseline survey of four Japanese communities between 1981 and 1990, we enrolled 3 248 residents (1 662 men and 1 586 women) aged 40–59 years who were free from stroke and heart disease and who responded to the 24-hour dietary recall survey. We assessed the dietary intake at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and other times separately.Results: During the median 25-year follow-up, 230 individuals (147 men and 83 women) developed stroke. After adjustment for age, community, other dietary intakes, and lifestyle and physiological factors, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of intracerebral hemorrhage for the highest versus lowest quartiles of energy intake from breakfast were 0.38 (0.15–0.99) in men and 1.36 (0.36–5.10) in women. For the major nutrients, a higher saturated or monounsaturated fat intake at breakfast was associated with a reduced risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in men, and remained statistically significant after further adjustment for intake of other major nutrients from breakfast.Conclusions: A higher intake of energy from breakfast, primarily saturated or monounsaturated fat, was associated with a reduced risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in Japanese men.
