Vaccination could be a key protective measure against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and it is important to understand the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccine among general public. However, there no study on acceptance in Japan. Therefore, this aimed describe hesitancy situation Japan assess factors associated with such issues. This was cross-sectional based an internet survey completed by 2956 people. Participants were asked indicate how likely they get vaccinated for COVID-19. In...
Although the pedestrian-friendly qualities of streetscapes promote walking, quantitative understanding streetscape functionality remains insufficient. This study proposed a novel automated method to assess walkability (SW) using semantic segmentation and statistical modeling on Google Street View images. Using compositions segmented elements, such as buildings street trees, regression-style model was built predict SW, scored human-based auditing method. Older female active leisure walkers...
To compare physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) levels during work time between those who from home (WFH) at workplaces (no WFH), by WFH subgroups.This cross-sectional internet-based survey included 1239 workers (mean age [standard deviation], 44.7 [13.7] years; 59.2% men) living in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Time spent sitting (SB), standing (light-intensity PA; LPA), walking, engaging heavy labor (moderate-to-vigorous MVPA) was measured using Work-related Physical Activity...
Workers who meet the criteria for shift work disorder (SWD) have elevated levels of risk various health and behavioral problems. However, impact having SWD on shiftworkers engaged in rapid-rotation schedules is unknown. Moreover, factors occurrence remain unclear. To clarify these issues, we conducted a questionnaire-based, cross-sectional survey sample shiftworking nurses. Responses were obtained from 1202 nurses working at university hospitals Tokyo, Japan, including 727 two-shift workers...
Background: Recent research highlights the importance of environment as a determinant physical activity; however, evidence among Japanese is sparse. The aim this study was to examine association between perceived neighborhood and walking for multiple purposes Japanese.Methods: We conducted population-based, cross-sectional 1461 adults (age: 48.2 ± 14.1 years, men: 44.8%). Neighborhood were assessed by validated questionnaire. odds ratio active walkers calculated in relation environmental...
Previous studies have shown associations of sedentary behavior with cardiovascular risk, independent moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). However, few focused on older adults. This study examined the joint television (TV) viewing time and MVPA overweight/obesity among Japanese adults.A population-based, cross-sectional mail survey was used to collect self-reported height, weight, spent in TV viewing, from 1806 adults (age: 65-74 years, men: 51.1%). Participants were classified into...
Background: Recent research has revealed the importance of neighborhood environment as a determinant physical activity. However, evidence among elderly adults is limited. This study examined association between perceived and walking for specific purposes Japanese adults.Methods: population-based, cross-sectional enrolled 1921 participants (age: 65–74 years, men: 51.9%). Neighborhood (International Physical Activity Questionnaire Environmental Module) (ie, transportation or recreation) were...
Sedentary time is a modifiable determinant of poor health, and in older adults, reducing sedentary may be an important first step adopting maintaining more active lifestyle. The primary purpose this consensus statement to provide integrated perspective on current knowledge expert opinion pertaining behaviour adults the topics measurement, associations with health outcomes, interventions. A secondary yet equally suggest priorities for future research translation based gaps identified....
Background: This longitudinal study aimed to examine the changes in psychological distress of general public from early community-transmission phases COVID-19 pandemic and investigate factors related these changes.
Abstract Vertebral fractures (VFs) cause serious problems, such as substantial functional loss and a high mortality rate, delayed diagnosis may further worsen the prognosis. Plain thoracolumbar radiography (PTLR) is an essential method for evaluation of VFs. Therefore, minimizing diagnostic errors VFs on PTLR crucial. Image identification based deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) has been recognized to be potentially effective strategy; however, accuracy detecting not fully...
This study aims to compare the outputs of waist-worn Active style Pro HJA-350IT (ASP; used in studies with Asian populations), ActiGragh™GT3X+ using normal filter (GT3X+) and thigh-worn activPAL3 (AP) assessing adults' sedentary behaviour (total time, number breaks) under free-living conditions. Fifty healthy workers wore three monitors simultaneously during their waking hours on two days, including a work day non-work day. Valid data were at least 10 wearing differences between AP as...
Introduction The most effective type of social participation against psychological distress in older adults is not well documented. aim this study was to examine whether different types are associated with changes level men and women Japan. Methods Two thousand seven hundred community-dwelling (aged 65–74 years, 50% women) were randomly selected from the resident registry three cities. Of these, participants who reported baseline survey 2010 followed up. Psychological evaluated based on K6...
Increasing empirical evidence supports associations between neighborhood environments and physical activity. However, since most studies were conducted in a single country, particularly western countries, the generalizability of an international setting is not well understood. The current study examined whether perceived attributes activity differed by country. Population representative samples from 11 countries on five continents surveyed using comparable methodologies measurement...
Neighborhood environment studies of physical activity (PA) have been mainly single-country focused. The International Prevalence Study (IPS) presented a rare opportunity to examine neighborhood features across countries. purpose this analysis was to: 1) detect international typologies based on participants' response patterns an survey and 2) estimate associations between PA.A Latent Class Analysis (LCA) conducted pooled IPS adults (N=11,541) aged 18 64 years old (mean=37.5±12.8 yrs; 55.6%...
