| Abstract | Objectives: The objectives of the present analyses were to examine if Cd and tubular dysfunction marker levels in urine show age-dependent changes among women who lived in areas with no known cadmium (Cd) pollution in Japan, and if the trends would be further modified by correction of analyte concentration in terms of urinary creatinine (CR or cr) or urine specific gravity (SG or sg). Methods: The results of urinalysis for Cd, α1-microglobulin (α1-MG), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) concentrations together with CR and SG were cited from previously established databases. A majority of urine samples were collected in 2000–2002 from adult women (mostly at 40–60 years of age) in various areas in Japan, and the collection was supplemented by cases of ≧60-year-old women in 2003. In total, 11,090 never-smoking cases were subjected to statistical analysis. The values as observed (e.g., Cdob), together with after correction for CR (e.g., Cdcr) or SG (e.g., Cdsg), were examined by linear regression analysis after logarithmic conversion. Results: The geometric mean (GM) values for Cd were 1.10 μg/l (as observed) or 1.32 μg/g cr (after correction for creatinine concentration). No increases were found in the levels of α1-MG, β2-MG or NAG on a group basis, in agreement with the conditions that there was no known environmental pollution with Cd in the sampling areas. There were almost linear increases in logarithm of Cd, α1-MG, β2-MG and NAG concentrations as age advanced. As CR, and to a lesser extent SG, also decreases steadily throughout life (Ikeda et al. 2005; Moriguchi et al. 2005), the correction of the analyte concentrations for urine density induced substantial increases in the analyte values; i.e., the correction by CR and SG induced amplification of the increases by two- and 1.4-times, respectively, compared with the increase in non-corrected observed values. Conclusions: There were age-related increases in Cd and tubular dysfunction markers in urine among women in areas with no known Cd pollution. The increase was amplified two- or 1.4-times when CR or SG correction was applied, respectively. The observation suggests that care should be practiced in applying CR or SG correction, especially when evaluation of Cd exposure and resulting health effects is made among elderly populations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
