Aim To investigate the effects of branched‐chain amino acids and vitamin D supplementation on physical function, muscle strength, mass, nutritional status in sarcopenic older adults undergoing hospital‐based rehabilitation. Methods We carried out an 8‐week, multicenter, randomized, controlled, blinded outcome, two‐cohort parallel group intervention trial in‐hospital The eligibility criteria included (aged ≥65 years) with low strength (handgrip strength) mass (calf circumference) according to...
To investigate the effects of nutritional intervention with resistance training on skeletal muscle mass in elderly patients disabilities a convalescent rehabilitation setting. A randomized controlled trial. (UMIN Clinical Trials Registry ID: UMIN000006238). hospital. 39 decreased an inpatient convalescence unit. combination plus supplementation (R/N group) or alone (R group). The and were conducted essentially from patient's admission to discharge (2–6 months). evaluated at time end for...
This study compared the relationship between social participation, including work, and incidence of functional decline in rural urban older people Japan, by focusing on number types organizations participated in. The longitudinal data Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) that followed 55,243 individuals aged 65 years or for six were used. Cox proportional hazards model was employed to calculate hazard ratio (HR) over stratification settings. In this model, we adjusted 13 variables...
Ascertaining progress in building age-friendly cities (AFCs) requires community diagnostic indicators. This study examines the relationship between social participation and happiness at municipal level. The data from Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) 2013, 2016, 2019, comprising 442,079 older people 289 municipalities, are used. We also employ linear mixed-effects models to evaluate association happiness. In these models, we adjust for seven variables as potential confounders....
Background Studies have reported that the predictive ability of self-rated health (SRH) for mortality varies by sex/gender and socioeconomic group. The purpose this study is to evaluate relationship in Japan explore potential reasons differences between groups. Methodology/Principal Findings analyses were based on Aichi Gerontological Evaluation Study's (AGES) 2003 Cohort Study Chita Peninsula, Japan, which followed four-year survival status 14,668 community-dwelling people who at least 65...
Promoting social and leisure activity participation in older adults could be effective preventing their health decline. However, gender or regional differences those activities remain unclear despite the necessity of gender- region-specific approaches to promotion. This study examined urban-rural going-out, social, among community-dwelling adults. Data were obtained from Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES). Those analyzed 103,621 people aged 65 who functionally independent lived...
During the last three decades, Japan has become one of world's top countries for longevity, and increase in average life expectancy is accompanied by a sharp rise older population 65 years age above to ∼28%. This study aimed examine changes major health-related measures, including physical constitution, function, functional capacity community-dwelling Japanese people decade. From data 13 longitudinal cohort studies on aging conducted with total 13,441 subjects, this analyzed six indices that...
Frailty is a significant cause of adverse health events including long-term care and hospitalization. Although information communication technology (ICT) has become an integral part modern life, it remains unclear whether ICT use associated with frailty.
Age-friendly communities (AFCs) aim to create inclusive societies for older adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights dementia considerations in AFC development; however, few community-level indicators include these elements. This study aimed develop a indicator incorporating dementia-friendly elements based on WHO guidelines and test its validity reliability. A repeated cross-sectional design used data from the 2016 2019 waves of Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES)...
Context and objectives: This study was to assess the differences in rehabilitation outcomes between different facilities Japan, determine if there any variation patients’ functional recovery at hospital discharge across facilities. Methods: focused on patients ward using data of 680 from 12 hospitals after adjusting for triage admission obtained Rehabilitation Patient Databank Japan (issued September, 2009) compared therapeutic results each hospital. We estimate expected value levels...
Jeong S, Inoue Y, Kondo K, Matsumoto D, Shiraishi N. Formula for predicting FIM stroke patients at discharge from an acute ward or convalescent rehabilitation ward. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2014; 5: 19-25. Objective: To develop formulas Functional Independence Measure (FIM) the time of hospital using multicenter data. Methods: Data 4,311 (22 hospitals) and 1,941 (24 were divided into two groups (calculation group verification group). Multiple regression analysis was performed to test their...
We propose an empirical method to analyze data from first-price procurements where bidders are asymmetric in their risk-aversion (CRRA) coefficients and distributions of private costs. Our Bayesian approach evaluates the likelihood by solving type-symmetric equilibria using boundary-value integrates out unobserved heterogeneity through augmentation. study a new dataset Russian government focusing on category printing papers. find that there is no (presumably because job routine), but highly...
Sarcopenia is known to increase the risk of adverse outcomes, including disability, loss independence, hospitalization, longer length hospital stay, and mortality, but there little data about prevalence sarcopenia factors associated with increased physical dependency cognitive decline among older patients hospitalized in a long-term care (LTC) ward Japan. A cross-sectional study was conducted 79 consecutive (34 men, 45 women) median age 81 y an LTC hospital. defined according recommended...
We analyzed the relationships between forgetfulness and social participation, contact, support by municipality to develop community diagnosing indicators. The analysis subjects included 105 municipalities that agreed provide data for 2013 Survey of Needs in Spheres Daily Life Japan (n = 338,659 people). Forgetfulness as a risk factor dementia was used dependent variable. variables environment factors were (1) (2) (3) support. ratio people responding they experienced differed among...
We introduce the groupwise-pivotal referral (GPR) mechanism for auctions where buyers can participate only through referrals. Each buyer's type consists of a valuation and referable buyers. Unlike second-price auction (SPA), Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) provides incentives. However, VCG is not budget-feasible. In contrast, GPR core-selecting, implying efficiency budget feasibility. GPR, bidders should refer truthfully have no incentive to underbid. shill-proof groupwise collusion-proof....
Steemit is a blockchain-based social media platform, where authors can get author rewards in the form of cryptocurrencies called STEEM and SBD (Steem Blockchain Dollars) if their posts are upvoted. Interestingly, curators (or voters) also by voting others' posts, which curation reward. A reward proportional to curator's stakes. Throughout this process, hopes "good" content will be automatically discovered users decentralized way, known as Proof-of-Brain (PoB). However, there many bot...
In 2020, the Tron Foundation acquired Steemit Inc, a company that mainly developed and had maintained Steem blockchain on which social media platform called runs. The uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake blockchain, where 20 block producers (BP) are elected by stake-weighted voting. allows 30 votes per account (VPA), if 17 out of BPs agree, then they can change rule blockchain. After acquisition, newly created took over We show takeover could have been prevented proper VPA chosen.
This study aimed to examine the relationships between levels of competence and impaired physical cognitive functions in older adults.
