Examining the nature of help seeking and related factors among community-dwelling older adults is important to address social problems, such as loneliness consumer damage. This study aimed clarify help-seeking preferences adults. A questionnaire survey was conducted men women aged 65 or in Tokyo, 2021. Overall, 5,576 respondents agreed provide personal information. The items included a shortened version Help-seeking Preference Scale measures evaluate basic attributes, physical mental health,...
ABSTRACT Objective Although it has been suggested that a decline in oral function is one of the potential risk factors affecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI), evidence insufficient to draw clear conclusions. This Japanese cross‐sectional study examined association between tongue pressure (TP) and MCI middle‐aged older adults aged 36–84 years. Methods Study participants were 1019 (368 men 651 women). TP was evaluated using measurement device. The maximum value three measurements used for...
This paper proposes a speech recognition technique based on acoustic models considering voice characteristic variations. Context-dependent models, which are typically triphone HMM, often used in continuous systems. work hypothesizes that the speaker characteristics humans can perceive by listening also factors variation for construction of and tree-based clustering is applied to construct voice-characteristic-dependent models. In using neighboring phonetic context given from...
Objective. Falls among older adults can significantly worsen their physical health. While it is important to prevent falls, there also a great need reduce fear of falling. In this study, we focus on confidence in own strength as one the variables associated with We explored whether more have lower falling (Hypothesis 1). examined interactions between and subjective health/positive images affect (Hypotheses 2 3). Methods. surveyed 274 Japanese adults. Multiple regression analysis was...
Background Vascular endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients causes atherosclerosis and microvascular damage. This study investigated the relationship between leg circumference arterial stiffness with T2DM compared to non-T2DM individuals. Methods Data from two studies were combined form (T2DM group) (N cohorts. The variables included age, sex, systolic blood pressure (SBP), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), ankle-brachial index, height, weight, maximum...
Abstract Background Previous research found that self‐concealment was associated with rumination in younger adults. However, no study had investigated the relationship between and older Hence, this aimed to investigate two subfactors of rumination: brooding reflection, Methods In study, we Considering has subfactors: brooding, which reflects more maladaptive aspects rumination; adaptive rumination, separately rumination. Results We after controlling for other potentially relevant variables...
Objectives: As the population ages worldwide, including in Japan, there is a growing expectation for older adults to remain active participants society. The act of sharing one’s experiences and knowledge with younger generations through social engagement not only enriches lives individuals, but also holds significant value our In this study, we examined both positive negative perceptions investigated correlation between these generativity among citizens. Additionally, evaluated impact life...
Ad-Hoc networks have become increasingly popular and they can provide mobile users with ubiquitous communication capability information access regardless of locations. Presently, there are many research works applications networks. However, in order to achieve the services new platforms methods needed. In this paper, we propose Real Object-Oriented Communication (ROOC) method implement a middleware for based on ROOC P2P concepts. The proposed be developed efficiently. We evaluate platform by...
Currently, various IoT applications are developed and used in fields. Generally, the development model of is still vertical type model. However, model, when novel systems developed, same functions past system cannot be used. As results, application period becomes long. In this paper, we propose a method based on 'real object-oriented model' which horizontal The proposed can applied without being conscious middleware. order to improve efficiency reduce period, automatically combines an...
We analyzed the eye movements of cognitively healthy older adults while reading Japanese text and compared them with those younger adults. found that it is essential to match speeds accurately compare movement parameters during their reading. Cognitively had longer fixation durations, fewer fixations, extra fixations than Meanwhile, a length forward saccades comparable These results suggest reduced efficiency due duration compensated for by in who read at same speed as
