Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Hisayama Study is a population-based cohort study of CVD, which was established in 1961 in the town of Hisayama. A total of 2,630 community-dwelling Japanese individuals (1,107 men and 1,523 women) aged >40 years were prospectively followed up for an average of 19 years, and the association between serum non-HDL-C levels and the incidence of type-specific CVD was estimated by using a Cox proportional hazards model. At baseline, 357 subjects had CKD. During the follow-up, 186 coronary heart disease (CHD) and 277 stroke events occurred. In the CKD group, the risk of CHD was significantly higher in non-HDL-C levels of 150-189 mg/dL (hazard ratio [HR], 2.23) and in >190 mg/dL (HR, 3.20) compared to <150 mg/dL, while in the non-CKD group, the risk of CHD was significantly higher only in >190 mg/dL (HR, 2.12). Our findings suggest that the association between higher serum non-HDL-C levels and CHD was greater in individuals with CKD than those without CKD.
