Sequelae of cardiovascular risk factors: Similarities and differences
2017, AtherosclerosisSimilarities and differences between coronary heart disease and stroke in the associations with cardiovascular risk factors: The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study
2017, AtherosclerosisCitation Excerpt :The cause-specific mortality was adjusted for the transition to the International Classification of Diseases (10th revision), and was determined for CHD (I20–I25), stroke (I60–I69), CVD (including CHD and stroke), intracerebral hemorrhage (I61), and ischemic stroke (I63). The Hisayama Study reported that concordance between causes of death in death certificates and those in autopsy reports were 0.84 for stroke and 0.66 for CHD [8]. A self-administered questionnaire assessed sociodemographic information, smoking and alcohol-drinking status, exercise/sports activities, and self-reported past histories of hypertension and diabetes.

2017, Journal of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :When a subject died, we collected all medical information related to his/her illness and death, including hospital charts, physicians' records, and death certificates. Moreover, an autopsy was performed in the Department of Pathology at Kyushu University, if consent for an autopsy was obtained.31,32 All subjects were followed up completely until the end of the survey.

2016, Journal of the American Medical Directors AssociationCitation Excerpt :Use of death certificates to classify major causes of death may lead to misclassification. However, this limitation is not unique to the present study, and the use of death certificates for this purpose was reported to be accurate in Japan.15,16 Walking speed is an established indicator of overall gait performance.
