Abstract Background Social frailty is associated with poor health outcomes; however, its effects on healthy aging indicators have not been adequately investigated. This study assessed the longitudinal association between social and intrinsic capacity of community-dwelling older adults. Methods A total 663 participants (56.7% women) aged ≥60 years from in Nagoya, Japan, were included study. The first measurement occurred 2014, annual follow-ups until 2017. was determined based four items:...
This position paper prepared by the Japanese Working Group on Integrated Nutrition for Dysphagic People (JWIND) aims to summarize need nutritional management in adult patients with dysphagia, issues that nutrition professionals should address, and promising approaches as well propose a vision future of care dysphagia. JWIND is joint certification system recognized Japan Dietetic Association Society Dysphagia Rehabilitation; its members are mostly experts known "Certified Specialist...
The effects of social frailty on diet and nutrition are under-investigated. Our study aimed to assess the association between quality, quantity, over a 3-year period in community-dwelling older Japanese adults. This prospective cohort recruited individuals aged ≥60 years from community college followed up 666 participants annually. Social was determined using 4-item questionnaire. Diet quantity (energy macronutrient intake) quality (dietary diversity score Quality Index-International) were...
The association of Japanese and Mediterranean dietary patterns with muscle weakness in middle-aged older individuals is unclear. This cross-sectional study investigated the between community-dwelling, middle-aged, (enrolled from 2007 to 2011). Based on consumption information obtained brief self-administered diet history questionnaire, we assessed adherence (12-component revised index (rJDI12)) (alternate (aMed) score) patterns. Muscle was defined as handgrip strength <28 <18 kg for men...
Nutritional support effectively prevents and treats sarcopenia; however, the influence of overall dietary patterns on sarcopenia parameters is less investigated. This study aimed to determine association between adherence Mediterranean-style diet (MD), Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH), Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top (JFG-ST), modified JFG-ST (mJFG-ST) muscle mass, strength, physical performance in community-dwelling elderly.
This study investigated the usefulness of frailty for predicting adverse events in patients with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) during hospitalization using data obtained from Japanese health insurance system.This retrospective cohort VCFs aged ≥65 years was conducted a nationwide database Japan. We examined relationships between risk, classified Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS), in-hospital mortality, and complications such as pressure ulcers pneumonia. Multivariate logistic...
Neighborhood physical characteristics have been consistently associated with the health of older adults. This article investigates links between frailty and perceptions neighborhood environment. Using a cross-sectional analysis 370 community-dwelling adults from Nagoya, Japan, were assessed using Environmental Walkability Scale (NEWS) in addition to frailty, index. Frailty was NEWS composite index, land use mix diversity, access, street connectivity, walking infrastructure, aesthetics, crime...
Patients with end-stage renal failure may exhibit sarcopenia and protein-energy wasting (PEW). We report a case of improvement in physical function, muscle mass, strength by management rehabilitation nutrition maintenance hemodialysis patient PEW sarcopenia. A 60-year-old man an 8-year history dialysis was admitted for pneumococcal meningitis. When he transferred 36 days following the onset, to our hospital hemodialysis. On admission, energy intake 1200 kcal/day, via nasogastric tube, due...
Japanese diet adherence has been inversely correlated with muscle weakness. In this study, we aimed to validate that association. Longitudinal data from 1699 individuals aged ≥50 years (mean age 62.5 ± 6.9 years, 50.4% female) at two time points (2007 and 2011) were used. Participants without weakness several regions in Japan included. The 12-component revised Diet Index (rJDI12) classified by tertiles assessed the dietary pattern. Muscle was defined as a handgrip strength of ˂18 kg for...
Older adults, especially those with cognitive decline, often have poor gait performance, which results in clinical outcomes due to falls or decreased daily physical activity. The effects of various exercises on performance been studied, whereas the short-term and long-term different exercise modalities remain unknown.To compare short- aerobic training (AT), resistance (RT), combined (CT) community-dwelling older adults subjective decline (SCD).A four-arm, randomized controlled trial.388 SCD...
維持血液透析患者のprotein-energy wasting (PEW) の実態とPEWとの関連因子を検討した. 透析導入後6か月以上409例の合併症, 身体計測値, 血液検査, 食事摂取量を調査. 国際腎疾患栄養代謝学会による区分に従いPEWを判定し, Logistic回帰分析により関連因子を求めた. 年齢64±11歳, 透析歴8 (3~14) 年, 高血圧合併74.3%, BMI 21.1±3.4kg/m2, 血清Alb 3.7±0.3g/dL, エネルギー30±6kcal/kg IBW, たんぱく質1.01±0.22g/kg IBWであった. PEWは3項目以上該当17.1%, 年齢, 透析歴, 高血圧がPEWとの独立した背景因子であった. 食品群別摂取量との関連は, 肉類, 魚介類, 砂糖類摂取量が独立因子となった. さらにROC解析によるカットオフ値 (肉類46.7g, 魚介類41.7g, 砂糖類9.0g) 未満の摂取のオッズ比は肉類2.74 (95%CI 1.55-4.85, p=0.001), 魚介類2.04 1.16-3.61, p=0.014),...
