  • Characteristics of Probable Respiratory Sarcopenia Based on the Definitions of Four Professional Organizations—The Otassha Study

    Open AccessTakeshi Kera, Hisashi Kawai et al.ARTICLEGeriatrics and gerontology…2026

  • Social isolation, regardless of living alone, is associated with mortality

    Open AccessKeigo Imamura, Hisashi Kawai et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Social isolation has been recognized as a contributing factor to negative health outcomes. Although living alone is associated with health-related outcomes, existing findings are inconsistent. It is not the act of living alone that may predict poor health, but rather social isolation that can lead to increased mortality risk. This study investigated the combined associations of social isolation and living alone with mortality among …

  • Regular exercise reduces the risk of all-cause mortality in socially isolated older adults

    Open AccessManami Ejiri, Hisashi Kawai et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Social isolation is associated with increased mortality risk. On the other hand, some older adults prefer to be alone. Additionally, predictors of isolation are mostly unchanged across interventions. Therefore, knowledge of how to prevent negative health outcomes in isolation would be beneficial. One of the factors that reduces the risk of mortality is regular exercise. However, to date, no studies to our knowledge have examined whe…

  • Activity diversity is associated with the prevention of frailty in community-dwelling older adults

    Open AccessJunta Takahashi, Hisashi Kawai et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction A prior study showed an association between diversity in daily activities (type, frequency, evenness) and frailty in older adults. However, the causality of this relationship is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the relationship between activity diversity and frailty through a 2-year longitudinal study conducted among community-dwelling older adults. Methods We evaluated data from the 2018 and 2020 waves of the Otassha …

  • Social interaction trajectories and all-cause mortality in older adults

    Open AccessHisashi Kawai, Manami Ejiri et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: This longitudinal study aimed to identify aging trajectory patterns of social interaction by sex and determine the association between these patterns and all-cause mortality. Methods: Participants were 4,065 community-dwelling older adults (1849 men) in Japan, aged 65-89 years, who responded twice or more to a mail survey conducted between 2012 and 2020. Social interaction was examined through the frequency of face-to-face and non-f…

  • Comparison of Characteristics of Definition Criteria for Respiratory Sarcopenia—The Otassya Study

    Open AccessTakeshi Kera, Hisashi Kawai et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    We compared the definitions of respiratory sarcopenia obtained from a model based on forced vital capacity (FVC) and whole-body sarcopenia, as recommended by the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Nutrition (JARN), and a model based on the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), as recommended in our previous study. A total of 554 community-dwelling older people without airway obstruction who participated in our study in 2017 were included in the c…
