Disease Cohort Studies Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores disease prevention and optimal medical care through healthcare data and cohort studies.
AboutAbout the lab
Using data to think about disease prevention and medical care.
The Disease Cohort Studies Lab analyzes big data from healthcare and conducts clinical research aimed at preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension.
By combining clinical epidemiology with methods for analyzing healthcare data, the lab studies the relationships among patients' conditions, medical practices, prognosis, and medical costs, with the aim of finding the optimal approach to medical care.
In its stroke disease cohort, the lab uses genome and proteome analysis to elucidate the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and to develop new preventive medicine.
The Center for Cohort Studies, to which the lab belongs, has long carried out cohort studies.
Key terms
- Cohort study
- An epidemiological method that follows a group of people over a long period to explore the causes and treatments of disease
- Proteome
- The entire set of proteins in a cell or tissue; its analysis is used to study the mechanisms of disease
- Sleep apnea syndrome
- A disorder in which breathing stops or becomes shallow during sleep
ResearchResearch themes
The Disease Cohort Studies Lab combines clinical epidemiology with big data analysis of healthcare data, aiming to find the optimal approach to medical care. It also elucidates the pathophysiology of stroke and develops new preventive medicine, and conducts clinical research aimed at preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension.
*Illustrative imageFinding optimal medical care from healthcare data
The lab merges clinical epidemiology with big data analysis of healthcare data to unravel the complex relationships among patients' conditions, medical practices, prognosis, and medical costs, and to find the optimal approach to medical care.
*Illustrative imageGenome and proteome analysis of stroke
In its stroke disease cohort, the lab conducts genome and proteome analysis. It aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and to develop new preventive medicine.
*Illustrative imagePrevention research on lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension
The lab conducts clinical research aimed at preventing hypertension, other lifestyle-related diseases, and atherosclerotic diseases. Its research themes from April 2022 to March 2025 include the effects of sleep debt and sleep apnea syndrome on blood pressure and organ damage in young and middle-aged men.
*Illustrative imageEstablishing a stroke database
The lab conducts research on establishing a stroke database and on elucidating the pathophysiology of stroke. The work is carried out as a multicenter collaborative study.
