Description

本発明は、唾液検査を用いた生活習慣病判定方法に関する。より詳細には、ドクターの診断をまたずとも被験者が自ら判定を行える支援方法である。   The present invention relates to a lifestyle-related disease determination method using a saliva test. More specifically, this is a support method in which a subject can make a determination himself without diagnosing a doctor.

従来から、体液(血液、尿、唾液など)の酸化還元電位を測定し、病気や痛みの度合いを数値化し、健康値と疾病値の数値ゾーンを示して、被験者の健康と酸化還元電位値の健康目安を示すことが知られている(特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, the redox potential of body fluids (blood, urine, saliva, etc.) is measured, the degree of illness or pain is quantified, the numerical value zone of the health value and disease value is shown, and the health and redox potential values of the subject are measured. It is known to show a health standard (see Patent Document 1).

また、脂溶性ビタミンなどの生体内移行を唾液から測定することが知られている(特許文献2参照)。   It is also known to measure in vivo migration of fat-soluble vitamins and the like from saliva (see Patent Document 2).

また、血液と唾液中のそれぞれのヒト脳型プロスタグランジンD合成酵素の濃度を測定し、虚血性疾患の検出をすることが知られている(特許文献3参照)。   It is also known to detect ischemic disease by measuring the concentration of each human brain type prostaglandin D synthase in blood and saliva (see Patent Document 3).

また、従来の唾液検査の問題点として、日内変動、日間変動、個人差が大きいと考えられている。また、口腔内病変の影響も受けることがあり、血液検査のように唾液検査のデータのみでは基準が決めにくいと考えられる。   Further, it is considered that there are large daily fluctuations, daily fluctuations, and individual differences as problems of the conventional saliva test. In addition, it may be affected by intraoral lesions, and it is considered that it is difficult to determine a standard based only on saliva test data as in blood tests.

そこで、唾液検査における唾液採取の方法を確立し、唾液検査でも血液検査のように判断基準を設定することが求められている。ところで、上記特許文献1から3は唾液と血液中の同じ成分を測定しており、同じ成分同士での相関を見ているにすぎず、唾液中の成分と異なる血液の成分とを測定しておいて、それらの相関を求めるものではない。   Therefore, it is required to establish a method for collecting saliva in the saliva test, and to set a judgment standard in the saliva test as in the blood test. By the way, the above-mentioned patent documents 1 to 3 measure the same component in saliva and blood, and only look at the correlation between the same components, and measure the components in blood different from the components in saliva. However, the correlation between them is not obtained.

本発明は、上記の課題に鑑みてなされたものであって、唾液に関する所定の第1測定結果(例えば所定成分の測定値)と、前記唾液に関する所定の第1測定結果とは異なる、血液に関する所定の第2測定結果(例えば所定成分の測定値)とをそれぞれ測定して互いの相関を予め求め、この相関を用いて、日々の唾液検査から生活習慣病(予備軍、進行状況を含む)を判定することができる生活習慣病判定支援方法を提供する。   This invention is made in view of said subject, Comprising: The predetermined | prescribed 1st measurement result (for example, measured value of a predetermined component) regarding saliva differs from the predetermined | prescribed 1st measurement result regarding the said saliva regarding blood A predetermined second measurement result (for example, a measured value of a predetermined component) is measured to obtain a correlation with each other in advance, and a daily-related saliva test is used to determine a lifestyle-related disease (including reserve forces and progress). A lifestyle-related disease determination support method is provided.

本実施形態において以下に説明するが、本発明は以下の内容に限定されるものではない。   Although the present embodiment will be described below, the present invention is not limited to the following contents.

(相関関係の構築)
まず、唾液と血液の相関関係を構築する。唾液提供者から健康診断データ、問診データを得て、健常者であることを確認する。血液サンプルと各種測定値は、健康診断の測定値を利用する。唾液の採取方法は以下の通りである。まず、昼食後に歯磨きをし、その後2時間後の15時に唾液サンプルを採取する。これを、5日間連続で行う。
(Creation of correlation)
First, the correlation between saliva and blood is constructed. Obtain health checkup data and interview data from the saliva provider and confirm that they are healthy. The blood sample and various measurement values use the measurement values of the health checkup. The method for collecting saliva is as follows. First, brush your teeth after lunch, then take a saliva sample at 15:00, 2 hours later. This is done for 5 consecutive days.

(唾液検査)
採取した唾液サンプルの測定を行う。pH測定は、各種pH測定器を用いることができ、例えば堀場製作所製の「Twin pH」が挙げられる。また、アミラーゼ測定は、各種アミラーゼ測定器を用いることができ、例えば二プロ製「唾液アミラーゼモニター」が挙げられる。IgA測定は、ELISA法による唾液中に含まれる抗体あるいは抗原の濃度を定量検出する。ELISA法は一般的な手法である。唾液サンプルは、上記採取方法で24名から5日間採取する。極端に外れたデータは用いないものとできる。表1に5日間唾液サンプルの平均pH、平均アミラーゼ値、平均IgA値を示す。空欄は唾液サンプル量が少なく測定できなかったためである。
(Saliva test)
The collected saliva sample is measured. Various pH measuring devices can be used for pH measurement, and examples thereof include “Twin pH” manufactured by Horiba. In addition, various amylase measuring instruments can be used for amylase measurement, for example, Nipro's “saliva amylase monitor”. In IgA measurement, the concentration of antibody or antigen contained in saliva by ELISA is quantitatively detected. The ELISA method is a general method. Saliva samples are collected for 5 days from 24 people by the above collection method. Extremely deviating data can not be used. Table 1 shows the average pH, average amylase value, and average IgA value of the 5-day saliva sample. This is because the amount of saliva sample was small and could not be measured.

Figure 2014041096

(唾液検査結果と血液検査結果との相関関係)
まず、唾液サンプル全体(5日間平均値)についてピアソン相関係数の検定を行う。2変量の間の関連度合いを測る指標である相関係数を求め、相関係数の有意性を検定する。つまり、母相関係数ρ=0を検定することで帰無仮説:「2変量の間に相関はない」を検定する。また、母相関係数ρの100(1−α)%信頼区間を表示し、ρの信頼区間に0が含まれないとき、ρ≒0を意味し、すなわち検定は有意であり、2変量の間に相関があるとみることができる。ここでは、具体的には相関関係の結果と判定は、相関係数を算出し、P値を算出し、信頼区間を算出する。P値において危険率5%以内であれば相関有意性があると判定する。
(Correlation between saliva test results and blood test results)
First, the Pearson correlation coefficient is tested for the entire saliva sample (average value over 5 days). A correlation coefficient that is an index for measuring the degree of association between two variables is obtained, and the significance of the correlation coefficient is tested. That is, the null hypothesis: “no correlation between two variables” is tested by testing the population correlation coefficient ρ = 0. Also, the 100 (1-α)% confidence interval of the population correlation coefficient ρ is displayed, and when 0 is not included in the confidence interval of ρ, it means that ρ≈0, that is, the test is significant, and the bivariate It can be seen that there is a correlation between them. Specifically, in the correlation result and determination, a correlation coefficient is calculated, a P value is calculated, and a confidence interval is calculated. If the risk value is within 5% in the P value, it is determined that there is a correlation significance.

表4は、pHが高群の人のIgAと尿酸値の相関、アミラーゼが低群の人のIgAと尿酸値の相関、酸化還元電位が低群の人のIgAと尿酸値の相関、血糖値が低群の人のIgAと尿酸値の相関を示している。それぞれの指標の全データの平均値を境に高群と低群とに分けた。pHの高群において、IgAと尿酸との相関係数が「−0.866」と絶対値が1に近づき、その高群において低群よりも高い相関が認められた。また、アミラーゼの低群において、IgAと尿酸との相関係数が「−0.941」と絶対値が1に近づき、その低群において高群よりも高い相関が認められた。また、血液サンプル全体の血糖値の平均値を境に高群と低群とに分け、血糖値の高群において、IgAと尿酸との相関係数が「−0.843」と絶対値が1に近づき、その高群において低群よりも高い相関が認められた。また、唾液サンプル全体の酸化還元電位の平均値を境に高群と低群とに分け、酸化還元電位の低群において、IgAと尿酸との相関係数が「−0.979」と絶対値が1に近づき、その低群において高群よりも高い相関が認められた。なお、酸化還元電位は、塩化銀電極(基準極)と白金電極(作用極)による電気化学測定法によって測定される。   Table 4 shows the correlation between IgA and uric acid levels in people with high pH, correlation between IgA and uric acid levels in people with low amylase, correlation between IgA and uric acid levels in people with low redox potential, blood glucose levels Shows the correlation between IgA and uric acid levels in the low group. The average value of all data of each index was divided into high group and low group on the boundary. In the high pH group, the correlation coefficient between IgA and uric acid was “−0.866”, and the absolute value approached 1, and a higher correlation was observed in the high group than in the low group. In the low group of amylase, the correlation coefficient between IgA and uric acid was “−0.941” and the absolute value approached 1, and a higher correlation was observed in the low group than in the high group. In addition, the blood glucose level is divided into a high group and a low group on the basis of the average blood glucose level of the whole blood sample. In the high blood glucose group, the correlation coefficient between IgA and uric acid is “−0.843” and the absolute value is 1. The higher group showed a higher correlation than the lower group. In addition, the average value of the redox potential of the whole saliva sample is divided into a high group and a low group, and in the low group of the redox potential, the correlation coefficient between IgA and uric acid is “−0.979” and an absolute value. Was close to 1, and a higher correlation was observed in the low group than in the high group. The oxidation-reduction potential is measured by an electrochemical measurement method using a silver chloride electrode (reference electrode) and a platinum electrode (working electrode).

(判定フロー)
上記の結果から、相関関係が予め得られる。次に、被験者の唾液を検査するために、唾液サンプルを採取する。唾液採取は上記と同じ採取方法が好ましく、検査したい日の歯磨後数時間後(例えば15時)が好ましい。次いで、採取した唾液を測定する。例えば、pH測定器で唾液サンプルのpHを測定する。また、アミラーゼ測定器で唾液サンプルのアミラーゼを測定する。また、ELISA法でIgAを測定する。次に、上記で測定された各種測定値と、上記で予め得られている相関関係に基づき、生活習慣病を判定する。判定された結果は、出力される。出力は、例えば、モニター表示、他の記憶媒体への保存、印刷、他の情報処理装置への送信などが挙げられる。
(Judgment flow)
From the above results, the correlation is obtained in advance. Next, in order to examine the saliva of the subject, a saliva sample is collected. Saliva collection is preferably performed in the same manner as described above, and preferably several hours after dentifrice on the day to be examined (for example, 15:00). Next, the collected saliva is measured. For example, the pH of the saliva sample is measured with a pH meter. Further, amylase in the saliva sample is measured with an amylase measuring instrument. Moreover, IgA is measured by ELISA method. Next, lifestyle-related diseases are determined based on the various measured values measured above and the correlation obtained in advance. The determined result is output. Examples of the output include monitor display, saving to another storage medium, printing, transmission to another information processing apparatus, and the like.

本実施形態では、pHまたはアミラーゼから高脂血症が判定できる。また、pHとアミラーゼに基づいて同じ高脂血症が判定できるが、いずれか一方の指標でのみ高脂血症が判定された場合には、低いレベルで高脂血症性であると判定され、両指標で高脂血症が判定された場合には、高いレベルで高脂血症性であると判定することができる。すなわち、異なる2指標を用いて段階的に判定をすることができる。   In this embodiment, hyperlipidemia can be determined from pH or amylase. Also, the same hyperlipidemia can be determined based on pH and amylase, but if hyperlipidemia is determined only by one of the indicators, it is determined to be hyperlipidemic at a low level. When hyperlipidemia is determined by both indices, it can be determined that the hyperlipidemia is at a high level. That is, the determination can be made step by step using two different indexes.

また、IgAから通風が判定でき、アミラーゼから高血圧であるか否かを判定できる。   Moreover, ventilation can be determined from IgA, and it can be determined from amylase whether it is hypertension.

また、pHとIgAあるいはアミラーゼとIgAの相関関係から、pHまたはアミラーゼに基づいて通風を判定できる。また、pHまたはアミラーゼに基づいて(IgAとの相関関係を介して)同じ痛風が判定できるが、いずれか一方の指標でのみ通風が判定された場合には、低いレベルで通風であると判定され、両指標で痛風が判定された場合には、高いレベルで通風であると判定することができる。これによればIgAの測定をすることなく、通風を判定できる。   Further, ventilation can be determined based on pH or amylase from the correlation between pH and IgA or amylase and IgA. The same gout can be determined based on pH or amylase (via correlation with IgA), but if ventilation is determined only with one of the indicators, it is determined that the ventilation is at a low level. When gout is determined by both indicators, it can be determined that the ventilation is at a high level. According to this, ventilation can be determined without measuring IgA.

また、pHとIgAあるいはアミラーゼとIgAの相関関係から、IgAからも高脂血症を判定できる。すなわち、3指標に基づいて高脂血症を判定することができる。   Hyperlipidemia can also be determined from IgA based on the correlation between pH and IgA or amylase and IgA. That is, hyperlipidemia can be determined based on the three indices.

以上、本実施形態によれば、血液検査によらず、唾液に関する測定結果と、予め求められている血液と唾液との相関関係から、生活習慣病を簡単に判定できる。
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily determine a lifestyle-related disease from the measurement result related to saliva and the correlation between blood and saliva obtained in advance, regardless of the blood test.
