The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis and the brain atrophy in the general population of Japanese women, and to clarify the relevant factors. Our target number of subjects of this study was 800. In 2015-2017, we have successfully conducted survey on 266 women, who were randomly sampled from local residents in Kusatsu city, Shiga. We have performed chest and abdominal computed tomography, head magnetic resonance imaging, carotid artery ultrasound, cognitive function test, physical function tests, blood pressure, blood and urine test, and electrocardiogram to the subjects. We will continue the survey on approximately 500 women additionally in 2018-2021.
