Research Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis affecting mostly children aged younger than 5 years. Revealing whether or not there is an association between a history of KD and potential risk factors for atherosclerosis is an important issue. We studied workers aged 20-39 years in Tochigi prefecture, Japan. Of 2,984 workers from five companies, 13 were confirmed as having a history of KD. Although there was nostatistical significance, the proportion of current smokers or ever smoking tended to be small, and systolic blood pressure tended to be low in workers with a history of KD. Results suggested that young adult workers with a history of KD intentionally maintain a healthy lifestyle.
