Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a cross-sectional study of community-dwelling elderly Japanese subjects in Goto city who had undergone a national health check-up. We analyzed gene polymorphisms (rs3782886, rs4618210, rs3803915) that were reported to be associated with atherosclerosis, and categorized them into six groups based on the number of disadvantageous gene alleles present. No significant association between total number of disadvantageous gene alleles and clinical indicators of atherosclerosis (mean carotid intima-media thickness; CIMT and cardio ankle vascular index; CAVI) was found. However, a significant association was noted between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3782886, which was reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome, and short stature and dyslipidemia. Furthermore, we were able to maintain cohort study resources, including genetic polymorphisms and the follow-up survey system, after signing a memorandum with the primary medical institutes in Goto city.
