Physical Activity Levels Among Elderly Residents in Small Remote Islands in Japan
This study quantified the physical activity of older residents of two small remote Japanese islands and identified associated factors. A questionnaire survey and accelerometer measurements collected data from 79 participants aged ≥ 65 years on Kabashima and Hisakajima Islands in May–June 2024. The median daily step count was 4555, similar to or higher than national averages. Significant associations were found between physical activity levels and…
Associations of Dietary Inflammatory Index Scores with the disability status and subjective health of older adults living in non-urban municipalities in Nagasaki and Ishikawa Prefectures, Japan
Objective: To examine associations of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores with disability and subjective health, which is prognostic of disability, in a large, systematically sampled population of older adults living in non-urban areas in Japan. Design: Cross-sectional. The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence was used to assess disability. Both overall disability and disabilities in components of everyday competenc…
Food store accessibility affects nutritional intake through shopping frequency and food intake in middle‐aged to older adults in rural Nagasaki, Japan

Disability was assessed using the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence questionnaire. Ove…
Community Trial on Heat Related-Illness Prevention Behaviors and Knowledge for the Elderly
This study aims to explore whether broadcasting heat health warnings (HHWs), to every household and whether the additional home delivery of bottled water labeled with messages will be effective in improving the behaviors and knowledge of elderly people to prevent heat-related illness. A community trial on heat-related-illness-prevention behaviors and knowledge for people aged between 65 and 84 years was conducted in Nagasaki, Japan. Five hundred …
Utilization of bar and izakaya-pub establishments among middle-aged and elderly Japanese men to mitigate stress
Japanese suicide rate is one of the highest among industrialized nations, especially following the economic crisis of the 1990s, with more than 30000 suicides every year since 1998. Previous studies have pointed out to relationships between overwork and/or job stress, and death and other health risks, and suggested several possible avenues for releasing stress and emotional burden, including suicidal ideation, through talking with intimate friend…
Knowledge, experience, and potential risks of dating violence among Japanese university students
An educational program regarding harassment and violence prevention and appropriate help-seeking behavior should be provided in early adolescence to avoid IPV among youth
Fat-free Mass and Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption in the 40 Minutes after Short-duration Exhaustive Exercise in Young Male Japanese Athletes
The relationship between fat-free mass (FFM) and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) has not been well researched because of the relatively small number of subjects studied. This study investigated the effects of FFM on EPOC and EPOC/maximum oxygen consumption. 250 Japanese male athletes between 16 and 21 years old from Nagasaki prefecture had their EPOC measured up to 40 minutes after short-duration exhaustive exercise. The value was …
