Participants who self-identified as Japanese or non-Hispanic White (NHW) were included. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association between immigration generation of Japanese descendants and the risk of GC overall and by anatomical subtype, adjusting for demographic, dietary, and lifestyle variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 94,232 individuals (median age: 61\u00a0years; male 47.4%), 716 primary GC cases were identified. The risk of developing GC was higher among all three generations of Japanese descendants compared to NHWs. First generation had the highest risk (HR: 4.62, 95%\u00a0CI 3.24\u20136.59), followed by the second generation (US-born, with both parents Japan-born; HR: 3.66, 95%\u00a0CI 2.89\u20134.64; US-born, with one parent Japan-born, HR: 3.39, 95%\u00a0CI 2.55\u20134.50), and the third generation (HR: 2.57, 95%\u00a0CI 1.93\u20133.42). The association was more pronounced among non-cardia GC, with HRs of 5.89, 4.49, and 3.27 for the first, second, and third generations, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GC risk declined across successive generations of Japanese descendants but remained significantly higher than in NHWs.
