Although the age-adjusted incidence and mortality of cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been decreasing steadily in Japan, both diseases remain major contributors to morbidity and mortality along with the aging society. Herein, we aim to provide a prescription of 10 health tips for long and healthy life named the "Lifelong Health Support 10 (LHS10)."
The LHS10 was developed by the preventive medicine specialists at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Suita, where it has been used for health guidance to prevent CVD, cancer, and cognitive decline in addition to their major risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. It consisted of the lifestyle modification recommendations of the 2014 Japanese Society of Hypertension guidelines and the 2017 Japan Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines for preventing atherosclerotic CVD. Further, it came in line with other international lifestyle modification guidelines. In this narrative review, we summarized the results of several Japanese epidemiological studies investigating the association between the LHS10 items and the risk of cancer, CVD, and other chronic diseases including dementia, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
The LHS10 included avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, engaging in physical activity, refraining from excessive alcohol drinking, reducing fried foods and sugary soft drinks, cutting salt in food, consuming more vegetables, fruits, fish, soy foods, and fibers, and maintaining proper body weight. All items of the LHS10 were shown to reduce the risk of cancer, CVD, and other chronic diseases.
The LHS10 can be a helpful tool for health guidance.
尽管日本癌症和心血管疾病（CVD）的年龄调整发病率和死亡率一直在稳步下降，但随着人口老龄化，这两种疾病仍然是发病率和死亡率的主要原因。在此，我们旨在提供 10 个健康小贴士，以促进长寿和健康生活，名为“终生健康支持 10（LHS10）”。
LHS10 由大阪吹田市的国立心肺血管中心的预防医学专家开发，除了高血压、糖尿病和肥胖等主要危险因素外，它还用于预防 CVD、癌症和认知能力下降的健康指导。它由 2014 年日本高血压学会指南的生活方式改变建议和 2017 年日本动脉粥样硬化学会预防动脉粥样硬化性 CVD 指南组成。此外，它符合其他国际生活方式改变指南。在这篇叙述性评论中，我们总结了几项日本流行病学研究的结果，这些研究调查了 LHS10 项目与癌症、CVD 和其他慢性疾病（包括痴呆、糖尿病和慢性肾病）风险之间的关联。
LHS10 包括避免吸烟和二手烟暴露、进行身体活动、避免过量饮酒、减少油炸食品和含糖软饮料、减少食物中的盐、多吃蔬菜、水果、鱼类、豆制品和纤维，以及保持适当的体重。LHS10 的所有项目都显示出降低癌症、CVD 和其他慢性疾病的风险。
LHS10 可以成为健康指导的有用工具。
