| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most important diseases in Japan. About 500 men aged over 40 years, who were recruited from a general population of Kusatsu city in Shiga Prefecture, underwent lung function tests and brain MRI. The prevalence of COPD was revealed to be about 15%. An association was found between reduced lung function and the white matter lesions and lacunar infarcts in never smokers.
