Smaller household size and higher prevalence of serious psychological distress in younger people and never-married people
Background Small-member households are increasing worldwide. However, most previous studies have focused on older people and living alone. Using the latest national survey data, we investigated a dose–response relationship between household size and serious psychological distress (SPD). Methods We analyzed data from the 2019 Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions in Japan. The study participants were 405,560 community-dwelling adults aged 20 o…
Fraction and Number of Unemployed Associated with Self-Reported Low Back Pain
This study examined a cross-sectional association between self-reported low back pain (LBP) and unemployment among working-age people, and estimated the impact of self-reported LBP on unemployment. We used anonymized data from a nationally representative survey (24,854 men and 26,549 women aged 20-64 years). The generalized estimating equations of the multivariable Poisson regression models stratified by gender were used to estimate the adjusted …
Mental component of health-related quality of life is an independent predictor of incident functional disability among community-dwelling older people
Social Participation and Cognitive Decline Among Community-dwelling Older Adults
Our results suggest that greater social group participation prevents CD in women, while the beneficial effect of each type of SP on cognition differs between genders. Determining which types of social groups are best for community-dwelling older people's participation based on gender may help them maintain their cognitive functioning abilities
Influence of room heating on ambulatory blood pressure in winter
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have proposed that higher blood pressure (BP) in winter is an important cause of increased mortality from cardiovascular disease during the winter. Some observational and physiological studies have shown that cold exposure increases BP, but evidence from a randomised controlled study assessing the effectiveness of intensive room heating for lowering BP was lacking. OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to determine whet…

P2-300 Effects of antihypertensive drug treatments on bone turnover in elderly men
Introduction Previous studies have found that some antihypertensive drugs may lower fracture risk. However, the impact of antihypertensive drugs on bone metabolism is not entirely clear. We examined how antihypertensive drugs influenced bone status and bone turnover markers. Methods We analysed 1632 Japanese men aged ≥65 years from a baseline survey (the FORMEN Study) conducted during 2007–2008 as a part of the Fujiwara-kyo study, a larger prospe…
P1-266 Relationship of tooth loss to mild memory impairment and cognitive impairment
Introduction This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between the number of remaining teeth to mild memory impairment (MMI), which is a preclinical stage of dementia, and to cognitive impairment. Methods The subjects were aged 65 years or older and were grouped according to their score for the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the three-word delayed recall test in the MMSE, and the Geriatric Depression Scale into the control g…
