Assessment of diabetics by the quantification of essential elements and stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in scalp hair
2019, Obesity MedicineCitation Excerpt :Further study of Na and K concentrations in the scalp hair of diabetics is therefore necessary. The levels of some essential elements such as Ca and Mg in the scalp hair are known to be higher in Japanese (Kamakura, 1983) and Polish (Chojnacka et al., 2010) females than males, and the incidence of diabetes is higher in males than in females in Japan (Kuzuya, 1994) as well as in UK and other countries (Diabetes in the UK, 2010). These differences led us to hypothesize that gender-related differences in essential elements in the scalp hair may be related to the gender-related difference in the incidence of diabetes.
The effects of vigorous physical activity on intra-abdominal fat levels: A preliminary study of middle-aged Japanese men
2010, Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :The prevalence of obesity has been increasing worldwide, including in Asian countries. In Japan, despite the fact that only 2–3% has been characterized as having a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, the World Health Organization's definition of obesity [3], the prevalence of metabolic disorders are relatively high [4,5]. This increased prevalence of metabolic disorders suggests that Japanese individuals are likely to develop CVD or other fatal complications at even mild levels of obesity.
Obesity phenotype and intra-abdominal fat responses to regular aerobic exercise
2009, Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :The prevalence of obesity has been increasing worldwide including in Asian countries such as Japan [3]. In Japan, despite the fact that only 2–3% has been characterized as obese [3], defined by the World Health Organization as a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, the prevalence of metabolic disorders are relatively high [4,5]. This suggests that Japanese individuals are likely to develop CVD or other fatal events at even mild levels of obesity.
The influence of physical activity-induced energy expenditure on the variance in body weight change among individuals during a diet intervention
2007, Obesity Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :In addition, the prevalence of obesity continues to increase in many countries [3]. In Japan, despite the fact that the Japanese population has only a 2–3% “obesity category” [4], defined by the World Health Organization as a body mass index (BMI) ≧ 30 kg/m2, the prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders are high ([5,6]). This suggests that, even with mild obesity, Japanese individuals are likely to develop lifestyle-related disorders.
