Open AccessAssociation between atherosclerosis and height loss among older individuals
Atherosclerosis and height loss are each reportedly associated with cardiovascular disease. However, no studies have found an association between atherosclerosis and height loss. A retrospective study of 2435 ...

Open AccessAssociation between anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody and thyroid stimulating hormone: a cross-sectional study
To maintain normal level of thyroid hormone, especially for free thyroxine (FT4), individuals with latent thyroid gland damage might have required higher thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) than those without la...

Open AccessAssociation between circulating CD34-positive cell count and height loss among older men
Height loss starting in middle age is reportedly significantly associated with death due to cardiovascular disease. Impaired blood flow is the main pathology in cardiovascular disease. Hematopoietic stem cells...

Open AccessAssociation between thyroid cysts and hypertension by atherosclerosis status: a cross-sectional study
Our recent studies indicate that thyroid cysts have clinical implications. Thyroid cysts could have a positive effect on the supply of thyroid hormones. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism cause hypertensi...

Open AccessPotential mechanisms underlying the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (BRAP and ALDH2) and hypertension among elderly Japanese population
Minor allele frequency (MAF) of rs3782886 (BRAP) and rs671 (ALDH2) are reported to be inversely associated with blood pressure. Another study revealed that hematopoietic activity which is evaluated by reticulo...
