Japanese Mothers’ Communication on Sexuality Education with Elementary School-Age Children (7–11)
The purpose of this study was to explain Japanese mothers’ communication on sexuality education with elementary school-age children (7–11). There were six mothers who consented to participate in this study, sharing their thoughts, opinions, and experiences related to sexuality education. A constant comparative analysis method was used to analyze the data, with three themes emerging from the data: (a) teaching the importance of self-protective beh…
Cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index on metabolic syndrome in middle-aged Japanese adults under national health guidance
This study found significant independent and combined associations of CRF and BMI with MetS only in men, but not in women. However, prospective studies are warranted to confirm sex-specific associations of CRF and BMI with MetS
Determinant of factors associated with water requirement measured using the doubly labelled water method among older Japanese adults
Objective: Water is an essential nutrient for all organisms and is important for maintaining life and health. We aimed to develop a biomarker-calibrated equation for predicting water turnover (WT) and pre-formed water (PW) using the doubly labelled water (DLW) method. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: General older population from the Kyoto–Kameoka Study, Japan. Participants: The 141 participants aged ≥ 65 years were divided into a model de…
Gut microbiota alternation with training periodization and physical fitness in Japanese elite athletes
IntroductionThe gut microbiome plays a fundamental role in host homeostasis through regulating immune functions, enzyme activity, and hormone secretion. Exercise is associated with changes in gut microbiome composition and function. However, few studies have investigated the gut microbiome during training periodization. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between training periodization and the gut microbiome in elite athletes.…
Weight over-reporting is associated with low muscle mass among community-dwelling Japanese adults aged 40 years and older
Background Weight misperception adversely affects health-related quality of life (HRQol); however, few studies have evaluated the relationship between weight misperception and muscle mass. This study aimed to examine the relationship of weight misperception with low muscle mass using skeletal muscle index (SMI) estimated by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) among community-dwelling Japanese. Methods Participants were 525 Ja…
Factors associated with sarcopenia screened by finger-circle test among middle-aged and older adults

Simulating the Impact of Long-Term Care Prevention Among Older Japanese People on Healthcare Costs From 2020 to 2040 Using System Dynamics Modeling
Objectives: This study examined how healthcare costs might change by reducing long-term care needs among older Japanese people. Methods: A simulation model was constructed comprising two aging chains for independent and dependent people aged ≥65 years by sex. Changes in the base run from 2020 to 2040 were compared with those in two hypothetical scenarios: a 2% annual reduction in death rates (S1), and S1 plus a 2% annual reduction in the proporti…
The associations of eating behavior and dietary intake with metabolic syndrome in Japanese
Background The prevention of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major public health concern in Japan. The effects of the relationship between eating behavior and nutritional intake on MetS remained unclear. To evaluate nutrition's role in preventing or exacerbating MetS, we examined the associations among eating behavior, nutritional intake, and MetS for the baseline study in the cohort subjects undergone health checkups. Methods Four thousand and fo…
Association between objectively measured physical activity and body mass index with low back pain
The present study showed that both PA and BMI are related to persistent LBP. Also, the prevalence of persistent LBP became higher when PA low and high BMI are combined rather than the group of PA high and low BMI combination
Developing and Validating an Age-Independent Equation Using Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Estimation of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass and Establishing a Cutoff for Sarcopeni…
Background: Appendicular skeletal muscle (or lean) mass (ALM) estimated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is considered to be a preferred method for sarcopenia studies. However, DXA is expensive, has limited portability, and requires radiation exposure. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is inexpensive, easy to use, and portable; thus BIA might be useful in sarcopenia investigations. However, a large variety of models have been com…

Required muscle mass for preventing lifestyle-related diseases in Japanese women
The estimated required %MM (28.5% per body weight) can be used as one of the reference parameters of fitness level in Japanese women
