“…Finally, despite performing adjustments for potential confounding factors, the presence of residual confounding is possible. For example, the data were not adjusted for indicators of the socioeconomic status, such as the level of education and household income (20), due to the lack of available data.…”

Objective In Japan, reducing the consumption of miso soup and Japanese pickles, both traditional Japanese dishes, is recommended in order to decrease dietary salt intake. With the Westernization of dietary habits, however, these dishes are now consumed less frequently, and thus a reduction in their effect on sodium intake is suspected. This study examined cross-sectional associations between the frequency of intake of miso soup and Japanese pickles and the estimated 24-hour urine sodium excretion using data obtained from health examination surveys conducted in 2013 in Sado City, Japan. Methods The level of daily salt intake was estimated based on spot urine sodium and creatinine measurements. The frequency of intake of miso soup and Japanese pickles was determined using a self-reported questionnaire. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess associations. Results Among a total of 8,821 participants (3,956 men; age range, 19-97 years), the mean daily salt intake was 9.4 g/day. The frequency of intake of miso soup and Japanese pickles increased with age and was associated with the level of daily salt intake (p for trend <0.0001). A linear regression model analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and chronic kidney disease revealed that daily salt intake was associated with the frequency of intake of miso soup (p<0.0001) and Japanese pickles (p<0.0001) in all age groups, except those ! 80 years of age. Conclusion These findings suggest that reducing the consumption of miso soup and Japanese pickles may be an effective approach for decreasing the level of dietary salt intake in the general Japanese population, although not in octogenarians or nonagenarians.

“…Fazel et al showed that low income and low level of education were associated with poor hypertension-related knowledge among adults in southern Iran [15]. Other studies also revealed the relationship between SES and hypertension-related behavior [16,17,18,19]. Smokers with lower education showed less willingness to quit and fewer quit attempts and reported a younger age in their smoking history [16].…”

The rapid urbanization in China has brought with it some health benefits, but it also brought about a negative influence on the lifestyle of residents. We conducted this study to assess the change in hypertension-related knowledge and behavior from 2013 to 2016 among recently urbanized residents and determine their association with socioeconomic status (SES). This research used data from two cross-sectional studies conducted in Hezuo community in Chengdu, Sichuan province of China. A total of 2268 and 2601 individuals, respectively, participated and completed standard questionnaires. According to the results, the median (IQR) scores of health knowledge was 1 (0,3) and 3 (1,5), respectively, (p < 0.001) and the median (IQR) scores of health behavior was 6 (5,6) and 5 (5,6), respectively, (p < 0.001) in 2013 and 2016. The rate of sufficient knowledge increased from 8.8% to 18.1% (p < 0.001), while the rate of correct behavior decreased from 54.5% to 45.5% (p < 0.001) in three years. Logistic regression analysis showed that higher education was associated with sufficient hypertension-related knowledge (p < 0.05), and those with higher education, unemployment, and retirement were more likely to have sufficient behavior (p < 0.05). The impact of SES on knowledge was stable between 2013 and 2016. The behavior difference between the middle school educated and the illiterate increased from 2013 to 2016 (p < 0.05), and the behavior difference between the unemployed and manual workers decreased from 2013 to 2016 (p < 0.05). Our results revealed that hypertension-related knowledge improved with no corresponding improvement in self-reported behavior among recently urbanized residents from 2013 to 2016. Organizational strategy should be implemented to improve health education on knowledge, and what is more, translate knowledge into behavior. All these measures should be given more attention to the lower educated and manual workers among recently urbanized residents to eliminate the SES disparity.

“…In addition, HCMV infection might be a marker of low socioeconomic status, which is closely related to higher risk of intraparenchymal hemorrhage caused by high salt and low fat intake. [26][27][28] Further studies concerning the mechanisms of HCMV infection with stroke are encouraged.…”

Circulation Journal Official Journal of the Japanese Circulation Society http://www. j-circ.or.jp retrospective studies have reported an increased risk of stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) in association with HCMV infection. 8-12 Guech-Ongey et al 8 and Potena et al 9 reported a positive association between HCMV infection and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and indicated that HCMV infection is one of the main causes in cerebral infarction patients. In a recent case-control study, Huang et al demonstrated that HCMV seropositivity was higher in the stroke group than in controls (55.0% vs. 23.5%, P<0.05) and the presence of HCMV DNA increased the risk of stroke. 12 However, there are also a few epidemiological studies that have found different results. 13,14 In a prospective study over a 12-year follow-up period, Ridker et al found that IgG antibodies directed against CMV do not appear to be a marker for increased risk of future stroke (hazard ratio: 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.6-0.9). 13 In summary, the association between HCMV and risk of troke is the second commonest cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability worldwide. 1 Results from a large standardized case-control study (INTERSTROKE) indicate that traditional major risk factors for stroke include hypertension, current smoking, abdominal obesity, diet, and physical inactivity. 2 However, these risk factors cannot account for all of the global risk of all strokes. How to identify novel risk factors for stroke is still an urgent issue. 3 More recently, inflammation has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke. 4-6 Atherosclerosis is regarded as a chronic low-grade inflammation, initiated and deteriorated by a combination of classical risk factors and novel risk factors, such as viruses. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) belongs to the β-herpes virus subfamily, which after primary infection persists for the lifespan of the host. Background: The cause-and-effect relationship between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and stroke has not been widely elucidated. We aimed to determine if HCMV infection has an increased risk of future stroke in hypertensive patients in rural areas of China.
