Frailty and All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality in Japan

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
In aging societies, there is an increasing focus on the concept of frailty. However, there is no consistent means to assess this concept. We assessed frailty using the Kihon Checklist (KCL), which is widely used in Japan, and examined the association between frailty and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Japan, the most aged society in the world.

Ozone and cause-specific cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality

Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2009
Background Health effects of ozone have been observed in numerous studies. However, analyses of more cause-specific morbidity or mortality outcomes have rarely been performed. A study was undertaken to determine the short-term associations of ozone with cause-specific cardiorespiratory mortality and morbidity by age

Cause Specific Mortality of Coal Miners

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1977
The purpose of this study was to compare the cause specific mortality of the U.S. coal miner to the mortality of the total U.S. male population. A 10% sample was taken of those men covered by the United Mine Workers Health and Retirement Funds on January 1, 1959, and the resultant 23,232 miners were followed through December 31, 1971.

High temperatures and cause-specific mortality

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2011
High ambient temperatures are hazardous, with a significant body of research documenting increases in morbidity and mortality during hot weather.1 And yet, every heat-related death is preventable. Improving understanding of who is most vulnerable, where they are located and early warning systems that effectively communicate the risks of hot ...

Race, Socioeconomic Status, and Cause-Specific Mortality

Annals of Epidemiology, 2000
Life expectancy for black Americans is five to eight years less than for Whites. The socioeconomic status (SES) of Blacks is also less than for Whites, and SES is associated with early mortality. This paper estimates the proportion of the racial difference in mortality attributable to SES by specific causes of death.Data on 453,384 individuals in the ...

Cause specific mortality following cerebral infarction

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 1989
Mortality from four causes (index stroke, subsequent stroke, cardiac disease and non-cardiovascular causes) was examined during a 5 year follow-up of 1694 cerebral infarction patients admitted to 25 community hospitals between 1969 and 1973. The hazard for mortality from the index stroke was high initially, but declined to a negligible level by 6 ...

Cause-specific mortality in adults with atopic dermatitis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2018
Adult atopic dermatitis (AD) has been associated with several comorbidities, but cause-specific mortality risk is unknown.To examine cause-specific death rates and risk in adults with AD.We performed cross-linkage of nationwide health care and cause of death registers. Adult patients with AD were matched with 10 controls per study subject.

Cause-specific mortality among neurosurgeons

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2010
Object The authors sought to determine a cause-specific mortality profile for US neurosurgeons during the period 1979–2005. Methods Neurosurgeons who died during the study period were identified from the Physician Master File database. Using the National Death Index, the reported cause of death was identified for 93.7% of decedents.

The temporal trend of cause-specific mortality

2022
Background Despite being two Baltic countries with similar histories, Estonia and Lithuania have diverged in life expectancy trends in recent years. We investigated this divergence by comparing cause-specific mortality trends. Methods We obtained yearly mortality data for individuals 20 + years of age from 2001-2019 (19 years worth of data) through ...
