Aim This study examined the association between number of prescribed medications and falls among community‐dwelling older adults. Methods We conducted a geriatric comprehensive health‐checkup on adults aged 69–91 years who participated in Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians Investigation with Centenarians study. The final analysis this included 1,076 participants complete data. were divided into four groups based at baseline: 0, 1, 2–4, ≥5. At 3‐year follow‐up, asked whether they...
Metabolic acidosis caused by acidogenic diets increases muscle catabolism. High can increase loss in older adults; however, their association with functional outcomes remains unclear. To investigate whether high the incidence of disability. Longitudinal study. Community-based. We included 1,704 community-dwelling Japanese individuals aged ≥ 75 years without disabilities at baseline (52.2 % females). Baseline dietary acid load was assessed using potential renal (PRAL) values, which reflect...
Recently, some researchers have questioned the inclusion of muscle mass as a diagnostic criterion for sarcopenia. We examined longitudinal association between presence or absence assessment in sarcopenia diagnosis and incidence poor health outcomes. This 1-year follow-up study included 730 Japanese outpatients aged ≥65 years without disabilities who visited frailty clinic. The participants were classified into four groups: robust; low only; grip strength and/or physical function with...
In our previous study, we proposed that the total score of 12 frailty-related items in health assessment questionnaire for national screening program older adults could be used as an indicator frailty. We aim to examine criterion validity frailty.The data this study were from Japanese individuals aged 78-81 years (n = 461) who participated in-venue (2019) and mailed (2020) surveys Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians Investigation with Centenarians study.

Although QMCOO is useful screening frailty, its cutoff values predicting adverse outcomes have rarely assessed. Therefore, this study aimed to calculate all‐cause mortality and disability incidence evaluate their predictive validity. Methods This included 3837 recipients aged ≥75 years residing Higashiura Town, Aichi...
