Dynamic Associations Between Social Interaction and Cognitive Function in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults: A Three‐Wave Comparison of Cross‐Lagged Panel and Random‐Intercept Cross‐Lagged Panel Models
This study aimed to clarify the longitudinal relationship between social interaction and cognitive function in later life. Longitudinal data were analysed from a cohort of 340 older adults across three waves (2014–2020). We employed Bayesian Cross‐Lagged Panel Models (CLPM) and Random‐Intercept Cross‐Lagged Panel Models (RI‐CLPM) to examine the reciprocal association between the Index of Social Interaction (ISI) and cognitive impairment risk. Hig…
Longitudinal associations between changes in higher-level competence and sleep status among community-dwelling older adults in Japan
Introduction: Sleep health is an important component of healthy aging, yet longitudinal evidence on whether changes in higher-level competence are associated with subsequent sleep outcomes remains limited among community-dwelling older adults in Japan. This study examined the longitudinal association between changes in higher-level competence and later sleep status, including short sleep duration and non-restorative sleep, over a 6-year period. M…
Social interaction and functional status among community-dwelling older adults in Japan: A longitudinal study during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that social relationships positively contribute to functional status. However, studies comparing the influence under changing social circumstances are still limited. Consequently, this study investigated how social interaction influenced long-term functional status among older Japanese adults before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A two-wave longitudinal cohort design was used to compare pre-pa…
Identifying Latent Profiles of the Home-Rearing Environment and Their Associations with Young Children’s Gross Motor Development in Japan
The trajectory of functional status among older adults with chronic diseases and the association with social relationships
Background: Functional status crucially affects healthy aging. Identifying trajectory of functional status and related determinants is important. We aimed to identify the trajectory of functional status over 6 years among older adults with chronic diseases and its association with social relationships. Methods: A latent class growth model analysis was conducted to explore the trajectory of functional status using three time points over 6 years. A…
Longitudinal assessment of the relationship between frailty and social relationships among Japanese older adults: A random intercept cross-lagged panel model
The results suggest that frailty was associated with lower levels of social relationships. Frailty improvement programs can be combined with interventions to enhance social relationships, which will be beneficial in preventing frailty. The results emphasize the importance of combining clinical treatments of frailty with interventions to improve social relationships
Measurement invariance and country difference in children’s social skills development: Evidence from Japanese and Chinese samples
Bidirectional relations between self-control and cooperation among Japanese preschoolers: A random-intercept cross-lagged panel analysis
Parent-preferred childcare environment styles: A latent class analysis and association with parental stress
Characteristics of Child-Rearing Environments Related to Social Development in Early Childhood
This study aimed to determine the characteristics of childrearing environments related to social development in early childhood. A questionnaire survey was conducted with the caregivers of children attending an urban preschool to identify the characteristics of the childrearing environment in relation to social development in early childhood. The TK Infant Development Test was used to assess social development. The Index of Child Care Environment…
Subtyping of Internalizing and Externalizing Behaviors in Japanese Community-Based Children: A Latent Class Analysis and Association with Family Activities
Externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems occurs at a high rate among children. However, this has rarely been examined among Japanese children using a person-oriented method. Hence, this study aims to explore its subtypes and clarify their association with family-based group activities. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a typical community-based suburban area for all families with primary school children in Japan. We investigated…
Development of Social Skills in Kindergarten: A Latent Class Growth Modeling Approach
Social skills acquired during early childhood are often the foundation for success later in life. Using a nationwide survey dataset in Japan, this study aims to explore the multiple growth trajectories of social skills among children in kindergarten by using a latent class growth modeling approach. It also examines whether, and to what extent, the home-rearing environment at early age predict trajectories of social skills development. Children in…
