Methods: We initiated a cohort study among school children in 2011 to primarily investigate the associations between lifestyle and environmental factors and some surrogate markers of chronic diseases, such as cardiometabolic risk factors (ie, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, insulin, or lipids) and cancer risk factors (ie, height and age at menarche). A baseline questionnaire asked for information, including demographic variables, medical history and use of medication, dietary habits, physical activity, sleep habits, and behavioral and emotional problems of children. Follow-up surveys are planned for the fourth grade of elementary school and the first grade of junior high school. At these follow-up surveys, fasting blood samples will be obtained to measure cardiometabolic markers. We also checked the validity of a food frequency questionnaire, which was originally created for 6-year-olds but was modified for use in older children. Results: A total of 3,141 first-year students at elementary schools in Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture, participated in the study. The response rate was 87.4%. The means of age and body mass index were 6.99 (standard deviation, 0.28) years and 15.3 (standard deviation, 1.7) kg=m2, respectively, in the 3,067 Japanese children (1,639 boys and 1,428 girls). Conclusions: This cohort will reveal determinants of cardiometabolic risk factors and cancer risk factors during childhood.

To date, epidemiologic research has focused primarily and cancer, are major causes of death among Japanese. The early on adult populations. Several child cohort studies are now life environment is now recognized as a key factor contributing to ongoing in Japan.12–19 However, the accumulating evidence for susceptibility to these diseases later in life.1,2 This hypothesis has the role of early life exposures is still insufficient. In particular, proven difficult to test, as disease outcomes occur decades later. dietary intake has not been commonly assessed in previous cohort However, the use of proxy outcomes that lie on the causal studies, probably because there are few questionnaires validated pathway linking an exposure to the risk of the diseases could for use among Japanese children.20,21 We launched the Hekinan potentially identify important predictors or determinants of later Children’s Health Study in 2011 to primarily investigate the health and disease.3 Several epidemiologic studies have shown associations between lifestyle and environmental factors and that the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood, and surrogate markers of chronic diseases, such as cardiometabolic individual cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, blood risk factors and cancer risk factors, among school children in pressure, blood lipid, and glucose levels, tend to persist over time Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture. Our study pays special attention from childhood to adulthood.4–8 Established risk factors for to the potential role of diet as a determinant of these surrogate certain cancers emerge in the early stages of life: for example, endpoints.

They were a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for use in follow-up on scored as 0 for 0 minutes to 4 for ≥60 minutes, and the sum of participants’ diet. these scores was regarded as the physical activity score (the maximum score was 40).

    Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Summary: Japan should completely phase out coal by 2030. █ Coal-fired power generation emits more carbon dioxide (CO2) than any other method of generating electricity. In order to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) as called for under the Paris Agreement, it is crucial to quickly decarbonize our energy sources. According to several research reports, that means we need to completely phase Japan Coal Phase-Out: out coal power plants, which obviously means halting new coal plant construction and also strategically retiring existing plants. For coal-fired power generation in Japan, the country must cancel all current planning for new construction, and also retire all existing coal The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 power plants by 2030 █ There were 117 units at existing coal power plants in Japan as of April 2018, based on Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Japan Coal Phase-Out: government statistics and publicly available information, and this number includes many older and inefficient plants that have been operating over 40 years.
