Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of a Community‐Based Sutra Chanting Program on Mental Well‐Being and Respiratory and Swallowing Functions in Older Adults

We analyzed the data from a cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire survey of community-dwelling older adults in Tokyo, who were aged 65+ and not on long-term care. The questionnaire included the 10-item self-administered dementia checklist (SDC), the WHO-5 Well-Being Scale, a question on their living arrangemen…

Does community social capital buffer the relationship between educational disadvantage and cognitive impairment? A multilevel analysis in Japan

Factor analysis yielded five factors which were interpreted as dyadic consensus, satisfacti…
