Dose–response associations between physical activity and sedentary time with functional disability in older adults with or without frailty
Purpose: Evidence regarding the dose-response curve shapes of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) in older adults with functional disability (FD) is extremely limited. Moreover, these associations may differ depending on with/without frailty. We examined the dose-response associations between moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and ST with FD among older adults with/without frailty. Methods: We included 7,480 initially nondisabled adults (3…
Association of dietary variety with the risk for dementia
Objective: The consumption of various foods is internationally recommended in healthy diet although the association between dietary variety and incident dementia is unknown. We aimed to examine the association between dietary variety and the incidence of disabling dementia in older Japanese adults. Design: We conducted a prospective cohort study. Dietary variety was assessed based on the Dietary Variety Score (DVS). DVS was assessed by counting t…
Transportation modes and social participation in older drivers and non-drivers
Role of personality traits in determining the association between social participation and mental health
The role of personality in determining the association between social participation and mental health was examined by a cross-sectional study. We analyzed data from 4981 older adults aged 65-84 years who were recruited via a mail survey in one region of Japan. We defined poor mental health using a score ≤12 points on the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index-Japanese. Personality traits were measured by 10 Item Personality Inventory-Jap…
Frailty Status and Transport Disadvantage
This study examined differences in older adults' travel behaviours by frailty status in metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas of Japan. Data were collected from 9104 older adults (73.5 ± 5.7 years; 51% women; 19% frail) living in metropolitan (n = 5032), suburban (n = 2853), and rural areas (n = 1219) of Japan. Participants reported if they walked, cycled, drove a car, rode a car as a passenger, and used public transportation (PT) once per week…
Differences in the Prevalence of and Factors Associated with Frailty in Five Japanese Residential Areas
This study aimed to examine area differences in the prevalence of and factors associated with frailty. This cross-sectional study included metropolitan (eastern and western areas), suburban (districts A and B), and rural areas of Japan ( n = 9182, woman 50.9%). Frailty was defined by using a standardized questionnaire comprising three subcategories (fall, nutritional status, and social activities). The prevalence of frailty in the five areas was …
Menopausal Status in Relation to Cardiovascular Stress Reactivity in Healthy Japanese Participants
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hypothesis that postmenopausal women demonstrate greater cardiovascular stress reactivity during mental stress tasks than do both premenopausal women and men. METHODS: The study included 979 Japanese participants (338 men and 641 women [238 postmenopausal]) aged 16 to 82 years. Blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, and peripheral blood flow were measured at rest and during a mirror drawing stress task a…
P2-178 The associations of dietary folate, vitamin B 6 and B 12 intakes with risk of sudden cardiac death
Introduction To examine whether dietary folate, vitamin B 6 and B 12 intakes are associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among Japanese men and women. Method We conducted a nested case-control study. For each case of SCD entered between 1973 and 2001 in the CIRCS, two controls were randomly selected for each case and matched for age (±3 years), sex and community from among participants without history of SCD. The 77 cases and 154 c…
SP1-92 Serum α-linolenic acid and disabling dementia among Japanese
Background Information on the impact of fatty acid composition on dementia has not yet been elucidated. Methods We performed a nested case-control study based on a cohort of approximately 12 000 Japanese people from two communities in the CIRCS, aged 45–85 at baseline (1984–1994). Fatty acid compositions were measured for 350 dementia cases and 700 controls (age, sex, community and baseline-year matched). The subjects were followed-up from 1999 t…
