Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of a Community‐Based Sutra Chanting Program on Mental Well‐Being and Respiratory and Swallowing Functions in Older Adults
Supporting community integration and wellbeing after relocation among older adults living alone
This study was retrospectively registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) on July 7, 2025 (UMIN000058386)
Association between Dementia Severity and Oral Hygiene Management Issues in Older Adults with Alzheimer’s Disease
Oral hygiene management issues vary across types and clinical stages of dementia. We aimed to clarify the issues related to oral hygiene management in older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) according to stages defined by the Functional Assessment Staging of Alzheimer's Disease (FAST). In all, 397 records (45 men and 352 women; average age, 86.8 years; age range, 65-106) from older adults with AD were used for the cross-sectional study. We use…
Living Alone, Cognitive Function, and Well-Being of Japanese Older Men and Women
This study examined the interaction of living alone and cognitive decline in relation to the well-being of older men and women. We analyzed the data from a cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire survey of community-dwelling older adults in Tokyo, who were aged 65+ and not on long-term care. The questionnaire included the 10-item self-administered dementia checklist (SDC), the WHO-5 Well-Being Scale, a question on their living arrangemen…
The Relationship Between Cognitive Decline and All-Cause Mortality Is Modified by Living Alone and a Small Social Network
Although living alone and having a small social network represent an isolated status, their modifying effects were the opposite. These findings indicate that the isolation type should be considered when implementing support strategies for older adults with cognitive decline or dementia
Standard Values and Concurrent Validity of a Newly Developed Occlusal Force-Measuring Device among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Recently, an occlusal force-measuring device with a capacitive-type pressure-mapping sensor (OFMD-CPS) was developed. We aimed to establish age- and sex-specific standard values for OFMD-CPS-measured occlusal force (OF) and to assess the concurrent validity of the OFMD against another OF measuring system with a pressure-sensitive sheet (Dental Prescale II). Using data from a population-based study, we calculated the OFMD-CPS-measured OF means and…
Factors Predicting Tongue Pressure Decline among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
A limited number of longitudinal studies have explored factors contributing to decreases in tongue pressure (TP). This longitudinal study aimed to clarify the factors affecting TP decline among community-dwelling older adults. We followed the Takashimadaira Study participants with a baseline TP ≥ 30 kPa for 2 years. A TP of <30 kPa at follow-up was defined as TP decline. We used Poisson regression with robust standard errors to explore the factor…
Severity of Dementia Is Associated with Increased Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area
No studies have measured the periodontal inflamed surface area in people with dementia, although periodontal disease is a major health issue in this group. This study aimed to determine the relationship between dementia severity and periodontal inflamed surface area. An interdisciplinary team, including a dentist and psychiatrist, conducted an in-home survey of older people living in the community. This cross-sectional study was designed as part …
Relationship between Oral Hypofunction and Sarcopenia in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Oral hypofunction, resulting from a combined decrease in multiple oral functions, may affect systemic-condition deterioration; however, few studies have examined the association between oral hypofunction and general health among older adults. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the relationship between oral hypofunction and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults. We included 878 adults (268 men and 610 women, mean age 76.5 ± 8.3 yea…
Relationship between Chewing Ability and Nutritional Status in Japanese Older Adults
We concluded that chewing ability was closely associated with nutrient and different food groups' intake, as well as undernutrition, among Japanese community-dwelling elders. Thus, to ensure comprehensive nutritional management, nutritionists and dentists should collaborate when treating the same patients
Relationship between Mortality and Oral Function of Older People Requiring Long-Term Care in Rural Areas of Japan
Oral ingestion influences the life sustenance, quality of life, and dignity of older adults. Thus, it is an important issue in medical care and the welfare of older adults. The purpose of this four-year prospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between mortality and oral function among older adults who required long-term care and were living in different settings in a rural area of Japan. This study included 289 participants ag…
A Two-Year Longitudinal Study of the Association between Oral Frailty and Deteriorating Nutritional Status among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Community-dwelling older adults with oral frailty had an increased risk of deteriorating nutritional status
