Association Between Plasma Pentosidine and Skeletal Muscle‐Related Indices in Older Adults Without Diabetes
Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of a Community‐Based Sutra Chanting Program on Mental Well‐Being and Respiratory and Swallowing Functions in Older Adults
Task-shifting in dementia care
The findings highlight the need for strengthened collaboration between primary care and psychiatric services. We propose a collaborative care ecosystem in which primary care physicians lead community-based dementia care, supported by psychogeriatric consultation
Supporting community integration and wellbeing after relocation among older adults living alone
This study was retrospectively registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) on July 7, 2025 (UMIN000058386)
Buddhist Priests' Traditional Activity as a De Facto Community Outreach for Older People with Various Challenges
Little is known about monthly home visits, a traditional Japanese Buddhist custom, wherein Buddhist priests visit their parishioners' homes every month. This study aimed to explore this custom in terms of community health care. Qualitative data were collected from 14 Buddhist priests from various areas, followed by quantitative data collection on all the temples in the Osaka parish, where 486 questionnaires were distributed and 299 were retrieved…
Sex-specific factors associated with acceptance of smartwatches among urban older adults
Smartwatches (SW) are wearable devices that support daily life and monitor an individual’s health and activity status. This information is utilized to promote behavior modification, which could help prevent chronic diseases and manage the health of older adults. Despite being interested in SWs, older adults tend to decrease their SW usage as they age. Therefore, understanding the acceptance of SWs among older individuals can facilitate individual…
Characteristics of older people who experience homelessness for the first time in later life in Tokyo, Japan
Recent studies in Western countries reported that approximately half of older homeless persons entered homelessness for the first time in later life (late-onset homelessness). Characteristics of these individuals are reported to be different from those experiencing early-onset homelessness. However, studies investigating this issue in non-Western societies are lacking. We conducted a study on older homeless people aged 65 and over at the time the…
Living Alone, Cognitive Function, and Well-Being of Japanese Older Men and Women
This study examined the interaction of living alone and cognitive decline in relation to the well-being of older men and women. 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…
The Relationship Between Cognitive Decline and All-Cause Mortality Is Modified by Living Alone and a Small Social Network
Although living alone and having a small social network represent an isolated status, their modifying effects were the opposite. These findings indicate that the isolation type should be considered when implementing support strategies for older adults with cognitive decline or dementia
Severity of Dementia Is Associated with Increased Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area
No studies have measured the periodontal inflamed surface area in people with dementia, although periodontal disease is a major health issue in this group. This study aimed to determine the relationship between dementia severity and periodontal inflamed surface area. An interdisciplinary team, including a dentist and psychiatrist, conducted an in-home survey of older people living in the community. This cross-sectional study was designed as part …
Does community social capital buffer the relationship between educational disadvantage and cognitive impairment? A multilevel analysis in Japan
