The securities industry introduced a similar system in January 2013. Each bank can now use the NPA database through the government-affiliated Deposit Insurance Corp.

Of Japan (DICJ) to find out if an applicant for a housing or other loan is a gang member. From the database, the DICJ receives information on whether the loan applicant is a gangster, a quasi-member or has no ties to yakuza groups. A quasi-member does not belong to a gangster organization but is involved in the group’s activities. For cases in which the applicant is a member or a quasi-member, the DICJ will ask prefectural police for confirmation. If mob ties are confirmed, the DICJ will relay the information to each bank, and the banks can reject the loan application. In a long-running campaign to put the squeeze on organized crime, laws have been tightened and ordinances adopted around the country to ban business transactions with gangsters. Banks have created their own databases on yakuza based on police information and media reports.

The JBA worked out model provisions to prevent gangster organizations from conducting loan transactions in November 2008 and from opening and using bank accounts in September 2009.

'We found that familial longevity was associated with lower levels of vitamin D and a lower frequency of allelic variation in the CYP2R1 gene, which was associated with higher levels of vitamin D,' writes Dr. Diana van Heemst, Department of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands, with coauthors. Previous studies have shown that low levels of vitamin D are associated with increased rates of death, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, allergies, mental illness and other afflictions. However, it is not known whether low levels are the cause of these diseases or if they are a consequence. To determine whether there was an association between vitamin D levels and longevity, Dutch researchers looked at data from 380 white families with at least 2 siblings over age 90 (89 years or older for men and 91 year or older for women) in the Leiden Longevity Study.

The study involved the siblings, their offspring and their offsprings' partners for a total of 1038 offspring and 461 controls. The children of the nonagenarians were included because it is difficult to include controls for the older age group. The partners were included because they were of a similar age and shared similar environmental factors that might influence vitamin D levels.
