The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between body fat distribution measured by CT scan and related risk factors with the risk of incident metabolic and cardiovascular disease in a prospective cohort study of Japanese men and women. The investigators will also investigate novel risk factors for metabolic and cardiovascular disease using molecular weight-based metallomics analysis.
Obesity is on the rise worldwide and is the most important risk factor for lifestyle-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hyperuricemia, and chronic kidney disease. In addition, it has been reported that the distribution of fat is more important than the total amount of fat in the body, and the importance of visceral fat accumulation in the abdomen has been reported.
Although visceral fat accumulation and insulin resistance have been reported to be important upstream factors in the development of lifestyle-related diseases, the major target organs of insulin are not only adipose tissue, but also extremely important tissues such as muscle and liver, and ectopic fat accumulation in these tissues has attracted attention. However, there are few prospective cohort studies that have evaluated fat accumulation in adipose tissue, liver, and muscle simultaneously.
It has been reported that Japanese people have more visceral fat than Caucasians in the United States, even at the same body mass index level, and are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, so research on Japanese people is of great importance.
In addition, the role of trace elements in the body is attracting attention. In this cohort study, the investigators will also examine the relationship between trace elements in the body and the prevalence and incidence of lifestyle-related diseases.
The purpose of this study is to establish a prospective cohort study that evaluates visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, intrahepatic fat accumulation, and intramuscular fat using computed tomography imaging and to clarify the relationship with lifestyle-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hyperuricemia, and chronic kidney disease.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed based on the results of a fasting blood glucose test and medication history. | Type 2 diabetes at baseline and follow-up examination is defined if the fasting plasma glucose level is ≥126 mg/dL, if the A1c level is ≥6.5%, or if the participant is taking medications or using injectables such as insulin to lower blood glucose levels at the baseline and follow-up examinations. | Investigators plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. |
| Hypertension is diagnosed based on the results of blood pressure measurement and medication history. | Hypertension is diagnosed if the systolic blood pressure is ≥140 mmHg, the diastolic blood pressure is ≥90 mmHg, or the participant is taking antihypertensive medications. | Investigators plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. |
| Dyslipidemia is diagnosed based on the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines. | Dyslipidemia is diagnosed based on the following criteria:Total cholesterol: ≥200 mg/dL (high); LDL cholesterol: ≥130 mg/dL (high); HDL cholesterol: <40 mg/dL (low in men), <50 mg/dL (low in women); or triglycerides: ≥150 mg/dL (high). | Investigators plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. |
| Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed based on the Joint Interim Statement published in Circulation. 2009 Oct 20;120(16):1640-5. | An individual is diagnosed with metabolic syndrome if they meet three or more of the following criteria:
Fasting blood glucose ≥100 mg/dL, or receiving treatment for elevated blood glucose. |

| Investigators plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. |
| Hyperuricemia is defined based on fasting serum uric acid levels and the use of oral medication. | Hyperuricemia is diagnosed if the fasting serum uric acid levels is >7.0 mg/dL for men, >7.0 mg/dL for women, or if the participant is taking uric acid-lowering medication. | Investigators plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. |
| Low eGFR was define based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study equation for Japanese. | Low eGFR was defined if eGFR was less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m², regardless of the presence of proteinuria. | Investigators plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. plan to conduct follow-up examinations at intervals of one to two years. |
