  • Development of a predictive model for long-term care and support eligibility certification associated with dementia-related functional impairments

    Open AccessDaichi Yamashiro, Hiroyuki Suzuki et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    The Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) system in Japan provides a framework for assessing dementia-related functional decline, enabling the development of predictive models based on daily functional independence. This study aimed to develop and validate risk prediction models for dementia-related functional impairments using data from the Integrated Research Initiative for Living Well with Dementia Cohort Study (IRIDE-CS), integrating multiple cohor…

  • A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study on Home-Based Expressive Writing Intervention for Community-Dwelling Japanese Older Adults Who Care About Their Forgetfulness

    Open AccessSusumu Ogawa, Hiroyuki Suzuki et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2023

    Stress management activities that older adults can efficiently perform at home are needed. We therefore created a home-based expressive writing for older adults focusing on habituation and conducted a randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the expressive writing group ( n = 42) and the active control group ( n = 40). The expressive writing group wrote about stressful events for 15 to 30 minutes 3 times each day at hom…

  • Evaluation of the usefulness of a paper–pencil group cognitive assessment for older adults in the community

    Open AccessDaisuke Cho, Hiroyuki Suzuki et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    PAPLICA, similar to other neuropsychological tests, was able to detect the effects of years of education and aging. Future testing should be conducted on different demographics to identify the differences in patterns of cognitive decline

  • Suicide Prevention Program with Cooperation from Senior Volunteers, Governments, and Schools

    Open AccessSusumu Ogawa, Hiroyuki Suzuki et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    As a suicide countermeasure for young people, implementing "SOS output education" that provides young people with opportunities and approaches to seeking support with community cooperation can be expected to reduce lifelong suicide risk. We implemented an "SOS output education" for junior high school students with cooperation from educators, government staff, and older people working as community volunteers. A total of 188 students were allocated…

  • Randomized Controlled Trial of the Picture Book Reading Program on Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged People

    Open AccessAi Iizuka, Hiroyuki Suzuki et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Background: To delay cognitive decline, it is important to engage actively in preventive activities from middle age (50-64 years of age). We have developed a cognitive intervention program using picture book reading, and demonstrated that it is effective for improving memory in older adults. However, the effect of the intervention on memory and other cognitive functions in middle-aged people has not been examined. The current study investigated t…

  • Changes in Self-estimated Step-Over Ability Among Older Adults

    Open AccessRyota Sakurai, Yoshinori Fujiwara et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2020Cited by: 1References: 1

    Objectives There is a growing body of literature examining age-related overestimation of one’s own physical ability, which is a potential risk of falls in older adults, but it is unclear what leads them to overestimate. This study aimed to examine 3-year longitudinal changes in self-estimated step-over ability, along with one key risk factor: low frequency of going outdoors (FG), which is a measure of poor daily physical activity. Method This coh…
