Laura Seyfried-Physical Therapist 10500 Quivira Rd Overland Park, KS 66215 By: Ricky Ashley Education and Background • Laura Seyfried went to the University of Kansas for 4 years, but now a days you have to go to college for 7 years to become a physical therapist • She has worked at Overland Park Regional for over 15 years • Even know she went to college for physical therapist, she didn't always start out wanting to be a physical therapist Education and Background At first, she wanted to be an athletic trainer, but than she learned that physical therapist did the same work and got paid more money for the same work • She went straight into physical therapy at Overland Park Regional right after college, she has been at that hospital her entire career, she plans to retire there, and than become a full parent Job Requirements • One of the most important job requirements for a physical therapist, you have to be a friendly person • You need to be a good talker, and an easy person to get along with • You have to go to a college for 7 years to start out • You have to dress nicely, but you have to be able to move around in your clothes • You wouldn't think this mattered, but you have to be flexible and not afraid to get dirty. You have to be flexible so you can squat and help the person out if needed, or lay on the ground to show them exercises Benefits of the Job • There are a lot of benefits to being a physical therapist, but not all of them are money. You get the pleasure of knowing you helped a patient, and you get to feel good about yourself. You also get paid a lot for being a physical therapist, since the work really isn't that hard. Equipment • There are a lot of equipment used in being a physical therapist. You have to sometimes push them around in a wheel-chair, oh look at the monitor to see how there heartbeat is going. You use the equipments to make sure the patient can do the work, without putting themselves in danger. Facilities • The team of physical therapist have their own facility in the hospital. It is on the west wing, and it has all the supplies they need to get their job done. In their facility, they have walkers, wheel-chairs, measuring tools, and most importantly hand sanitizer. There facility is one of the biggest in the hospital, and this is because lots of people are hurt in the hospital. Reception Desk • The reception desk is in two different places, they have one in the west wing, and one in the front of the hospital. It is like this, because they have to have a private section, and a section where the patients can walk up there at anytime. Miscellaneous • The physical therapist have their own special bath system. This system is for injured people. This is like an ice bath machine, and its made accessible for handicap people. The tub is super big, so they can fit any size of people in there. Next to the machine, they have a wheel-chair set up for the person, just in case the person is too cold to be able to walk. Miscellaneous • The physical therapist have co- workers, that aren't considered to be just physical therapist. They are considered special therapist, because they are there to work one body part, not the entire body. For example, there is a special therapist for just hands, when a normal therapist like Laura, would work on the entire body.

While searching the net for root beer ideas I came across a recipe that used food grade CO2 to carbonate root beer.
While the root beer was to be served freshly made, I was wondering if anyone had ever tried it and what your thoughts are on bottling it?
What I smoke has a sting to it.
What is the issue you are raising... food as opposed to nonfood co2 gas or liquid? Or are you asking about dropping a dry ice pellet into a bottle, and capping fast?
I asked about food grade here long ago and got silence. Now I have learned to appreciate the character that soda picks up from dirty co2. Hopefully my paintball co2 bottle was machined out using used motor oil, and passed the savings on to me. The actual gas may have traces of banned insecticides for all I care... I gotta have my hourly hit of fizz!
Tripping on carbonic acid, high on fructose!
Food grade co2? Hahaa
That stuff is really expensive.
I have a refill station with "food grade" co2 and will happily refill your non-food grade with my "food grade" for only $89.95 per 5 lb tank plus shipping...
I wasn't clear was I? The recipe called for putting food grade dry ice in the mix and serving it as soon as the dry ice had dissolved in the mix.
I expect you would lose most bubbles transferring the mix to bottles. If you add small pellets of known size to full bottles, it might be workable after some trial and disaster.
Trial and disaster would be a very accurate description. Carbonating with dry ice is wildly inefficient. The rate of sublimation (off-gassing) is much greater than the rate of dissolution (carbonating) into the liquid, so you waste a lot of CO2 to the air. A general rule of thumb for carbonating using dry ice is to use 1lb per gallon. You can normally get between 5 and 7 adequately carbonated 5-gal kegs of soda with a 5lb tank of CO2 by force carbonating in a keg. I'll let you do the math on that one.
Even with measuring out the correct weight of dry ice based on the volumes of CO2 that you want to carbonate to, putting that in a sealed bottle will likely build up too much pressure and explode before it can be fully dissolved.
We had a guy at our church do that with root beer at a Halloween party this year. He had a modified Sanke keg with a wide mouth threaded lid that he dumped root beer mix and dry ice into. The lid had some relief valves and about 10 seconds after he sealed it up, the relief valve opened and blasted the ceiling with root beer and covered the entire kitchen in a fine mist of root beer scented stickiness.
While carbonating with dry ice may be fun, there are better ways to add bubbles to your beverage.

Carbonating root beer with dry ice is a common picnic party activity. I've seen it done a lot. It's not nearly as efficient as other methods, but it's fun and easy.

Jenny McCarthy 'Fixed' Son's Autism
"Evan couldn't talk -- now he talks. Evan couldn't make eye contact -- now he makes eye contact. Evan was antisocial -- now he makes friends. It was amazing to watch, over the course of doing this, how certain therapies work for certain kids and they completely don't work for others ... When something didn't work for Evan, I didn't stop. I stopped that treatment, but I didn't stop."
The Time article calls into question whether Evan ever had autism at all. "Evan's symptoms -- heavy seizures, followed by marked improvement once the seizures were brought under control -- are similar to those of Landau-Kleffner syndrome, a rare childhood neurological disorder that can also result in speech impairment and possible long-term neurological damage," the piece reads, even going so far as to suggest that Evan's social difficulties could be explained by simple shyness.
"Perhaps the miracle I have beheld is the quotidian miracle of childhood development: a delayed 2-year-old catching up by the time he is 7, a commonplace, routine occurrence, nothing more surprising than a short boy growing tall."
McCarthy would, of course, disagree. However, the mother now supports more research into vaccinations rather than eliminating them entirely - though, she says, Evan will never receive another. She still believes there is an undeniable connection between vaccines and her son's condition.
"Come and see our kids. Why won't the CDC come and talk to the mothers, talk to the families? Then tell us there isn't a link."
As she deals with Evan's difficulties and travels the country speaking to mothers in similar situations, she credits one thing with getting through the hardest times: hope. "Try everything," she suggests. "Hope is the only thing that will get us up in the morning."

Check your facts. McCarthy met Carey well after her son's recovery. If you knew anything, you would also know that McCarthy also dealt with her son's autism at it's peak as a single mother, because most parents of autistic children separate due to the enormous stress of caring for an autistic child. Also, after briefly dating, McCarthy broke up with Carey to care for her son. It wasn't until McCarthy's son's recovery is when her and Carey became serious. Looks like you missed the bus because I just schooled you on getting your facts straight!!!

your false facts are an example of why this situation is so convoluted and our children are not better. Jenny does not blame MMR, MMR NEVER contained thimerosal. Read up before you go on sites and state ignorance as facts. Pathetic.Especially for an autism mom.
- Friday 26 FebruaryBy Andi
My doctor agrees with Jenny McCarthy about vaccines and so do I. It's not that vaccines are "bad" it's that your flooding the body of a tiny new human being with poison. Is there any reason why these vaccines can't be given in smaller doses? I read an article of a woman who was HARRASSED by the nurses where she had her baby because they wanted to give her baby a vaccine against a sexual disease. She stood her ground and refused to allow them to give her baby the vaccine without first researching it. When she took her baby to her doctor she found out the vaccine was not only unneccessay but it was also dangerous. Do your research, people, don't just do what someone else tells you you "should" do!

The original Lancet submission claiming a link between autism and the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) shot has been discredited for years, and was recently withdrawn. The author even admits he was wrong. There isn't a single shred of evidence linking vaccinations to autism. It's as realistic as the "man never walked on the moon" and 9/11 conspiracy theories.

YOU're the idiot for not believing that prayers can be answered... Or was it just her prayers you don't believe were heard? GOD has a sensitive ear to the prayers of the righteous.

- Friday 12 MarchBy PandNick
I think all who judge a person with the valor and strength like Jen McCarthy, no matter what you your conception of her are just wrong. I admire her for spreading the word and creating awareness about Autism with her case. Shame on people who judge her without knowing what she has gone through. I thought my son was typical until doctors told me ohterwise and that was all due to not being aware of Austism. I believe only people who have dealt with Autistic children by profession or are parents of an autistic child can only understand. We should concentrate on the disorder and not what people think of Jen's character.

No-one here is saying it so I will... HER son got better when she stopped shoving him off on some non-English speaking nanny & started raising him herself....DUH!!!!!

Raise your kids... be with them every day... how much STUFF do you need... cook for the kids, sit with them after school, help them with homeowrk, be in their lives every day... take STRANGERS...especially PAID strangers OUT of their lives... see just how autistic they are.

Recipe for animal repellant?
Does anyone have a "sure-fire" recipe for a homemade spray to repel wood chucks and /or rabbitts? I have been buying the red-hot pepper wax spray and it is getting costly.
Any suggestions?
What the state Division of Wildlife here recommends is 1 or 2 eggs and a teaspoon of cheap chicken bouillon in a gallon, sprayed all over and all around the plants that need protecting. Food processor it up, and run it through a strainer, or it will clog the sprayer. Needs to be re-applied after rain.
It does work pretty well on deer, rabbits, chipmunks, and squirrels after greens.
Not so good for raccoons or skunks.
Yes! this works. It is from Jerry Baker
1/2 cup Murphy's Oil Soap
1/2 cup lemon scented dishwashing liquid
1/2 cup castor oil
1/2 cup lemon scented ammonia
1/2 cup extra hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup of urine
(I actually reduced the castor oil part, as it is pretty expensive. I only used maybe 1/4 cup at most. I didn't use good hot sauce either, just some cheap stuff I found at a Chinese store. Also cheap dish soap from dollar store or whatever.)
Mix these ingredients together in a 20 gallon hose end sprayer, then apply to the point of run-off to any flowers or shrubs that need protecting.
I actually use a watering can.
I don't know the proportion-- Just guess, and it works fine. Reapply after rain, of course.
Good luck!
Which ingredients have the repellent property? What compound/s are present in these ingredients that give them the repellent property?

Missouri, Kansas Reject Health Exchanges
By Elana Gordon
Originally published on Tue November 13, 2012 6:36 am
Immediately after last week's election, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced the state would not be setting up its own health insurance exchange. Next door in Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback announced that Kansas will have no involvement in running a state exchange either. The moves open the door for increased federal involvement in health care in staunchly Republican territory.

A new Facebook application, FlickLaunch, promises to let filmmakers sell video-on-demand directly to viewers, and will let them like-gate their content in order to generate buzz before switching to a pay-per-view model. But the whole setup bears a striking resemblance to ill-fated MySpace-based MP3-merchant Snocap, notes Janko Roettgers, and should be treated with caution by marketers. "Facebook may be a great platform that has much to offer for the media business. But it won't help you sell things no one wants to buy," he writes.

Winning a state championship is quite an accomplishment, and completing a season at 27-0 is phenomenal. This great group of young ladies handled themselves with class on and off the court. Coach Ronnie Robinson and his staff provided great direction and leadership. In short, he is the type of man you want your kids to be around.
People who commit acts of cruelty toward animals should have to face harsh consequences, said Mary Reimers, president of the Humane Society of Lancaster.

Article: Associations between renal impairment and anemia in older, rural Japanese men: the Nagasaki Island study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Renal impairment is known to be associated with atherosclerosis, which in turn is reported to be positively associated with hemoglobin levels. In addition, renal impairment is known to be associated with a form of anemia known as renal anemia. To clarify the associations between renal impairment and anemia, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 1,105 60 to 89-year-old men, who were not taking medication for anemia and were undergoing general health check-ups. Compared with non-chronic kidney disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was found to constitute a significant risk of anemia. However, we noted that this risk was lower for mild renal impairment (60 mL/min/1.73 m2 <= GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2). Compared with the non-CKD reference group, the classical cardiovascular adjusted odds ratio (OR) for anemia was 1.81 (1.23 to 2.68) and compared with the normal renal function (GFR >=90 mL/min/1.73 m2) reference group, the ORs for mild renal impairment and CKD were 0.26 (0.15 to 0.47) and 0.60 (0.33 to 1.09). Independent from classical cardiovascular risk factors, CKD, which was identified during general health check-ups, appeared to constitute a significant risk of anemia for older Japanese men. For mild renal impairment, however, this association was a reduced risk of anemia and thus possibly a higher risk of atherosclerosis.Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 04/2014; 33(1):7.

Article: Falls Are Associated with Stroke, Arthritis and Multiple Medications among Community-Dwelling Elderly Persons in Japan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Falls are a major public health problem and the second leading cause of death due to unintentional accidental injury after road traffic accidents. Inactive, older individuals with several chronic illnesses fall more frequently than older individuals who are active and healthy. No population-based study has addressed the association of stroke, arthritis, hypnotic and other prescription medications with falls among the elderly simultaneously in a single population in Japan. We examined the prevalence of falls among community-dwelling elderly Japanese individuals, whom we randomly selected from a list of inhabitants aged ≥ 65 years compiled from the resident registration, and the associations between falls and each of stroke, arthritis, and hypnotic and other prescription medications. We interviewed 295 men and 307 women, and collected information about the number of falls during the latest one year, hemiplegia due to stroke, arthritis in the legs, and the number of hypnotic and other medications. We found that 46 men (16%) and 67 women (22%) had fallen at least once during the latest one year. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for age showed that hemiplegia due to stroke (p < 0.001), arthritis in the legs (p < 0.001), and taking at least four daily prescription medications (p < 0.05) were significantly associated with falls in men. Arthritis in the legs (p = 0.05) and taking at least four daily prescription medications (p < 0.05) were associated with falls in women. Treatment of fall-related diseases and medication management are important strategies for reducing falls among elderly persons.The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine 12/2013; 231(4):299-303.

Article: Association of spinal inclination with physical performance measures among community-dwelling Japanese women aged 40 years and older[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: AimSpinal inclination assesses spinal posture as a whole. However, the association between spinal inclination and physical performance has not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association of spinal inclination with physical performance measures. Methods The participants were 107 Japanese women aged 40-84years. Spinal posture was assessed as inclination to a perpendicular line by using a computer-assisted device. Increased inclination value means forward inclination of the spine. Physical performance was measured by using the following methods: 6-m walking time, chair stand time, functional reach, Timed Up & Go Test, and grip strength. Information on participants' comorbidities, osteoporosis, knee joint pain, back pain, falls in the previous year, regular exercise and usage of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), was also collected. ResultsPearson's correlation analysis showed significant associations between spinal inclination and all of the physical performance measures. Pearson's partial correlation analysis adjusted for age showed significant associations of increased inclination with poor physical functioning in 6-m walking time, chair stand time, functional reach, and Timed Up & Go Test, but not in grip strength. Linear regression analysis adjusted for age, grip strength, number of comorbidities, osteoporosis, knee joint pain, back pain, falls in previous year, regular activity and taking NSAIDs showed that spinal inclination was associated with poor function in 6-m walking time, chair stand time, functional reach and Timed Up & Go Test. Conclusion Forward spinal inclination was associated with impairment in various physical performance measures. Proper prevention and treatment of underlying disorders should be prompted.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Between July and September 2005, a preliminary sampling of the elderly population of Hizen-Oshima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan was conducted by the local hospital's nursing staff. RESULTS: Reported here are preliminary results from this sample of 27 individuals with an average age of 71 years. Their ages ranged from 51 to 82 years, with a standard deviation (sd) of 7.4 years. In total, 33 aspects of physical and physiological variation were assessed on these 15 women and 12 men. As expected from previous studies of Japanese elders, our sample shows slightly elevated average blood pressure (142/81 mmHg, sd 16/10), but they are relatively lean (waist/hip = .9: sd 0.06) when compared to European or American standards. However, their average total cholesterol (TC = 210 mg/dl, sd = 42.8) is high compared to standards, as is their high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc = 55.4 mg/dl, sd = 15.1). Means, standard deviations (sd), ranges, and upper bounds for quartile cut-points for all 10 variables used in the calculation of allostatic load (AL) were assessed. The overall average estimate for AL in this sample is 3.1 (sd = 1.58) and ranges from 1-7. CONCLUSION: AL shows variability across men and women, has little correlation with age, and is associated with physiological variation in blood glucose, dopamine, and uric acid.Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 06/2012; 31(1):18.

Article: Factors Predicting Health-related Quality of Life in Knee Osteoarthritis Among Community-dwelling Women in Japan: The Hizen-Oshima Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Knee osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disorder in elderly people. However, a population-based, longitudinal study on health-related quality of life in knee osteoarthritis has not been conducted in Japan. We studied 333 women aged 50 years and older at baseline, with 8 to 9 years of follow-up. Anteroposterior weight-bearing knee radiographs were obtained at baseline and graded according to the Kellgren-Lawrence criteria. Definite osteoarthritis was defined as Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 or higher in at least 1 joint. At baseline, all participants were asked if they had knee pain and comorbidities (heart disease, lung disease, stroke, or diabetes mellitus). Height (m), weight (kg), and chair stand time were measured. At follow-up, quality of life in knee osteoarthritis was evaluated using the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure score. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, knee osteoarthritis, knee pain, comorbidity, and increasing chair stand time were independently related to subsequent health-related quality of life. These findings suggest that treating knee osteoarthritis and comorbidities, managing pain, and optimizing lower extremity muscle strength may be effective targets for intervention.Orthopedics 09/2011; 34(9):e535-40.

Article: Association between C677T/MTHFR genotype and homocysteine concentration in a Kazakh population.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We recently suggested that due to insufficient intake of vegetables, low folate status and mild homocysteinemia might exist in the Kazakh population. To clarify the determinants of homocysteine concentrations among this population, we determined concentrations of serum folate, albumin, creatinine, vitamin B12, and the C677T/ MTHFR genotype in 110 Kazakh individuals and compared these with plasma total homocysteine. In Kazakh, after adjustment for age and sex, folate was correlated with plasma total homocysteine, whereas concentrations in those with the TT genotype was almost twice as high as in those with the CC and CT genotypes (19.7+/-1.8 micromol/L vs. 10.7+/-0.5 micromol/L, p<0.001). Our results suggest that the C677T/MTHFR genotype is associated with homocysteine concentrations in this population and this association might be affected by other factors, such as folate status.Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition 01/2008; 17(2):325-9. · 1.36 Impact Factor
Article: Influence of work duration or physical symptoms on mental health among Japanese visual display terminal users[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study examined the relationship of work duration or physical symptoms to the mental health of visual display terminal (VDT) workers in Japan. The mental health status of 2,327 VDT users at an administrative office was investigated using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Subjects were asked about their age, sex, hours of daily VDT use, rest and breaks during VDT work, eyestrain, and musculoskeletal pain. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations with mental health status (GHQ-12 scores). The mean age of subjects was 39.5 yr (SD=10.3). Among all subjects, 36.7% could rest during VDT work and 66.9% received breaks during VDT work. The proportion of subjects who reported eyestrain and musculoskeletal pain were 19.6% and 25.7%, respectively. Eighteen percent of subjects were classified into a GHQ-12 high score group. Logistic regression analysis showed that age less than 40 yr, not receiving breaks during VDT work, and the presence of eyestrain and musculoskeletal pain were significantly associated with poor mental health status (high GHQ-12 scores). Using a VDT for more than 5 h/d and being female were also marginally associated with high GHQ scores (p<0.1). In conclusion, the management of physical health as well as work duration is important for good mental health status among VDT users.Industrial Health 05/2007; 45(2):328-33.

Article: The influence of visual display terminal use on the physical and mental conditions of administrative staff in Japan.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Visual display terminals (VDT) are standard equipment for many office workers. Their use, however, may increase the risk of developing adverse conditions related to vision, the musculoskeletal system, and mental health. We carried out a survey among 3070 workers aged 18 to 67 years (mean, 39.9 years) at a prefectural administrative office, in which 76% of subjects were visual display terminal (VDT) users. We examined the relationship between duration of daily VDT use and eyestrain, neck or upper extremity pain, back pain, and mental health, and estimated the effect of breaks and rest during VDT work on these symptoms. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12: total scores ranged from 0 to 12) was used to identify potential poor mental health status, and subjects with 4 or more were considered to have symptoms of psychological distress. Seventeen percent of subjects reported eyestrain, 19.1% reported upper extremity pain, 11.6% reported back pain, and 17% of subjects had GHQ-12 scores of 4 or higher. Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of daily VDT use and lack of breaks and rest during VDT work were significantly associated with eyestrain, neck or upper extremity pain, back pain, and psychological distress. In order to protect users from the adverse effects associated with VDT work, reducing daily VDT exposure, taking breaks, and rest during VDT work are important.Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 04/2007; 26(2):69-73.

Article: Evaluation of cardiovascular risk factors and related clinical markers in healthy young Japanese adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Since atherosclerosis is a slowly progressive process at a young age, effective preventive measures should be taken early in life to prevent future events associated with cardiovascular disease. The study population comprised 132 young Japanese adults (mean age 21.4 years, range 18-31 years). We screened plasma total homocysteine and serum folate levels and evaluated mean carotid intima-media thickness and cardio-ankle vascular index. Multiple regression analysis after adjustment for age and sex revealed that only folate levels were significantly correlated with plasma total homocysteine levels (beta=-0.37, p=0.028). Carotid intima-media thickness adjusted for age and sex and compared between quintiles of total homocysteine levels was significantly increased in the highest quintile compared with other quintiles. Cardio-ankle vascular index increased with age in both women and men, but no additional determinants were identified in young adults. Serum folate is an independent determinant of plasma total homocysteine levels, and mild hyperhomocysteinemia may represent a risk factor for increased carotid intima-media thickness, even in young adults. Comprehensive health education from the early period of life, including the suggestion of appropriate dietary measures, is important for effective prevention of future atherosclerosis.Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine 02/2007; 45(2):220-5.

ABSTRACT: Although hyperhomocysteinemia is considered to be a key risk factor for atherosclerosis, especially in Western countries, its role in the Asian population is still controversial. In this study, we evaluated the determinants of homocysteine and carotid intima-media thickness, a clinical marker for the detection of atherosclerosis, in Japanese. In 289 Japanese adults (age 37-86 yrs), we screened plasma total homocysteine by high performance liquid chromatography and evaluated maximum carotid intima-media thickness by ultrasound. Other blood chemistry values were also measured. Total homocysteine levels were higher in men than in women and increased with age. In multiple regression analysis, adjusted for age and sex, serum creatinine was a powerful determinant of homocysteine (beta = 3.3, p < 0.01). Maximum carotid intima-media thickness was higher in men than in women and increased with age. When adjusted for age and sex, systolic blood pressure was independently correlated with maximum carotid intima-media thickness (beta = 0.001, p < 0.01). Our current results support previous findings that in addition to age and sex, serum creatinine and systolic blood pressure are independent determinants of homocysteine and carotid intima-media thickness, respectively.Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition 02/2007; 16(4):698-703. · 1.36 Impact Factor
Article: Obesity and cardiovascular risk factors among men and women aged 40 years and older in a rural area of Japan.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity is one of the most common health problems, and is recognized worldwide as an "escalating epidemic." For the establishment of an obesity-prevention strategy in Japan, it is important to assess the association between obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, we conducted anthropometric measures of obesity and investigated the association of obesity with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among community-dwelling men (N=85) and women (N=173) aged 40 years and older. Height, weight, and waist circumference (WC) were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Subjects with a BMI> or =25 kg/m(2) were considered obese (BMI obesity), while men with a WC> or =85 cm and women with a WC> or =90 cm were classified as obese (WC obesity). In the present study, we defined 'obesity' as a BMI> or =25 kg/m(2) or a WC> or =85 cm for men, and a BMI> or =25 kg/m(2) or a WC> or =90 cm for women. The results of an age- and sex-adjusted logistic regression analysis indicated that BMI obesity was associated with dyslipidemia (p=0.04), WC obesity was associated with dyslipidemia (p=0.07), and 'obesity' was associated with diabetes (p=0.06) and dyslipidemia (p=0.01). These results emphasize the importance of preventing obesity in Japan. Therefore, healthcare professionals should measure BMI and WC in order to enhance their assessment of cardiovascular risk.Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 11/2006; 25(6):371-5.

Article: Determinants of self-rated health among community-dwelling women aged 40 years and over in Japan.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In developed countries, the elderly population is growing rapidly. Self-rated health is an important indicator of health and has been the focus of a number of aging studies. However, little is known about the possible differences in determinants of self-rated health according to age. Self-rated health and its possible determinants were examined in 542 community-dwelling Japanese women aged 40 to 91 years. The proportion of women with poor self-rated health increased with age. Approximately half of the women had poor self-rated health among women aged 80 years and over. We used multiple logistic regression analysis to examine the association with poor self-rated health in women aged 40 to 64 years (n = 248) and 65 years and over (n = 294). Lower physical activity and a greater number of comorbidities were associated with poor self-rated health for ages 40 to 64 and 65 years and over. Furthermore, the risk of poor self-rated health increased by 1.5-fold with every increase in the number of painful joints in the lower extremities for the 40- to 64-year-old age group, and increased by 2-fold with back pain for those 65 years and over. The determinants of self-rated health were similar in both middle-aged and elderly Japanese women. Our results could contribute to effective interventions to improve quality of life among Japanese women.The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine 10/2006; 210(1):11-9.

Article: Physique, body composition and maximum oxygen consumption of selected soccer players of Kunimi High School, Nagasaki, Japan.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the physical and physiological ability of selected soccer players of Kunimi High School in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The Kunimi team is famous for its intensive training, and had won the championship of the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament six times by 2003. We measured physique, body composition, and maximal oxygen uptake of 72 members aged between 16 and 18 years old between 1986 and 1994. They consisted of 66 outfield players (12 forward players, 23 midfielders, 31 defenders) and 6 goalkeepers. Body density was measured by the under-water weighing method, and Brozek's equation was applied to calculate percentage body fat (%Fat, %), fat-free mass (FFM, kg), FFM/height (FFM/Ht, kg.m(-1)), and FFM index (FFM/Ht(3), kg.m(-3)). The following results were obtained: 1. The average of 66 outfield players was 172.7 cm of height, 64.6 kg of weight, 54.0 cm of girth of thigh, and 90.0 cm of girth of hip, 9.3% of %Fat, 58.6 kg of FFM, 33.9 kg.m(-1) of FFM/Ht and 113.8 kg.m(-3) of FFM index. The mean vital capacity was 4.25 L and total lung capacity was 5.58 L. The mean maximal ventilation was 138.7 L.min(-1), VO(2)max was 3.95 L.min(-1), and VO(2)max/Wt was 61.4 ml.kg(-1).min(-1). 2. Goalkeepers were taller and heavier than outfielders, and had a smaller mean value of VO(2)max/Wt than outfielders (p<0.01). 3. For 23 out of the 72 players measured twice with an interval of about one year, FFM increased and %Fat reduced significantly, while V(E)max, VO(2)max and VO(2)max/Wt did not change. Kunimi players of the present study had as large a VO(2)max/Wt as local players, and a similar or slightly smaller VO(2)max/Wt than national-level players. They had similar %Fat and a similar VO(2)max/Wt with professional soccer players in England (Davis et al., 1992) while they had much smaller physiques.Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 08/2006; 25(4):291-7.

ABSTRACT: In order to be able to take preventative measures early in life against the development of atherosclerosis, it is important to evaluate profiles of subclinical atherosclerosis, especially among young adults. We screened plasma homocysteine levels, highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels and carotid intima-media thickness in young and elderly adults. Among both young and elderly adults, plasma homocysteine and highly sensitive C-reactive protein were significantly lower in females than in males. Highly sensitive C-reactive protein was significantly lower in young adults than in elderly adults, and homocysteine was lower (but not significantly) in young adults than in elderly adults. Among young adults, mean carotid intima-media thickness was lower (but not significantly) in females than in males. Among elderly adults, mean carotid intima-media thickness was significantly lower in females than in males. Among both males and females, mean carotid intima-media thickness was significantly higher in elderly adults than in young adults. These results demonstrate basic profiles of atherosclerosis markers in young and elderly Japanese adults. Further study is needed to evaluate measures developed for application in early adulthood to prevent atherosclerosis.Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine 02/2006; 44(7):824-9.

Article: Relationship between falls and physical performance measures among community-dwelling elderly women in Japan.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The relationship between falls and physical performance has focused on the frail elderly who have several health problems, particularly those in nursing homes or care facilities. It is important to clarify the relationship between falls and physical performance among the community-dwelling elderly. We examined the relationship between falls and physical performance measures (grip strength, chair stand time, functional reach, usual walking speed) among 402 community-dwelling Japanese elderly women aged 60 years and over. Overall prevalence of falls was 21.1%, and increased with age. In univariate analysis, grip strength and functional reach were not significantly different between women who did and did not fall. Chair stand time of women who fell was longer than that of women who did not (p = 0.05), and the usual walking speed of women who fell was significantly slower than that of women who did not fall (p < 0.0001). Physical functioning significantly decreased with age; grip strength, functional reach and usual walking speed decreased, and chair stand time increased. Logistic regression analysis, adjusting for age and other covariates, showed that slower usual walking speed was significantly associated with falls, but grip strength and functional reach were not. Increased chair stand time had a borderline association (p = 0.1). Our findings indicate that poor lower extremity function, especially walking ability, is an important risk factor for falls in elderly Japanese community-dwelling women.Aging clinical and experimental research 06/2005; 17(3):211-6.

ABSTRACT: Body sizes at birth are important clinical indicators widely used for evaluation of prenatal growth. Japan had significant socioeconomic improvement around the 1960s, and these environmental changes may influence physiologically prenatal growth. Furthermore, in Japan, measurements of size at birth for birth certificates are weight and height. Thus, we can refer to annual data on weight and height, but not on head and chest circumference at birth. In this study we measured the weight, height, and head and chest circumference at birth among 6,563 Japanese singleton healthy infants, annually in 1962 and 1988, and examined secular trends of these anthropometric measurements. The boys consistently exceeded the girls in all four variables. Birth weight and height increased significantly from the 1960s to '70s, but did not differ between the '70s and '80s in both boys and girls. Secular trends of head and chest circumference were different from them. In both boys and girls, head and chest circumference increased significantly from the '60s to the '70s, but decreased significantly from the '70s to the '80s. No difference of head circumference during the '60s and '80s was found, but the difference of chest circumference was found. Size at birth was likely to increase from the '60s to '70s in Japan. These findings suggest that the environmental changes such as socioeconomic improvements influence the prenatal growth.Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY and Applied Human Science 10/2004; 23(5):155-61.

Article: Effects of lifestyle factors on stiffness index of calcaneus measured by quantitative ultrasound system among Japanese women aged 40 years and over: the Hizen-Oshima Study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To explore how the stiffness index of the calcaneus is related to lifestyle factors, we examined the associations of lifestyle factors, age, and years since menopause, with stiffness index of the calcaneus among 573 community-dwelling Japanese women aged 40-89 years. Stiffness index of the calcaneus was obtained from quantitative ultrasound measurement. Body height and weight were measured, from which body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Physical activity index was calculated using a validated questionnaire. Dietary calcium intake and amount of ingested alcohol were estimated by a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Current smoking status was obtained by questionnaire. In univariate analysis, stiffness index was positively related to physical activity index and BMI, and inversely to age and years since menopause, but not to dietary calcium intake. Stiffness index of drinkers and current smokers was not significantly different from that of non-drinkers and non-smokers, respectively. Among the natural menopausal women, multiple regression analysis showed that advancing age and years since menopause were associated with lower stiffness index, while higher physical activity index and greater BMI were associated with higher stiffness index. In conclusion, higher physical activity, in combination with adequate nutrition for weight maintenance, should be emphasized as a part of a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain bone health among middle-aged and elderly Japanese women.The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine 11/2003; 201(2):97-107.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the impact of obesity on joint pain, we examined the association of body mass index (BMI) with joint pain. 351 community-dwelling Japanese women aged 40-85 years were asked about joint pain at specific joints, and height and weight were measured. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate BMI and other potential predictors of joint pain. BMI was positively associated with knee pain, but not with pain at other specific joints, after adjusting for age. The association of BMI with knee pain remained significant after adjustment for an additional covariate (physical activity). We also examined the associations of age, BMI, and regular physical activity with joint pain at any site, in the arm, in the leg, or in the back. Independently of age and regular physical activity, BMI was positively associated with joint pain in the leg, but not with pain at any site, in the arm or in the back. No significant association of physical activity with joint pain at any site, in the arm, in the leg or in the back was found. Knee pain was associated with greater BMI. This finding supports previous longitudinal studies, suggesting that some knee pain could be prevented by avoidance of excess weight, if the association is causative. However, the association was not very strong; thus, it is likely that many cases of knee pain cannot be avoided by weight reduction only, and may require other interventions.Aging clinical and experimental research 11/2002; 14(5):378-81.
