| relationship among prevalence of patients with itai-itai disease, prevalence of abnormal urinary findings, and cadmium concentrations in rice of individual hamlets in the jinzu river basin, toyama prefecture of japan. | this study investigated the associations among prevalence of patients with itai-itai disease, and prevalence of abnormal urinary findings and cadmium (cd) concentrations in rice in individual hamlets of the jinzu river basin. from the 13,183 participants of the 1967 and 1968 health examinations, we selected 3,094 subjects as the target population who had resided in the current hamlet for a total of 30 years or longer and aged >/=50 years, and in the hamlet both the cd concentration in rice and p ... | 2004 | 15369989 |
| allowable level of lifetime cadmium intake calculated from the individuals in the jinzu river basin of japan. | we investigated a dose-response relationship between renal dysfunction and lifetime cadmium intake in individual subjects using logistic regression analysis and calculated the allowable level of lifetime cadmium intake among the inhabitants of the jinzu river basin. from the participants of 1967 and 1968 health examinations, target subjects in whose hamlet the cadmium concentration in rice was known and whose history of residence was also known were selected. cadmium concentrations in rice from ... | 2003 | 14716083 |
| epidemiology of renal tubular dysfunction in the inhabitants of a cadmium-polluted area in the jinzu river basin in toyama prefecture. | urinary beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1-m), amino-nitrogen, glucose, calcium, phosphorus, cadmium concentrations, and ph values were analyzed in urine samples from 187 females aged 55-66 years in the jinzu river basin, which is known to be a cadmium-polluted area, and from 32 controls living in two adjacent reference areas in 1983-1984. mean urinary beta 2-m, alpha 1-m, amino-nitrogen, glucose, cadmium concentrations and ph values in the inhabitants of the jinzu r ... | 1987 | 2442848 |
| a retrospective study on the relation between renal dysfunction and cadmium concentration in rice in individual hamlets in the jinzu river basin, toyama prefecture, japan. | using as an index of exposure the cd concentration in rice and as an index of health effect the urinary abnormality rate (proteinuria, glycosuria, and proteinuria with glycosuria) in the most systematic and extensive health screening examination conducted in 1967 and 1968 in the jinzu river basin, japan (a total of 13,183 subjects), we investigated whether a dose-response relationship exists between the two indices. for subjects that lived in the same hamlet since birth, with low cd concentratio ... | 2001 | 11386741 |
