Engagement in leisure activities has been claimed to be highly beneficial the elderly. Practicing such is supposed help older adults preserve cognitive function, physical and mental health, thus contribute successful aging. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) analyze impact of on these constructs a large sample Japanese (N = 809; age range 72–74). The model exhibited an excellent fit (CFI 1); engaging was positively associated with all three aging indicators. These findings...
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...
Since age-related muscle strength loss cannot be explained solely by atrophy, other determinants would also contribute to in elderly. The present study aimed clarify contribution of neuromuscular activation pattern elderly group. From 88 elderlies (age: 61~ 83 years), multi-channel surface electromyography (EMG) the vastus lateralis was recorded with two-dimensional 64 electrodes during isometric submaximal ramp-up knee extension assess pattern. Correlation analysis and stepwise regression...
Older individuals have been shown to present muscle atrophy in conjunction with increased fat fraction some muscles. The proportion of and connective tissue within the skeletal can be estimated from axial B-mode ultrasound images using echo intensity (EI). EI was used calculate index quality. Walking, home-based weight-bearing resistance training, its combinations are considered simple, easy, practical exercise interventions for older adults. purpose this study quantify effects walking...
The associations among cognitive function, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in older adults are controversial. Therefore, we investigated the decline, dyslipidemia, their combination community-dwelling people 70s, 80s, 90s long-term observational Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians, Investigation with Centenarians (SONIC) study. We administered Montreal Cognitive Assessment Japanese version (MoCA-J) by trained geriatricians psychologists, conducted blood testing pressure (BP)...
Aim Vitamin D (VD) affects skeletal muscles. The high prevalence of VD deficiency in Japan may lead to decreased muscle mass and strength, increasing the sarcopenia. Therefore, we aimed investigate association between serum levels indices a Japanese community‐dwelling older population. Methods We extracted data from Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians Investigation with Centenarians (SONIC) study. analyzed for participants 70s 90s age groups. Skeletal index (SMI) using bioimpedance...
The purpose of this study was to compare the component characteristics thigh muscle volume in Japanese young and older men. subjects both (YM, n = 15) (OM, 13) men were physically active (performed aerobic-type exercise 1-3 times per week), but none had regularly participated resistance training for a minimum 3 years prior study. Contiguous transverse magnetic resonance imaging (1.5-T scanner) images obtained from thigh, total individual (quadriceps, hamstrings adductors) volumes calculated...
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) is an indicator whether a community-dwelling elderly can live independently. IADL decline was reported to be associated with aging and depression. The present study aimed investigate the association between depressive symptoms differs aging, using two age groups Japanese in their 70s 80s.We conducted longitudinal analysis among participants 80s at baseline from Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians Investigation Centenarians (SONIC)...
Aim The objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between cognitive function and serum albumin/globulin ratio (A/G ratio) in community‐dwelling Japanese older adults. Methods Randomly extracted residents both urban rural parts Japan were enrolled study. A total 1827 participants with a mean age 70 or 80 years recruited. venue survey method carried out comprehensive studies, including interviews, blood collection, physical examination tests. Results Univariate analysis showed...
This study investigated the effect of online home-based resistance exercise training on fitness, depression, stress, and well-being. A total 67 individuals participated. Of them, 28 participants (13 men 15 women, average age: 45.1 ± 12.2 years) performed same (n = 17), using Zoom, or in person 11) 2020 (Study 1). In addition, 39 (15 24 women; 47.6 10.8 eight weeks 2021 2). The low-load exercises twice a week for (16 sessions). Muscle strength, thigh muscle cross-sectional area, fitness...
We investigated the effect of resistance training and fish protein intake on motor unit firing pattern function in elderly. Fifty healthy elderly males females (69.2 ± 4.7 years) underwent 6 weeks intervention. applied leg-press exercise as including Alaska pollack (APP) nutritional supplementation. Subjects were divided into four groups: without (APP-CN, n = 13), placebo (PLA-CN, 12), with (APP-RT, (PLA-RT, 13). Motor rates calculated from multi-channel surface electromyography by...
Previous studies investigated the relationship between ultrasound-derived anatomical muscle thickness (MTH) and individual cross-sectional area (CSA) volume in several limb trunk muscles; however, adductor that contributes to hip adduction pelvic stabilization, as well balance ability, has not been studied.To examine MTH of lower, middle, upper thigh measured by B-mode ultrasound CSA obtained magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirm possibility predicting CSA/volume using MTH.University...
Considering the real-world experiences of those with cognitive impairments is important in building a positive community for older people. Community-based participatory research an methodology investigators focused on improving health. The aim this study was to 1) investigate factors associated continuation dwelling among high-risk people and 2) create model inclusive space largest housing complex district Tokyo.From 198 residents who completed all three steps (mail, face-to-face,...
Abstract Background Cognitive impairment is a major health concern among older and oldest people. Moreover, stroke relevant contributor for cognitive decline development of dementia. The study focused on as the important risk factor by recruiting still lagging behind. Therefore, aim this was to investigate importance during 3 years in community dwelling Methods This longitudinal with 3-year follow-up Japan. participants were 1333 people (70 old = 675, 80 589, 90 69). Data collected included...
Aim Although a series of policies have been adapted to deliver an early diagnosis dementia, many people living with dementia remain undetected and undiagnosed. The aim this study is investigate the characteristics in community‐dwelling older Metropolitan Tokyo. Methods We conducted three‐step survey. First, questionnaires were mailed, total, 7614 residents aged ≥70 years one area Tokyo, 5430 retrieved. Secondly, 2020 individuals attended face‐to‐face survey, including Mini‐Mental State Exam...
