Intersectionality of age and gender discrimination
This study investigates the effects of age and gender discrimination on job satisfaction, with a specific focus on older female workers who encounter the intersection of these two biases. To elucidate how these factors operate simultaneously, the study evaluates four conceptual models: (1) Additive, where each form of discrimination has a unique, cumulative influence; (2) Synergistic, where one form strengthens the influence of the other; (3) Inv…
Predictive power of psychosocial factors on learning practices among older Japanese adults based on organismic integration theory
Despite the importance of learning activities for older adults, the proportion of those engaging in such activities remains low. To devise interventions that would increase participation in learning, it is essential to analyze the psychosocial predictors of learning. This study employed a cross-sectional design, with data collected through a self-administrated questionnaire, and proposed two hypotheses: 1) Self-efficacy in learning, interest in l…
Perceived Age Discrimination has Different Effects on Japanese People's Wellbeing Based on Age Groups
This study elucidates the direct and indirect effects of perceived age discrimination on depressive symptoms and life satisfaction among young, middle-aged, and older adults—through the mediator variables of psychosocial resources and aging stereotypes. Data were collected through a web-based survey conducted in Japan. The total sample size was 2400: 400 men and women in each of the age groups 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 79. Our findings indica…
Interpreting Health Disparities
Difficulties and Outcomes in Managing Long-Term Care for Financially Challenged Older Adults in Japan
This study investigates the factors affecting difficulties and poor outcomes perceived by care managers (CMs) assisting older adults with financial difficulties in Japan’s insurance system. Based on the job demands-resources model, this study examines how CMs’ caseloads and case complexity (i.e., job demands), social support (i.e., job resources), and area socioeconomic status (SES) as structural factors influence these perceptions. In addition, …
Psychosocial predictors of young male workers’ discrimination against older workers in Japan
To create environments conducive to the wellbeing of workers, especially older workers, it is important to gain insight into ageism among young workers as a distinct segment in the workplace. However, this ageism remains unclear. This study explored the psychosocial predictors of discrimination against older Japanese workers by their younger male counterparts. Four models – Intergroup Contact Theory (ICT), Knowledge–Attitude–Behaviour Model (KABM…
Big Five Personality Traits, Social Networks, and Depression Among Older Adults in Japan
This study examines the mediating effect of social network size on depression among older adults in Japan in association with the Big Five personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 739 older adults (Mean age = 75.13, SD = 6.86) residing in Tokyo. Multiple mediation analyses estimated total, indirect, and direct effects between personality and depression. …
Trends in informal and formal home help use among older adults with disabilities in Japan
We examined trends and differences in home help (HH) use between 1999 and 2017 regarding living arrangements, gender, income and disability levels relating to the changes in Japan's long‐term care policy. HH is the help provided for activities of daily living to older adults with disabilities. We classified it into four types: only informal, informal and formal, only formal and neither and measured perceived adequacy of HH received by participant…
Mediators and Moderators of the Influences of Living Alone on Psychological Distress Among Japanese Older Adults
This study explored gender differences in mediators and moderators of the association between living alone and psychological distress among 2556 Japanese older adults aged 65 years and older. Putative mediators and moderators were physical health, income, informal networks, and social support. Living alone was significantly related to psychological distress only in men. Significant mediators were income in both genders and social support only in …
Long-term care preference among Japanese older adults
This study examined the differences in the preference for long-term care (LTC) by age, period and cohort (A-P-C) in Japanese older adults through repeated cross-sectional surveys from 1998 – before the establishment of LTC insurance – to 2016, in a suburban city of metropolitan Tokyo. We analysed the direct effects of A-P-C on the preference for LTC, as well as the interaction effects of A-P-C on preference by gender, family structure and activit…
Health, psychological, social and environmental mediators between socio-economic inequalities and participation in exercise among elderly Japanese
This study examined which of the identified health, psychological, social and environmental mediators could most effectively explain the socio-economic status (SES)-based differences in participation in exercise among elderly Japanese. The candidates for mediators were composed based on the socio-ecological model. A representative sample of people 65 years and older living in two areas with different residential SES in Tokyo, Japan produced 739 e…
Social Networks' Health Habits Over Life Course and Late-life Health Habits
Objectives: In this study, we examined Japanese older adults' health habits (healthy diet, exercise, and nonsmoking) using 4 models: sensitive period, pathway, social mobility, and cumulative effects. Methods: A representative cross-sectional survey of people 65 years and older, living in Tokyo, produced 739 effective respondents. Health habits in social networks over the life course, at junior high school, age 20, and age 40, were measured throu…
The influence of lifecourse financial strains on the later-life health of the Japanese as assessed by four models based on different health indicators
In this study, four models used for assessing the influence of lifecourse financial strains on later-life health (the latent period effects, pathway, social mobility and accumulative effects models) were tested in the context of Japan by using different types of health indicators: comorbidity, disabled activities of daily living, disabled cognitive function, self-rated health and depressive symptoms. We hypothesised that suitable models for descr…
Caregivers' decisions on placement of family members in long-term care facilities in japan
Factors influencing caregivers' decisions to place their older family members in nursing homes were explored. Data were based on interviews with primary caregivers, and patient records of a Geriatric Intermediate Care Facility during the eight-year data collection period. Findings show that over half of the primary caregivers (55%) decided to place their older family member in a nursing home due to their incapability of providing care rather than…
Productive Roles, Gender, and Depressive Symptoms
Using three waves of panel data collected from a national sample of Japanese adults between the ages of 55 and 64 years, we examined the relationship between productive roles and depressive symptoms. Our particular emphasis was on multiple roles, role transitions, and gender differences. We found that, among men, engaging in more hours of paid or volunteer work was related to fewer depressive symptoms. Although men who lost their paid work role r…
Factors Relating to Organizational Commitment of Older Male Employees in Japan
Trends in old-age functioning and disability in Japan, 1993-2002
Disability is a burden to individuals and society. Population ageing, combined with the fact that disability is most common among the elderly, has focused attention on trends in old-age disability. This study estimates trends in functioning and disability among Japanese elderly from 1993 to 2002 and contrasts the patterns with those found in the USA. Japan is an especially interesting country because its age structure is relatively old, and it cu…
Mental health among older adults in Japan
Longitudinal Changes in the Well-Being of Japanese Caregivers
This study examined how the psychological well-being of Japanese caregivers changed over time; it also examined the variation across kin relationships with care recipients. Three interviews over the course of 30 months were conducted with a representative sample of community-dwelling caregivers of frail elderly persons living in a Tokyo suburb. Latent growth modeling demonstrated that mean levels of both depression and emotional exhaustion worsen…
Work at Older Ages in Japan
The emphasis on life course experiences and work-family interdependence characterizing recent research on retirement in the United States is clearly relevant in Japan as well. To better understand later-life labor force participation in Japan, subsequent research should incorporate more direct measures of life course experiences and family relationships and attempt to make explicit cross-national comparisons of these relationships
Old Age Mortality in Japan
The observation that educational crossover exists only among elderly men may be because of gender and SES differences in causes of death, morbidity, and health behavior. On the other hand, possible explanations for age differences in the educational crossover include selective survival and cohort effects
Transitions in Living Arrangements Among Elders in Japan
Poor health does trigger changes in living arrangement. Both physical (i.e., chronic conditions and functional status) and mental (i.e., depressed affect) health conditions play a role in such transitions. Because health conditions are correlated with competing risks of mortality, attrition, and proxy interview, health effects on changes in living arrangement are likely underestimated
Religion, Death of a Loved One, and Hypertension Among Older Adults in Japan
The results suggest how one overlooked dimension of religion (i.e., religious beliefs) may bolster the health of older people in the face of adversity
The Impact of Social Ties on Depressive Symptoms in U.S. and Japanese Elderly
This study examines the effects of social ties (with spouse, children, friends, neighbors, other relatives, and community groups) on depressive symptom levels in U.S. and Japanese adults aged 60 and over. Nationally representative survey data from the United States ( N = 1,419) and Japan ( N = 2,200) indicate that having a spouse, or increased contacts with friends, neighbors and relatives was associated with fewer depressive symptoms in both sam…
Religion, Social Support, and Health among the Japanese Elderly
We address three issues in this paper: (1) Is religion related to self-rated health, (2) do these salubrious effects arise because religion encourages people to provide help to significant others, and (3) is the relationship between religion and helping others more evident among older men than elderly women? We analyze the relationships among religion, support giving, and health with data provided by a national probability sample of 2,153 older p…

Transitions in Functional Status and Active Life Expectancy among Older People in Japan
This study analyzes the patterns and determinants of the transitions in functional status among elderly Japanese persons. Data for this research came from a two-wave national probability sample survey of persons aged 60 and over conducted between 1987 and 1990 in Japan. The study focuses on the transitions from two states of origin, "not disable" and "disabled," to three states of destination, "not disabled," "disabled," and "dead." Through multi…

Social Networks, Social Support, and Mortality Among Older People in Japan
This study examined the effects of social networks and social support on the mortality of a national probability sample of 2,200 elderly Japanese persons during a three-year period. The direct and indirect effects of social relationships were assessed by using hazard rate models in conjunction with ordinary least squares regressions. Among the five measures of social relationships, social participation is shown to have a strong impact on mortalit…

Transitions in cognitive status among the aged in Japan
Transitions in Chronic Low Back Pain in Japanese Older Adults
This study examines the patterns and determinants of chronic low back pain over a three-year period among older adults in Japan. We tested our model based on a sociomedical perspective, using a two-wave national probability sample survey of persons aged 60 and older (N = 2,200) conducted in 1987 and 1990 in Japan. At baseline, the prevalence of chronic low back pain was 18 percent. Among those who were free of back pain at baseline, the probabili…
