    Methods: The association between Coronary Risk Factors (CRF) and Body Mass Index (BMI, defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) was examined in 1, 551 Japanese in an urban health promotion sports center. These subjects were 20-84 years of age and free of known cardiovascular disease. Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (HDL-C), Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), smoking habits and sports habits were measured for CRF and converted to a score for overall estimation of individual CRF.
    Results: In analysis, a linear relation was observed between BMI and the sum of CRF scores (CRFI) in both men and women. Men had a higher CRFI and greater increase in CRFI by BMI than women. When examined separately by age strata, women showed a greater increase in CRFI by BMI with the increase in age. In contrast, men over 50 years old showed no increase in CRFI by BMI.

    In this study, to determine the influence of different lifestyles on maximal oxygen uptake, we carried out a survey on the effects of age, smoking, physical exercise, clinical examination values and dietary habits of 899 male factory workers on their maximal oxygen uptake. The results of the study were as follows:
    Maximal oxygen uptake significantly decreased with age. In the male factory workers, there were significant correlations between maximal oxygen uptake and frequency of physical exercise, a greasy diet and seasoning of the diet.
    Multiple regression analysis showed that the variables which correlated best with the maximal oxygen uptake were serum total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. These results indicated that good nutrition and physical activity are important for maintaining physical fitness.

    This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and physical activity (occupational and leisuretime), blood pressure, and serum lipids. The subjects of this study (n=727) were those who participated in a "health check for 30-year-olds" in the city of Gifu, Japan, during the period from April 1991 to March 1993. Individuals with a medical history and/or undergoing treatment for coronary heart disease (CHD), other heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, or renal disease were excluded. Finally, 411 males (30yrs of age) were considered for this study. VO2max was estimated according to the mathod of Åstrand & Rhyming.
    The results can be summarized as follows:
    1. Both occupational and leisuretime physical activity were independently related to VO2max. In subjects with light and moderate occupational physical activity, VO2max was affected by leisuretime physical activity rather than occupational physical activity, and in those with heavy occupational physical activity, it was affected by both occupational and leisuretime physical activity.
    2. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, VO2max adjusted for body mass index, smoking, and alcohol was associated significantly with systolic blood pressure (P<0.0001), high density lipoprotein choresterol (HDLC) (P<0.0001), triglyceride (P<0.0001), and the (total choresterol-HDLC)/HDLC ratio (P<0.0001). From the results obtained it may be concluded that VO2max can be considered as a factor to decrease the risk of CHD.

    To obtain basic data on the bone density of high school girls, the bone density of the right heel was measured in principle and their lifestyles were surveyed. The subjects were 142 girls (15-18years, mean±SD=16.5±0.8years old) of a high school in Nagano Prefecture, who accepted our visiting bone health check. Bone density was measured with an' Achilles' ultrasound bone-densitometer (Lunar Co.) and a self-registered questionnaire on their lifestyles was also employed in this study.
    The main results were as follows:
    1. There were no significant correlations between Sitffness and, age, grede, bone fracture, family historiy, and regularity of menstruation. However, Stiffness significantly correlated to the age of menophania (r=-0.191, p=0.002)
    2. High school girls who belonged to a sports club had significantly higher bone density than other girls. Those who did exercises which consist mainly of jumping, had significantly higher bone density than others who participated in running sports or did no exercise. There were also significant differences in the frequency of exercise and the duration of exercise. Mireover, those who had a regular exercise history had higher bone density than those who had no regular exercise histry, and the mean Siffness of the group that did exercises daily was higher than for those who did not.
    3. There were no significant correlations between Stiffness and food intakes. There also were no significant diffrence for Stiffness concerning intake of calcium-containing food groups. Regarding the cause of weight loss of more than 2kg/month, the mean Stiffness of the group with intense exercise was significantly higher than those in the no-weigh loss group and the group that had reduced dietary intake.
    4. Regarding the relationships between bone density and the lifestyles of high school girls, a delayed age of menophania had a significantly decreasing effect on Stiffness, whereas three variables of regular exercise habits at present, body weight, and exercise histories had significantly increasing effects on Stiffness in multiple regression analysis.
    5. It is considered that there may be other important factors in the relationship between bone density and lifestyle of adolescent females who are in a developmental state. Therefore, the measurement of bone density and its assessment need consideration from points of view which are different from those for middle-aged and the elderly people.

    A survey on the health behavior of inhabitants without occupations, aged 60 or over who lived in city A in Kagawa prefecture (400 people), was performed.
    The results are summarized as follows:
    1. The rates of participation in the general health checkup and the screening for colon cancer were high. In females, significant correlations were observed between the rates of participation in health examinations/screenings and age, but they were not significant in males.
    2. The rates of good health practices were high in the items "Taking breakfast", "No change of body weight", "Sleeping adequately" and "Drinking moderately or no drinking" The rate of "Exercise" for males was higher than for females, and the rate of "No smoking" was lower for males than for females. For females, a correlation was observed between the score of good health practices and age, and this score decreased with age, but in males there was no significant difference.
    3. The rate of participation in health education or health consultation was about 40 percent, and the rate of participation was larger for female inhabitants than for male inhabitants.
    4. Persons who participated in the health examinations/screenings had more healthful practices than who did not participate. A correlation was observed between the rates of participation in health examinations/screenings and "Exercise."
    5. Persons who participated in health education or health consultation had more healthful practices than who did not participate.
    6. Correlations were observed between the rates of participation in health examinations/screenings and the rate of participation in the health education, or health itself.
    In this analyzed sample population, the health behavior of primary prevention and secondary prevention were related to each other, and the existence of common factors among health bahavior for primary prevention and secondary prevention was estimated. Differences were observed between males and females concerning correlations between health behavior and age. It is thus necessary to improve health behavior via a continuous approach to the lifestyle for women. We think that good health behavior which continues over a long period of time can be instilled by approaching the lifestyle at the time of retirement for men.

    The effects of aerobic capacity and body fat accumulation on the insulin response after an oral glucose load were investigated in 21 college students. The subjects were divided into three groups based on their insulin response after an oral glucose load: the first group showed a hyper and prolonged insulin response; HI (n=6), the second group showed a lower insulin response; LI (n=6), and the third group consisted of other subjects; MI (n=9). The maximal oxygen consumption in the HI group (29.6±3.3ml/kg/min) was significantly lower than that in the LI group (42.5±3.1ml/kg/min, P<0.05). Although no significant difference was observed in the body mass index between the HI (24.6±1.9) and LI groups (22.2±0.4, p>0.05), the body fat and the waist-to-hip ratio were significantly higher in the HI group (25.3±3.1%, 0.87±0.03) than in the LI group (12.9±0.7%, 0.76±0.01, P<0.05). All subjects in the LI group performed regular exercise, while none of the subjects in the HI group performed any regular exercise. These results suggest that an inactive life style, decreased aerobic capacity and increased body fat accumulation all appear to result in an increased insulin response after a glucose load.

    Kondo's "Incidence of Minamata Disease in Communities along the Agano River, Niigata, Japan (Jap. J. Hyg. 51: 599-611; 1996)" is critically reviewed. The data of the article were obtained from most of the residents living in the Agano river villages where Minamata disease was discovered in June, 1965. However, sampling proportions were much different between in the population base and in the cases. The method of identification of cases from the data and the reason for the difference were not clearly demonstrated. The citations of reference articles are insufficient despite the fact that other epidemiologic studies on methyl-mercury poisoning have been reported not only in Japan, but also around the world. His"analysis of the recognized patients" is erroneous. Both the sampling scheme of information of hair mercury and the modeling of the analysis are based on Kondo's arbitrary interpretation, not on epidemiologic theory. His "analysis of the rejected applicants" is also erroneous. His calculations of the attributable proportion are incorrect and self-induced in both the assignments of data and analysis of data. Kondo has failed to study the epidemiologic theories in light of changes in the field. Therefore, his article is lacking in epidemiologic theory, a logical base and scientific inference.
    In Japan, epidemiologic methodology has rarely been used in studies on Minamata Disease in either Kumamoto and Niigata. The government has used neurologically specific diagnosis besed on combinations of symptoms to judge the causality between each of symptoms and methyl-mercury poisoning. Epidemiologic data obtained in Minamata, Kumamoto in 1971 indicate that the criteria set by the government in 1977 have produced much more false-negative patients than false-positive patients. As a result, a huge number of symptomatic patients, including those with peripheral neuropathy or with constriction of the visual field, did not receive any help or compensation until 1995. The authors emphasize that the causal relationship between each symptom and methyl-mercury exposure should be reevaluated epidemiologically in Japan.
