Abstract
People living in the northeastern part of Japan have high prevalences of hypertension and stroke. The current status of cardiovascular risk factors in them should be elucidated. The survey was carried out from 2002 to 2004 in the northeastern part of the main island of Japan. A total of 26,472 Japanese men and women were enrolled (acceptance rate: 84.5%). Sex- and age-specific prevalences of cardiovascular risk factors were determined. Mean values of predictive markers (high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and microalbuminuria) were also determined in each group. Risk factor-related variables in non-hypertensive subjects and hypertensive subjects were compared. Proportions of subjects with hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia were 46.0%, 7.6%, and 30.3%, respectively, in males and 38.6%, 4.0%, and 38.5%, respectively, in females. Mean values of hsCRP and BNP were 1.41 mg/L and 26.5 pg/mL, respectively, in males and 1.01 mg/L and 23.7 pg/mL, respectively, in females. Proportions of male and female subjects with microalbuminuria were 22.0% and 23.4%, respectively. These markers become higher with advance of age. Prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 1.56%, and it increased with advance o...Continue Reading
