1.小児・思春期生活習慣病の概念(表 1) 本来成人病の概念は,死亡原因から癌,心臓病,脳 卒中など,有病率から高血圧,2型糖尿病,高脂血症, 肥満など,疾患を早期に発見・治療する「2次予防」に 重点をおいたものであった.一方,小児・思春期成人 病の概念は,成人病が小児・思春期に発症したもの, またはその起源が小児期にあると考えられる疾患とし て,疾患の発生を予防する「1次予防」に重点を置いて きた.すなわち,silent disease である動脈硬化を引き 起こすであろう疾患である高脂血症,高血圧,2型糖尿 病,肥満などであり,有病率からみた成人病の概念に 一致する. 1996 年,厚生省から「成人病」から「生活習慣病」へ の改称が提唱された.最初違和感があったこの呼び名 も定着しつつある.生活習慣病の概念は,小児・思春 期成人病と同様に「1次予防」に主眼をおいたものであ り,そ...

Helicobacter pylori infection and related gastrointestinal diseases.

Helicobacter pylori has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of digestive tract disorders, such as chronic active gastritis, peptic ulceration, gastric cancer, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Disease outcome is dependent on many factors, including bacterial genotype, host physiology and genetics, and environmental factors such as diet. Researchers continue to explore ...

NO-Rich Diet for Lifestyle-Related Diseases

Decreased nitric oxide (NO) availability due to obesity and endothelial dysfunction might be causally related to the development of lifestyle-related diseases such as insulin resistance, ischemic heart disease, and hypertension. In such situations, instead of impaired NO synthase (NOS)-dependent NO generation, the entero-salivary nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway might serve as a backup system for NO ...
