Subject:
creatinine; excretion; men; protein intake; standard deviation; t-test; urea nitrogen; urine; women; Japan
Abstract:
... In this study, we hypothesized that spot urine can be used to predict protein intake at both group and individual levels. Participants (n = 369) of this study were recruited from all 47 prefectures in Japan. Sex-specific formulas were developed based on the ratio of urea nitrogen to creatinine concentration obtained from 3 spot urine samples. Validity of the formulas was examined against two 24-ho ...

Subject:
cadmium; chronic exposure; creatinine; kidneys; men; risk; risk assessment; watersheds; women; Japan
Abstract:
... OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reference level of urinary cadmium (Cd) that caused renal effects. An updated hybrid approach was used to estimate the benchmark doses (BMDs) and their 95% lower confidence limits (BMDL) in subjects with a wide range of exposure to Cd. METHODS: The total number of subjects was 1509 (650 men and 859 women) in non-polluted areas and 3103 (1397 me ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Since there is little information derived from prospective studies on the amount of alcohol drinking required to induce hyperuricaemia, we attempted to address this issue in a Japanese population. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 3310 Japanese men aged 20–54 years that were free of hyperuricaemia were classified according to their alcohol intake per week at baseline. Incident h ...

Subject:
analysis of variance; blood; cadmium; creatinine; men; urine; Japan
Abstract:
... We examined how the influence of smoking on blood and urinary cadmium (Cd) concentrations was modified by the level of environmental Cd. We measured blood and urinary Cd concentrations of 1134 men over 50 yr of age in three areas in Japan that were exposed to different levels of environmental Cd. Analysis of variance was used to compare Cd concentrations in blood and urine of smokers with those of ...

Abstract:
... OBJECTIVE:-- The goal of this study was to know the fate of albuminuria in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes under tight blood pressure and glycemic control. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-- Patients having normoalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion <30 mg/g creatinine, n = 179) or microalbuminuria (albumin excretion 30-299 mg/g creatinine, n = 94) at baseline have been followed up for 8 years: ...
