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,...
Abstract This study aims to develop and validate prediction models for the number of all heatstroke cases, heatstrokes hospital admission death cases per city 12 h, using multiple weather information a population-based database patients in 16 Japanese cities (corresponding around 10,000,000 population size). In testing dataset, mean absolute percentage error generalized linear with wet bulb globe temperature as only predictor optimal models, respectively, are 43.0% 14.8% spikes 37.7% 10.6%...
Abstract Comparing biomarker profiles measured at similar ages, but earlier in life, among exceptionally long-lived individuals and their shorter-lived peers can improve our understanding of aging processes. This study aimed to (i) describe compare ages between 64 99 eventually becoming centenarians peers, (ii) investigate the association specific values chance reaching age 100, (iii) examine what extent have homogenous life. Participants population-based AMORIS cohort with information on...
The interaction of cosmic ray neutrons and boron is demonstrated as the dominant source alpha particles other radiations in electronic devices utilizing borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG). A simple process modification proposed to significantly reduce this intense ionizing radiation without compromising reflow passivation properties BPSG.
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...
Abstract BACKGROUND The number of people with dementia is increasing in Japan, and establishing evidence for preventing necessary. METHODS This study was a randomized controlled trial cognitively normal community‐dwelling older adults aged 65 to 85 diabetes and/or hypertension. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 ratio. intervention group underwent 90 min group‐based weekly physical exercise, cognitive training, nutritional counseling, vascular risk management 18 months. primary endpoint...
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...
Percutaneous veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is utilized for patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. However, the procedure protocol weaning from VA-ECMO has not been well established. The present study aimed to determine usefulness of echocardiographic and pulmonary artery catheter parameters predicting successful in refractory shock.We retrospectively studied 50 who were hospitalized supported by >48 h between January 2013 March 2017. Patients...
Malnutrition is common in older adults, and contributes to the risk of falls functional impairment. Gait performance also impairment; however, association between malnutrition gait remains unclear. The purpose present study was investigate performance.The participants included 204 community-dwelling adults with a mean age 73.4 ± 4.3 years. Nutritional status evaluated using short version Mini-Nutritional Assessment. A score 11 points used as cut-off, were categorized into two groups: ≤11,...
The association between prolonged delirium during hospitalization and long-term prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) has not been fully elucidated.
Presenteeism (work productivity loss at work) and low back pain (LBP) are prevalent among eldercare workers. is a serious emerging problem in an occupational setting. While many studies report the impact of pain-related fear on absenteeism, its presenteeism remains unclear.We conducted cross-sectional study to investigate association between 505 workers with LBP. We measured using 11-item Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11). used Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) estimate due items...
Study Design. Retrospective study. Objective. To investigate the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy and persistent low back pelvic pain (LBPP) after delivery. Summary of Background Data. Persistent LBPP delivery is a risk factor for developing depression chronic as well incurring sick leave. Women experience pregnancy. Excessive places greater burden on musculoskeletal system. However, little known about how GWG associated with Methods. After Ethics Committee...
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of Japanese version Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) in children aged 9 12 years. Methods: A total 210 between years participated. Internal consistency test-retest were evaluated using Cronbach alpha coefficient intraclass correlation (ICC), respectively. Validity was athletic competence (AC), self-efficacy (SE), body mass index (BMI), fat percentage (%BF), cardiovascular fitness (CVF), World...
The interaction of cosmic ray thermal neutrons and boron is demonstrated as the primary source radiation in devices containing borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG). Simulations indicated that this generates enough charge to induce soft errors memory devices. results a study DRAM also capable inducing errors. A simple process change significantly reduces proposed.
Abstract Background We examined the association of chronic musculoskeletal pain with executive function in community‐dwelling older adults. Method This cross‐sectional study recruited 234 adults Japan (mean age: 72.7, women: 62.8%). Chronic was defined as having moderate or more severe lasting ≥ 3 months. Executive assessed using Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Trail Making (TMT) parts A and B, Letter Verbal Fluency (LVFT) Category (CVFT). Results Prevalence 19% ( n = 44). In...
States of vulnerability are multidimensional and become more prevalent with advancing age. These states the causal relationships between them, merit thorough investigation. This study aimed to understand reciprocal relationship constructs locomotive syndrome social frailty among a community older adults.This 2-year cohort examined adults (≥75 years) consisting 1177 members. Using Makizako's method, was deemed be present if than two out five questions were answered negatively. Locomotive...
Aim: To examine the association between public transportation use and loneliness in urban elderly who stop driving. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 31 community-dwelling older adults had stopped Public was by using frequency divided into two groups. The users group participants used more than once a week nonusers less week. Loneliness measured Japanese version of UCLA Scale 3 (UCLA.LS.ver3), with higher score indicating greater loneliness. independent t test to compare...
In-home monitoring systems have been used to detect cognitive decline in older adults by allowing continuous of routine activities. In this study, we investigated whether unobtrusive in-house power technologies could be predict impairment. A total 94 aged ≥65 years were enrolled study.
