Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a common problem among older adults and contributes to adverse health outcomes such as cognitive impairment. However, the neural mechanisms underlying ARHL remain unclear. We aimed reveal structural metabolic (i.e., activity) correlates of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET). A total 162 community-dwelling without cerebral disorders or impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score < 24)...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Wearable devices, such as smartwatches (SW) appear to be useful tools for managing lifestyles and health among community-dwelling older adults. However, the detailed impact of daily SW use on wide-range outcomes in adults remains unclear. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aimed investigate one-year changes physical function, mental cognitive satisfaction with <title>METHODS</title> Participants aged ≥65 years from community-based cohort studies were...
Intervention adherence is crucial to ensure cognitive benefits in trials designed prevent decline. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Japan-Multimodal Trial for Prevention of Dementia offered live online exercise sessions older adults with mild impairment (MCI). To assess and aerobic intensity through MCI. Posthoc analysis 18-month, multi-center, randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted across five institutions Japan. Older aged 65-85 years who were assigned...
<ns3:p>Background With the rapid aging of population, increasing life satisfaction among older adults is essential. Negative perceptions are internalized, leading to poor mental health. This study hypothesized that participants with more negative would have lower satisfaction. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted across five wards and four cities in Tokyo, Japan. Participants responded questions regarding demographics, satisfaction, adults. Data from 285 (264 women,...
Introduction: Positive effects of hearing aids (HA) have been suggested. However, their impact on gait performance, which is closely associated with loss and cognition, remains unclear. This pilot study assessed the effect HA use performance among patients age-related (ARHL). Methods: single-arm trial compared in ARHL before after use. Participants diagnosed prescribed by an audiologist wore gradually over one week. They subsequently underwent a baseline assessment prior to consistent After...

Although wearable activity trackers (WAT) are considered beneficial for health-management in older adults, their prevalence and impact on health satisfaction unclear. We limited our study to Japanese adults who used smartphones, tablets, or personal computers. categorized the participants into WAT users non-users. The survey examined use of which was a wristwatch, other type (glasses, ring, clip); demographics; health-related measures; Information Communication Technology (ICT)...
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...

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...
