%0 Journal Article %T Decreasing Systolic Blood Pressure Is Associated with Improving Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) with Lifestyle Modification in Japanese Healthy Women %A Miyatake %A Nobuyuki %A Shikata %A Kenichi %A Makino %A Hirofumi %A Numata %A Takeyuki %J Acta Medica Okayama %D 2010 %I Okayama University Medical School %X The link between changes in a subject's metabolic syndrome components and her estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was evaluated in healthy Japanese women. We used data for 53 Japanese women (46.0¡À10.9 years) with a 1-year follow up. eGFR was defined by a new equation developed for Japan. There were no significant relationships between eGFR and clinical parameters at baseline. Subjects were given advice for dietary and lifestyle improvement. At the 1-year follow up, eGFR was significantly increased. In addition, changes in eGFR were weakly correlated with systolic blood pressure(r£½£­0.306, p£½0.0260). A decrease in systolic blood pressure may be associated with improving eGFR in Japanese women. %K systolic blood pressure %K estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) %K metabolic syndrome %K lifestyle modification %U http://ousar.lib.okayama-u.ac.jp/file/40510/64_5_339.pdf
