Professor Ehab S. Eshak's research lab focuses on nutritional epidemiology and the role of micronutrients in chronic disease prevention, particularly type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The lab investigates the impact of dietary intake of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, as well as seafood and lifestyle factors like smoking, on long-term health outcomes. Using large-scale prospective cohort studies in Japanese populations, the lab explores how maternal nutrition during pregnancy influences fetal development and offspring health. The research emphasizes evidence-based public health interventions to address misconceptions and improve preventive strategies.

Job lost men and women and reemployed men had increased risks for both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke incidence and mortality.
Recent studies have shown that micronutrients are involved in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. Antioxidant effects of vitamins C and B2 and homocysteine-lowering effects of vitamins B6, folate and B12 may have protective roles. However, a few reports have investigated the association between dietary water-soluble vitamin intakes and risk of diabetes. In a prospective study encompassing 19 168 healthy Japanese men and women aged 40-79 years, we examined the associations between dietary intakes o
Maternal diet during pregnancy can influence fetal growth; however, the available evidence is controversial. We aimed to assess whether maternal diet of Japanese women in mid-pregnancy can affect their offspring's birth size via collection of questionnaire and medical record data. The studied sample was a large cohort of paired mothers and their singleton offspring (n 78 793) from fifteen areas all over Japan who participated in the Japan Environment and Children's Study. The mid-pregnancy intak
The role of fat-soluble vitamins in the pathology of type 2 diabetes needs further research. Possible protective effects could be expected for vitamins A and E via their antioxidant properties, vitamin K via its modulating effects on cytokines and insulin resistance and vitamin D via the enhancement of insulin sensitivity. However, the evidence on association between fat-soluble vitamins from diet and risk of diabetes is limited. Therefore, among 19 168 healthy Japanese of both sexes aged 40-79
Myths about contraceptives are common in women in Minia and may have a significant effect on their choice and use of contraceptive method. Reproductive health programmes to refute such misguided beliefs are recommended.
