Adverse childhood experiences and all-cause mortality in older Japanese adults
Circulating phospholipid species and internet addiction severity in Japanese adolescents
Internet addiction is increasing among adolescents, yet biological markers remain scarce. Lipid metabolism influences neurobehavior, but its association with internet addiction is unclear. Plasma concentrations of 150 phospholipid species from eight classes-phosphatidylinositol (PI), PI3P, PI4P, PI(3,5)P 2 , PI(4,5)P 2 , phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and PIP 3 -were quantified in 34 Japanese adolescents (mean ± SD age =…
Home cooking, cooking skills and dementia requiring long-term care
BACKGROUND: People have come to rely on restaurants and takeaway foods, and less on cooking at home. We examined the association between home cooking and dementia incidence, ascertained through administrative long-term care records, and whether the benefits of home cooking differ by cooking skills. METHODS: Participants in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study, a population-based cohort study, were followed for 6 years. The incidence of demen…
Association between Short Stature at Grade 1 and Permanent Teeth Caries at Grade 6 in Elementary School Children in Japan
Short stature in children is a marker of low nutritional status and has been suggested to be associated with dental caries. However, longitudinal studies on this topic are scarce. Data from a longitudinal study of elementary school children in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan, were analyzed. In 2015, caregivers of children at grade 1 answered questionnaires, and information on dental caries and height measured at school health checkups was merged and fo…

Change of human flourishing during the Covid-19 pandemic in Japan
Longitudinal change in flourishing during the pandemic of COVID-19 would provide new insight to reveal determinants of well-being. We aimed to describe changes in flourishing during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and to examine the association of sex, age, education, and income with changes in flourishing. Utsunomiya COVID-19 seROprevalence Neighborhood Association (U-CORONA) study conducted in October 2020 and November 2021 was used (n = 419 in …
Associations of Cooking Skill with Social Relationships and Social Capital among Older Men and Women in Japan
The health benefits of social relationships and social capital are well known. However, little research has examined the determinants of social relationships and social capital. We examined whether cooking skill was associated with social relationships and social capital in older Japanese people. We used 2016 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study data on a population-based sample of men and women aged ≥ 65 years ( n = 21,061). Cooking skill was a…
Beppu Bay, Japan, as a candidate Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point for the Anthropocene series
For assessment of the potential of the Beppu Bay sediments as a Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) candidate for the Anthropocene, we have integrated datasets of 99 proxies. The datasets for the sequences date back 100 years for most proxy records and 1300 years for several records. The cumulative number of occurrences of the anthropogenic fingerprint reveal unprecedented increases above the base of the 1953 flood layer at 64.6 c…
Late Holocene centennial to millennial-scale variability in lower trophic level productivity off southern Hokkaido, Japan, and its response to dissolved iron-replete Coastal Oyashio dynamics
Little is known about the dynamics of marine food chains spanning primary to higher trophic levels on centennial and longer timescales, especially where the supply of dissolved iron limits primary productivity. To elucidate the long-term dynamics of biological productivity in the Coastal Oyashio (CO), which is a major pathway for transporting dissolved iron into the western North Pacific from winter to spring, we reconstructed the lower trophic l…
Relationship trajectories of pregnant women with their parents and postpartum depression
Women who felt that their relationship with parents "deteriorated" or was "consistently unsatisfactory" during pregnancy showed significant risk of PPD. Paying attention to the pregnant women's feelings about the relationship with their parents and promoting positive change may help predict and prevent PPD
Neighborhood Beauty and the Brain in Older Japanese Adults
People have a preference for, and feel better in, beautiful natural environments. However, there are no epidemiological studies on the association between neighborhood beauty and neuroimaging measures. We aimed to determine association between neighborhood beauty and regional brain volume. Participants were 476 community-dwelling older adults from the Neuron to Environmental Impact across Generations (NEIGE) study. Subjective neighborhood beauty …
Local knowledge in a forestry development project of 1980s Burma
As worldwide interest in sustainable forest management continues, this paper aims to contribute to the debate about the direction of the flow of science and knowledge by adding information that hybridity of knowledge occurred in international projects. As a case study, I selected a forestry development project of Burma called Forestry Project II East Pegu Yoma Project, funded mainly by the World Bank in the 1980s. By analysing the reports of this…
Do Social Ties Moderate the Association between Childhood Maltreatment and Gratitude in Older Adults? Results from the Neige Study
Promoting social ties may mitigate the adverse impact of emotional neglect on the level of gratitude
Association of home cooking with caregiver–child interaction and child mental health
Objective: To examine the associations of home cooking with caregiver–child interaction and child mental health in Japan. Design: Cross-sectional data collected in 2018. Frequency of home cooking was assessed by a questionnaire among 4126 caregivers and classified as high (almost every day), medium (4–5 d/week) or low (≤3 d/week). Caregiver–child interaction was evaluated by assessing frequency of talking and playing together (per week). Behaviou…
Neighborhood Ties Reduced Depressive Symptoms in Older Disaster Survivors
Objective : As most studies relating to mental health and disasters have employed cross-sectional or follow-up assessments about psychological health with post-disaster information, the association between changes in social ties and mental health remains unclear. We examined the relationship between the changes in survivor neighborhood ties and depressive symptoms before and after a natural disaster. Methods : Participants were 3567 individuals a…
Social Capital and the Improvement in Functional Ability among Older People in Japan
We investigated the contextual effects of community social capital on functional ability among older people with functional disability in Japan, and the cross-level interaction effects between community social capital and individual psychosocial characteristics. We used data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study for 1936 men and 2207 women nested within 320 communities and followed for 46 months. We used objective data for functional abi…
Socioeconomic status and improvement in functional ability among older adults in Japan
There are education-related inequalities in the improvement of functional ability, especially among older adults with severe disabilities. Health policy makers and practitioners should consider the educational background of individuals with reduced functionality in formulating strategies to improve their functional ability
