Preliminary effects of a four-month circuit training intervention on cognitive function and exploratory plasma proteomic profiles in middle-aged and older women: An open-label randomized controlled tr…
Background Although exercise can help prevent age-related cognitive decline, the mechanisms underlying its effects on cognition, immune function remain unclear. Therefore, this study comprehensively examined the effects of circuit training on cognitive function, and the plasma proteome in middle-aged to older women. Methods Forty-eight women were assigned to either a four-month circuit training program ( n = 23, exercising more than twice per wee…
Psychometric validation of the WHO-5 and WHO-4 well-being index scales for assessing psychological well-being and detecting depression in Japanese school-aged children: A community-based study
Introduction: The 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is widely used to assess psychological well-being, but its psychometric properties in younger populations, particularly in non-Western settings, remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the WHO-5 (WHO-5-J) and a culturally adapted four-item version (WHO-4-J), which excludes a culturally sensitive item ("I hav…
Positive childhood experiences reduce suicide risk in Japanese youth with ASD and ADHD traits: A population-based study
These findings highlight the cumulative and potentially compounding effects of ASD and ADHD traits on suicide risk while underscoring the critical protective role of PCEs. PCEs can mitigate emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, particularly in individuals with high levels of ADHD traits, thus reducing suicide-related behaviors. This study underscores the importance of fostering PCEs as part of targeted interventions to promote resilience and m…
Examining the comorbidity network of Internet addiction and depression: The role of effortful control on their bridge symptoms in adolescents
The study revealed differences in bridge symptoms linking IA and depression between male and female students. Our findings provide valuable insights for understanding the comorbidity mechanisms of IA and depression in adolescents. Further research using a longitudinal study design is warranted to identify the directionality between EC and bridge symptoms
Consumption of dewaxed brown rice for a six-month period improves cognitive function in older adults: An open-label trial
Brown rice has received attention for its potential to improve cognitive function, but evidence from human subjects is scarce. Therefore, we conducted an open-label trial to examine the effectiveness of consuming low doses of dewaxed brown rice for six months in improving or maintaining cognitive function in older adults without cognitive impairment. Fifty-six cognitively healthy older people (≥60 years old) were recruited for this study; partici…
Early detection of students’ mental health issues from a traditional daily health observation scheme in Japanese schools and its digitalization
Objective: The implementation of school-based mental health screening offers promise for early detection of mental health issues in children; however, various barriers hinder its widespread adoption. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of digital data obtained from an established daily health observation scheme in Japanese schools to identify later mental health issues in children. Methods: Data for the analysis were obtained fro…
Functional Ego States in Treatment-Resistant Depression in Japan Evaluated Using Two Different Self-Rating Questionnaires
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD), defined as inadequate results after treatment with at least two antidepressants for 8 weeks, may be attributed to multiple factors, including the patient’s personality. In this research, we explored personality profiles based on egograms among 28 outpatients (22 men, 6 women) with TRD. Participants completed two self-questionnaires: the Tokyo University Egogram (TEG) and the Self Grow-up Egogram (SGE). Person…
Adverse childhood experiences: Impacts on adult mental health and social withdrawal
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been found to negatively impact adult mental health outcomes. Numerous studies have highlighted on ACEs in family and community settings. However, few have examined the impact of ACEs in school settings, despite the potential influence on social participation. Hikikomori, characterized by severe social withdrawal, was first studied in Japan and has gained recognition in recent years. The prese…
Psychometric Validation of the Japanese Version of the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale ( CASSS ) in Early Adolescents 1 , 2
Social support in children and adolescents is fundamental for preventing mental health problems. Differences in sources and types of social support may lead to differential effects on psychosocial outcomes; however, tools to assess these differences are lacking in Japan. The present study investigated the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS) in 1,068 students aged 9–15 years. A …
Longitudinal association between addictive internet use and depression in early adolescents over a 2-year period: A study using a random intercept cross-lagged model
Although addictive internet use (AIU) and depression frequently co-occur in early adolescents, the mechanism accounting for their co-occurrence remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to clarify the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU and depression in early adolescents. We employed a random intercept cross-lagged model to examine the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU and depression in a sample of the early…
Trajectories of Adaptive Behaviors During Childhood in Females and Males in the General Population
Little is known about the trajectory patterns and sex differences in adaptive behaviors in the general population. We examined the trajectory classes of adaptive behaviors using a representative sample and examined whether the class structure and trajectory patterns differed between females and males. We further explored sex differences in neurodevelopmental traits in each latent class. Participants ( n = 994) were children in the Hamamatsu Birth…
Atypical Sensory Processing Profiles and Their Associations With Motor Problems In Preschoolers With Developmental Coordination Disorder
The aims of this study were to identify sensory processing profiles specific to preschoolers with DCD in a community sample and examine the association of sensory processing problems with motor coordination difficulties in these children. Sixty-three 5-year-old children with DCD and without other neurodevelopmental disorders and 106 age-matched typically developing children participated in this study. Sensory processing problems were assessed usi…
