Associations of Apathy and Depressive Symptoms With Frailty Domains in Individuals Aged 75 Years Old
The Initial Development Of A Questionnaire to Evaluate Knowledge, Attitude, and Confidence of Implementation of Active Breaks Programs Among Japanese Elementary School Teachers (AB-KAC Questionnaire)
Active breaks (AB), short exercise sessions during class, have been shown to improve students’ academic performance and concentration. To support AB implementation in elementary schools, we developed a questionnaire assessing teachers’ knowledge, attitude, and confidence (KAC) regarding AB. The 43-item AB-KAC questionnaire was completed by 134 Japanese teachers and demonstrated strong construct validity (KMO: attitude = 0.857, confidence = 0.908)…
Association between dog ownership and mental health among community-dwelling older adults
Introduction: Poor mental health in later adulthood poses a significant public health challenge. The association between dog ownership and apathy and depressive symptoms among older adults remains under-researched. We aimed to examine the relationship between dog ownership and apathy and depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 722 community-dwelling adults (356 women) aged ≥65 years.…
Relative age effect on the physical activity and sedentary behavior in children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years old
The relative age effect on physical activity can persist after middle school, and the relatively younger individuals are more likely to replace physical activity with sedentary behavior
Identifying High-Priority Populations for Dietary Salt Reduction Using the Tarpare Model
The application of social marketing to public health activities has recently garnered attention. This study aimed to identify high-priority segments for salt reduction interventions using the TARPARE model in a rural Japanese city. This cross-sectional study used convenient sampling. Scored indicators of the TARPARE model were used, and data was collected from 1874 adults to establish the priority order of target segments for promoting salt reduc…
Combined associations of regular exercise and work-related moderate-to-vigorous physical activity with occupational stress responses
Exercise-based PA greatly and consistently associates with a lower level of stress responses moderated by work-related MVPA
Neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors moderate the association between physical activity and relative age effect
Socioeconomic factors moderate the relative age effect on adolescents' physical activity. The relative age effect on adolescents' physical activity might be more likely to appear among adolescents from socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods
Environmental Factors Affecting Cognitive Function among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Although neighborhood environmental factors have been found to be associated with cognitive decline, few longitudinal studies have focused on their effect on older adults living in rural areas. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the role of neighborhood environmental factors in cognitive decline among rural older adults. The data of 485 older adults aged ≥60 years who were living in Unnan City in Japan and had participated in two survey…
Neighborhood Environmental Factors and Physical Activity Status among Rural Older Adults in Japan
(1) Background: Although several neighborhood environmental factors have been identified to be associated with older adults' physical activity, little research has been done in rural areas where the population is aging. This study aimed to investigate neighborhood environmental factors and the longitudinal change of physical activity status among rural older adults in Japan. (2) Methods: The study included 2211 older adults, aged over 60 years, r…
Car Driving Status and Living Arrangement Associated with Sarcopenia among Rural Japanese Older Adults
Ensuring mobility after driving cessation is an important public health issue to prevent functional limitations, but this issue is still not fully understood in rural settings. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that being a non-driver and living alone is associated with a greater risk of sarcopenia among the community-dwelling elderly in rural Japanese areas. This study was conducted in 2018 and data from 738 participants were used…
Assessing the Impact of a Hilly Environment on Depressive Symptoms among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Japan
Although some neighborhood environmental factors have been found to affect depressive symptoms, few studies have focused on the impact of living in a hilly environment, i.e., land slope, on depressive symptoms among rural older adults. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate whether a land slope is associated with depressive symptoms among older adults living in rural areas. Data were collected from 935 participants, aged 65 years and old…
Inconvenience of Living Place Affects Individual HbA1c Level in a Rural Area in Japan
We found a positive correlation between HbA1c level and residential altitude in a rural area of Japan. The altitude seemed to be a parameter substituting the inconvenicence of residential areas. Socio-geographical factors of living place, such as inconvenience, may influence glycemic control of the residents
Association of Neighborhood Food Environment and Physical Activity Environment With Obesity
Objective: This study examined the relationship between neighborhood food and physical activity environment, and obesity among elementary and junior high school students in Japan. Methods: The participants were fifth- to ninth-grade children (n=7277), who were attending municipal schools in Japan. Percent overweight (POW) was calculated using their age, gender, height, and weight, which were collected through a questionnaire. A POW of Results: In…
Relationship between Individual Social Capital and Cognitive Function among Older Adults by Gender
As it is not easy to modify lifestyle, it is important to examine the effect of social capital (SC), which does not require behavior modifications, on dementia prevention. This study aimed to clarify gender differences in the relationship between cognitive function and individual SC among people living in a rural area in Japan. We used the Shimane Center for Community-based Healthcare Research and Education (CoHRE) study data from 2011 to conduct…
Is the Effect of Body Mass Index on Hypertension Modified by the Elevation? A Cross-Sectional Study of Rural Areas in Japan
Obesity is an established independent risk factor for developing hypertension. A recent study showed that the effect of obesity on hypertension varies by the elevation of the residence area. Thus, we hypothesized that the interaction effect of body mass index (BMI) and elevation has a significant association with hypertension. The first aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether BMI was associated with hypertension, after adjustment…
