日本护士健康研究（JNHS）是一项前瞻性职业队列研究，旨在调查生活方式和保健实践对女性健康的影响。它于2001年启动，进入期为6年，拟议的后续行动为10年。参与者包括女性注册护士，执业护士，公共卫生护士和助产士，年龄在25岁或以上的基线调查。参与者是与日本护理协会和日本更年期协会合作招募的。分发了一份自我管理的基线问卷，要求提供人口统计学信息、生活方式因素、药物使用、身体状况、生殖健康和病史。来自日本所有47个都道府县的49 914名妇女对基线调查作出了答复。其中，约有18，000人同意接受随访，并返回了签署的知情同意书以及填写的基线问卷。现在将研究生活方式，医疗保健，疾病发病率和健康结果随时间的变化。该队列通过邮件收到年度JNHS通讯和两年一次的后续调查问卷。
The Japan Nurses' Health Study (JNHS) is a prospective occupational cohort study investigating the effects of lifestyle and healthcare practices on women's health. It was initiated in 2001, with a six-year entry period and a proposed ten-year follow-up. Participants comprise female registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, public health nurses, and midwives, aged 25 yr or over at the baseline survey. Participants were recruited in cooperation with the Japanese Nursing Association and the Japan Menopause Society. A self-administered baseline questionnaire was distributed, requesting demographic information, lifestyle factors, pharmaceutical drug use, physical condition, reproductive health, and disease history. A total of 49,914 women from all 47 prefectures in Japan responded to the baseline survey. Among them, approximately 18,000 agreed to be followed-up, and returned signed informed-consent sheets, together with their completed baseline questionnaires. Changes in lifestyle, healthcare, incidence of disease, and health outcomes over time will now be studied. The cohort receives annual JNHS newsletters and biennial follow-up questionnaires by mail.
