Gait variables derived from trunk accelerometry may predict the risk of falls; however, their associations with falls are not fully understood. The purpose study was to determine which gait upper and lower associated incidence falls, compare discriminative ability physical performance.This a 1-year prospective study. Older people (n = 73) walked normally while wearing accelerometers attached trunk. Participants were classified as fallers 16) or non-fallers 57) based on over 1 year. harmonic...
Many musculoskeletal pain conditions are characterized by hypersensitivity, which is induced central sensitization (CS). A questionnaire, the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), was recently developed to help clinicians identify patients whose presenting symptoms may be related sensitivity syndrome (CSS). The aims of present study were examine criterion validity and construct Japanese version CSI (CSI-J), investigate prevalence rates CS severity levels in with disorders.Translation into...
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after esophagectomy have been reported to occur in 15.9-30% of patients and lead increased postoperative morbidity mortality, prolonged duration hospital stay, additional medical costs. The purpose this retrospective cohort study was investigate the possible prevention PPCs by intensive preoperative respiratory rehabilitation esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy. subjects included 100 (87 males 13 females with mean age 66.5 ± 8.6 years)...
The Longevity Improvement & Fair Evidence (LIFE) Study, which was launched in 2019, is a multi-region community-based database project that aims to generate evidence toward extending healthy life expectancy and reducing health disparities Japan. Herein, we describe the LIFE Study's design baseline participant profile.Municipalities participating Study provide data from government-administered insurance enrollees public assistance recipients. These participants cover all disease types age...
This study aimed to investigate the association between abdominal adiposity and change in cognitive function community-dwelling older adults.
Aim To translate the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire ( SNAQ ) into J apanese, and assess its reliability validity in Japanese community‐dwelling older adults. Methods A total of 84 adults people aged 65 years or were included present study, those with a M ini‐ ental S tate E xamination score <24, had dementia, digestive disease who did not complete examination excluded. The was translated apanese according to an internationally accepted methodology. internal evaluated by C...
To date, very little is known about the nature of sarcopenia in subjects with cognitive impairment. The aims this study were firstly to clarify prevalence at various stages impairment, and secondly examine factors related men women impairment.The 418 outpatients (normal cognition; NC: 35, amnestic mild impairment; aMCI: 40, Alzheimer disease; AD: 343) who attended Memory Clinic National Center for Geriatrics Gerontology Japan during period from October 2010 July 2014. Cognitive status,...
Although physical activity maintenance is important for OA management, it not clear whether people with are more inactive or not. One possible reason no simple monitoring tool to assess at the clinic. The aim of this study was determine reliability and validity Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire (BQ) in adult women hip disorders. Sixty-four patients unilateral bilateral disorders were recruited from an outpatients clinic a university hospital Japan. BQ includes total 16 questions...
Inadequate sleep is correlated with morbidity and mortality among older adults. However, the longitudinal relationship between subjective quality risk of falls in elderly population remains to be clarified.Study participants were from Locomotive Syndrome Health Outcome Aizu Cohort Study (LOHAS) sites (1,071 community-dwelling people ≧65 years age, mean: 71 years). Subjective was measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Occurrence (defined as experiencing at least one fall) during...
Fear of falling (FoF) is common in older adults. Physical activity decreases as FoF increases. However, this association between physical and may vary depending on intensity. The current study was performed to explore the associations step count, light-intensity (LPA), moderate/vigorous-intensity (MVPA) community-dwelling adults.This cross-sectional observational held at a local community center, with 242 adults living independently (mean age: 75.1 ± 5.4 years). defined using Falls Efficacy...
Aim To investigate the association between decline of basic activities daily living (ADL) in each dimension and change caregiver burden patients with mild‐to‐moderate Alzheimer's disease. Methods This retrospective study included 117 outpatients disease who presented to Memory Clinic at National Center for Geriatrics Gerontology Japan September 2010 April 2014 (mean age 77.3 ± 6.4 years; 68.6% women). Patients their caregivers completed comprehensive geriatric assessment baseline 3‐year...
The National Health and Nutrition Survey consistently assesses the prevalence of exercise habits, step counts, sedentary behaviors in a strategically selected random sample Japanese population. aim this study was to provide descriptive epidemiological data on average frequency daily behavior among adults from 2003 2019 using database Japan. Data were obtained electronically available aggregate reports official survey website. To prepare for third term Japan 21, scheduled start 2024, we...
T cells contribute to immunotherapy and autoimmune pathogenesis Langerhans (LCs) have a substantial ability activate cells. In vitro -generated monocyte-derived LCs (Mo-LCs) are useful models study LC function in diseases test future LC-based immunotherapies. Although dendritic (DCs) expressing high levels of Delta-like 4 (DLL4 + DCs), which is member the Notch ligand family, greater than DLL4 − DCs cells, induction method human has yet be determined. The aim this establish whether Mo-LCs...
The toe flexor muscles perform a crucial function to control foot movement and assist with propulsive force when walking. However, the association between strength spatio-temporal gait parameters is largely unknown. Spatiotemporal represent characteristics, are good measures of functional status degree safe ambulation among community-dwelling older adults. Herein, we examined spatiotemporal in adults.Ninety-three people (mean age: 73.2 ± 4.2 years, 53 women) participated this study. was...
Abstract Background Central sensitization (CS) is found in patients with musculoskeletal disorders and related to clinical symptoms, including pain‐related disability. The Sensitization Inventory (CSI) has been developed for who are at risk of symptoms CS, CSI severity levels suggested interpretation the score. However, longitudinal relationship between disability unclear primary care. In this study, we investigated association profiles as well care settings. Methods A total 553 were...
Physical inactivity is recognized as a pandemic health problem. The association of pain with physical activity, particularly when measured objectively, in older adults unclear. This study investigates the number chronic musculoskeletal sites and severity objectively activity community-dwelling adults. Observational study. Community. We analyzed 267 (mean age = 75.3 years, 67.0% women). Number were using self-reported questionnaire. Mean steps per day mean minutes light moderate to vigorous...
Prognosis-related information regarding dementia needs to be updated, as changes in medical and long-term care environments for patients with recent decades may improving the prognosis of disease.We aimed investigate mortality, cause death, prognostic factors by types a Japanese clinic-based cohort.The National Center Geriatrics Gerontology-Life Stories People Dementia consists clinical records data who visited Memory Clinic Japan. Patients attended clinic between July 2010 September 2018,...
