    OBJECTIVE: To determine the longitudinal association between chronic pain in the lower extremities and low back and the odds of recurrent falls in middle-aged and older people. DESIGN: A cohort study. SETTING: Communities in Japan. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 7540 community-dwelling volunteers aged 40-74 years (N=7540). The baseline survey was a self-administered questionnaire conducted between 2011-2013. Predictors were presence of chronic pain in the knee, foot or ankle, and low back, with the degree of pain categorized as none, very mild/mild, moderate, or severe/very severe. Covariates in the multivariate model of chronic pain in a site were demographics, body mass index, physical activity level, disease history, and chronic pain in the other 2 sites. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs). INTERVENTIONS: None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Recurrent falls in the year before the 5-year follow-up survey. RESULTS: Mean participant age was 60.2 years. Higher degrees of chronic pain were associated with higher odds of recurrent falls for the knee (P=.0002) with a higher OR of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.11-1.97), for the foot or ankle (P=.0001) with a higher OR of 1.97 (95% CI: 1.36-2.86), and for the low back (P=.0470) with a higher OR of 1.45 (95% CI: 1.09-1.91) in those with any degree of pain relative to those without pain. Higher degrees of chronic knee pain were associated with higher odds of recurrent falls in women (P=.0005), but not in men (P=.0813). Meanwhile, higher degrees of chronic low back pain were associated with the odds of recurrent falls in men (P=.0065), but not in women (P=.8735). CONCLUSIONS: Chronic pain in the knee, foot or ankle, and lower back was independently and dose-dependently associated with a higher risk of recurrent falls. A marked sex-dependent difference was also noted in the association.

    BACKGROUND: Sleep is a potentially modifiable factor associated with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, but current evidence supporting this is insufficient. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether sleep duration and bedtime patterns are associated with the risk of dementia among middle-aged and older people. METHODS: This cohort study had an eight-year follow-up period. Participants were 13,601 community-dwelling people aged 40-74 years living in Murakami (Niigata, Japan). Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Predictors were self-reported sleep duration and bedtime, and the outcome was newly-diagnosed dementia determined using the long-term care insurance database. Covariates were demographic characteristics, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, total physical activity, insomnia symptoms, disease history, and either bedtime or sleep duration. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS: The mean age of participants at baseline was 59.2 years. Over a mean follow-up period of 8.0 years, 319 cases of dementia were observed. A long self-reported sleep duration relative to the reference sleep duration (7 hours) was associated with increased dementia risk, with the "8 hours" group (adjusted HR = 1.30, 95% CI:0.99-1.73) and "≥9 hours" group (adjusted HR = 1.46, 95% CI:1.00-2.15) having an increased risk (marginally significant) relative to the reference group. Early bedtime was associated with increased dementia risk (adjusted p for trend = 0.0010), with the "21 : 00 or earlier" group (adjusted HR = 1.61, 95% CI:1.14-2.28) having an increased risk relative to the reference ("23 : 00"). CONCLUSIONS: A long self-reported sleep duration and early bedtime are both associated with increased dementia risk in middle-aged and older people.

    BACKGROUND: The association between body mass index (BMI) and dementia risk is heterogeneous across age groups and might be influenced by sex. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to clarify sex differences in the association between BMI and dementia risk in community-dwelling people. METHODS: This cohort study with an 8-year follow-up targeted 13,802 participants aged 40-74 years at baseline in 2011-2013. A self-administered questionnaire requested information on body size, including height, weight, and waist circumference (the values of which were validated by direct measurement), socio-demographics, lifestyle, and disease history. BMI was calculated and categorized as < 18.5 (underweight), 18.5-20.6 (low-normal), 20.7-22.7 (mid-normal), 22.8-24.9 (high-normal), 25.0-24.9 (overweight), and≥30.0 kg/m2 (obese). Incident cases of dementia were obtained from the long-term care insurance database. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS: The mean age of participants was 59.0 years. In men, higher BMI was associated with lower dementia risk (fully-adjusted p for trend = 0.0086). In women, the association between BMI and dementia risk was U-shaped; the "underweight," "low-normal," and "overweight" groups had a significantly higher risk (fully-adjusted HR = 2.12, 2.08, and 1.78, respectively) than the reference ("high-normal" group). These findings did not change after excluding dementia cases which occurred within the first four years of the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Overweight/obese women, but not men, had an increased risk of dementia, suggesting that sex differences in adiposity might be involved in the development of dementia.

    BACKGROUND: Association between vitamin D levels and the occurrence of depression are not always consistent. The present cohort study aimed to determine this association in older adults, using a method for measuring vitamin D levels which is more accurate than those used in previous studies. METHODS: Participants were 3447 individuals aged 40-74 years without depressive symptoms at baseline who participated in the 5-year follow-up survey. The baseline investigation, including a self-administered questionnaire survey and blood collection, was conducted in 2011-2013. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels were measured, and divided into overall quartiles summed up by sub-quartiles and stratified by age, sex, and season. The outcome was depressive symptoms determined by the CES-D (11-item, cut-off score of 6/7) 5 years later. Covariates were demographics, lifestyles, baseline CES-D score, and disease history. RESULTS: Mean plasma 25(OH)D levels were 58.0 nmol/L in men and 45.7 in women (P < 0.0001), and cumulative incidences of depressive symptoms were 249/1577 (15.8 %) in men and 313/1870 (16.7 %) in women (P = 0.4526). The lower 25(OH)D quartile group had higher adjusted ORs in men and women combined (P for trend = 0.0107) and women (P for trend = 0.0003), but not in men. Adjusted ORs of the lowest quartile group were significantly higher than the highest group in men and women combined (OR = 1.39, 95 % CI: 1.06-1.81) and women (OR = 1.89, 95 % CI: 1.31-2.72). LIMITATION: Depressive symptoms were self-reported. CONCLUSIONS: Low vitamin D levels were associated with a high risk of depressive symptoms, especially in women. Women are thus considered a major target for preventing vitamin D deficiency to address depression.

    OBJECTIVE: Alcohol drinking and tobacco smoking have impacts on lifestyle-related diseases, but their association with dementia remains a debated topic. This study aimed to examine longitudinal associations between alcohol consumption, smoking, and dementia risk in middle-aged and older Japanese people. METHODS: This study used a cohort design with an 8-year follow-up. Participants were community-dwelling Japanese people (N = 13,802) aged 40-74 years. The baseline survey, including a self-administered questionnaire, was conducted in 2011-2013. Predictors were alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking. The outcome was incident dementia obtained from a long-term care insurance database. Covariates were demographics, lifestyle factors, body mass index, general health status, and history of stroke, diabetes, and depression. RESULTS: Participant mean age was 59.0 years. The 1-149, 150-299, and 300-449 g ethanol/week groups had significantly lower adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (0.62, 0.59, and 0.47, respectively) compared with the reference group, with no significant linear association. HRs increased toward 1 when past-drinkers and those with poor health status and a disease history were excluded (0.80, 0.66, and 0.82, respectively). Higher smoking levels were dose-dependently associated with a higher HR (adjusted P for trend = 0.0105), with the ≥20 cigarettes/day group having a significantly higher adjusted HR (1.80). Heavy drinkers (≥449 g ethanol/week) with smoking habits, but not those without smoking habits, had higher dementia risk (P for interaction = 0.0046). CONCLUSION: Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is associated with decreased dementia risk, and smoking is dose-dependently associated with increased dementia risk, with an interaction between high alcohol consumption and smoking on dementia risk.

    BACKGROUND: Falls are important causes of injury and mortality in older people, and associated medical costs can be enormous. Physical activity (PA) is a potential preventive factor for falls. However, few studies have examined the effect of different types of PA on fall prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PA levels and the incidence of recurrent falls by type of PA in middle-aged and older people. METHODS: This cohort study targeted 7,561 community-dwelling individuals aged 40-74 years who did not experience recurrent falls in the year before baseline. Information on PA levels, demographics, body size, lifestyle, and fall/disease history was obtained using a self-administered questionnaire in the baseline survey. Levels of total PA, leisure-time PA, and non-leisure-time PA (occupation, commuting, and housework) were estimated using metabolic equivalent (MET) scores (MET-h/day; hours spent on a given activity per day multiplied by its MET intensity). PA levels were categorized into four groups. Falls were recorded as none, once, or twice or more (recurrent falls). The outcome of the study was the incidence of recurrent falls in the past year before a survey conducted 5 years after the baseline survey. Logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate odds ratios for recurrent falls. RESULTS: Higher total PA and non-leisure-time PA levels were associated with a higher risk of recurrent falls (P for trend = 0.0002 and 0.0001, respectively), with the highest total PA and non-leisure-time PA groups having a significantly higher adjusted OR (1.96 [95%CI:1.33-2.88] and 2.15 [95%CI:1.48-3.14], respectively) relative to the lowest group (reference). As for leisure-time PA, the medium group had a significantly lower adjusted OR (0.70 [95%CI:0.49-0.99]) relative to the reference group. By sex, the adjusted OR in the medium leisure-time PA group was significantly lower relative to the reference group in women (0.50 [95%CI: 0.29-0.85]) but not in men. CONCLUSIONS: Medium level leisure-time PA reduces the risk of recurrent falls in middle-aged and older people, whereas higher level non-leisure-time PA is associated with a higher risk of recurrent falls.

    OBJECTIVE: Although physical activity (PA) in late life is considered a preventive factor for dementia, effects of different types of PAs on the development of dementia in early old age are unclear. This study aimed to determine the effect of leisure-time and non-leisure-time PAs on dementia risk in middle-aged and older adults during an 8-year follow-up. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 13,773 community-dwelling individuals aged 40-74 years who completed the baseline self-administered questionnaire survey of the Murakami cohort study in 2011-2013. METHODS: Main predictors were leisure-time and non-leisure-time (commute, occupational work, and housework) PAs as assessed by MET score (MET-hour/d). The outcome was newly developed dementia determined using a long-term care insurance database. Covariates included demographics, lifestyle, body size, disease history, and PA level. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: Mean age of participants was 59.0 (SD 9.3) years. Higher levels of leisure-time PA were associated with lower HRs (adjusted P for trend <.001), with all tertiles having significantly lower HRs (low: 0.71, 95% CI 0.51-0.99; medium: 0.59, 95% CI 0.43-0.81; high: 0.55, 95% CI 0.41-0.75) relative to the reference (zero). Higher quartiles of non-leisure-time PA were associated with lower adjusted HRs for dementia (adjusted P for trend < .001), with the second-fourth quartiles having significantly lower HRs (second: 0.73, 95% CI 0.54-0.98; third: 0.59, 95% CI 0.43-0.81; fourth: 0.55, 95% CI 0.41-0.75) relative to the lowest quartile. These associations were robust regardless of sex and age group. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Both leisure-time and non-leisure-time PAs are independently and robustly associated with a reduced risk of dementia.

    Several studies have reported an association between sarcopenia and depression. Their results, however, are inconsistent, partly due to small sample sizes and lack of consideration of important confounders. The present study aimed to cross-sectionally examine this association in community-dwelling people in Japan. This study used baseline data from the Yuzawa cohort study (age ≥ 40 years), with the final analysis population comprising 2,466 participants. A self-administered questionnaire was used to elicit information related to sarcopenia, depressive symptoms, demographic characteristics, anthropometrics, disease history, and lifestyles. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using SARC-F, a validated questionnaire including components of Strength, Assistance in walking, Rising from a chair, Climbing stairs, and Falls. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 11-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). For depressive symptoms, prevalence ratios (PRs) were calculated, and odds ratio (ORs) were obtained using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses. Mean age of participants was 61.7 years (standard deviation = 11.8), and 10.5% and 34.7% had sarcopenia and depressive symptoms, respectively. Sarcopenic individuals had a significantly higher PR (2.00), unadjusted OR (3.67), and adjusted OR (4.96) compared to non-sarcopenic individuals, with an estimated adjusted PR of 2.7. There was a significant dose-dependent association between SARC-F scores and depressive symptoms in sarcopenic individuals (adjusted P for trend = 0.0028). In conclusion, sarcopenia and depressive symptoms were robustly associated in community-dwelling, middle-aged and older people in Japan. However, the direction of this association is unclear, and a future cohort study will be needed to determine causality.

    BACKGROUND: Income inequality has dramatically increased worldwide, and there is a need to re-evaluate the association between socio-economic status (SES) and depression. Relative contributions of household income and education to depression, as well as their interactions, have not been fully evaluated. This study aimed to examine the association between SES and depressive symptoms in Japanese adults, focusing on interactions between education and household income levels. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from baseline surveys of two cohort studies. Participants were 38,499 community-dwelling people aged 40-74 years who participated in baseline surveys of the Murakami cohort study (2011-2012) and Uonuma cohort study (2012-2015) conducted in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Information regarding marital status, education level, household income, occupation, activities of daily living (ADL), and history of cancer, myocardial infarction, stroke, and diabetes was obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were examined using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain odds ratios (ORs). Covariates included age, sex, marital status, education, household income, occupation, ADL, and disease history. RESULTS: Individuals with higher education levels had lower ORs (adjusted P for trend = 0.0007) for depressive symptoms, independently of household income level. The OR of the university-or-higher group was significantly lower than that of the junior high school group (adjusted OR = 0.79). Individuals with lower household income levels had higher ORs (adjusted P for trend< 0.0001) for depressive symptoms, independently of education level. The type of occupation was not associated with depressive symptoms. In subgroup analyses according to household income level, individuals with higher education levels had significantly lower ORs in the lowest- and lower-income groups (adjusted P for trend = 0.0275 and 0.0123, respectively), but not in higher- and highest-income groups (0.5214 and 0.0915, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Both education and household income levels are independently associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms, with household income levels showing a more robust association with depressive symptoms than education levels. This suggests that a high household income level may offset the risk of depressive symptoms from having a low education level.

    AIM: Although menstrual/reproductive factors are known to be associated with physical disability, little is known about these associations in relation to activities of daily living (ADL). This study aimed to clarify associations between menstrual/reproductive factors and ADL limitations in peri- and postmenopausal women. STUDY DESIGN: A nested case-control study of the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective (JPHC) Study. METHODS: The main outcome measure was self-reported ADL levels in the 10-year follow-up questionnaire survey of the JPHC Study conducted between 2000 and 2004 (N = 36 460). Women who "live inside almost independently, but go out with assistance" or had a lower level of activity were considered to have ADL limitations ("cases"), and all others served as controls. Candidate menstrual/reproductive predictors were as follows: menarcheal age, menopausal status, menopausal age, regularity of menses, menstrual cycle, number of pregnancies, age at first pregnancy, number of deliveries, age at first delivery, and breast feeding. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted, and odds ratios adjusted for age and past lifestyle were calculated. RESULTS: Mean ages of cases (N = 592) and controls (N = 38 656) were 68.3 (SD = 7.6) and 61.1 (SD = 7.7) years, respectively. With respect to menopausal age, groups aged <45 and ≥55 years had significantly higher adjusted ORs (1.44, 95% CI: 1.09-1.90 and 1.55, 95%CI: 1.09-2.18, respectively) than the reference group (50-54 years). Multiparous women had significantly lower ORs than nulliparous women. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that menopausal age and parity may predict future ADL limitations in women.

    <title>Abstract</title><sec>
    <title>Background</title>
    Beneficial effects of napping on cognition have been suggested in cross-sectional studies. This study aimed to clarify longitudinal associations between cognitive decline and sleep characteristics, particularly daytime napping, over a 5-year period in older adults.


    </sec><sec>
    <title>Methods</title>
    Study participants were 389 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years living in Ojiya City, Niigata, Japan. Baseline and follow-up examinations were conducted in 2011–2013 and 2016–2018, respectively. Trained nurses visited and interviewed participants to collect the following information at baseline and follow-up: demographic characteristics, disease history, lifestyle habits including bedtime, sleeping hours, and daytime nap duration, and cognitive function. The assessment of cognitive function was performed using the revised Hasegawa’s dementia scale (HDS-R), with cognitive decline defined as a change in the HDS-R of ≤ − 3 over 5 years. Odds ratios (ORs) for cognitive decline were calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis.


    </sec><sec>
    <title>Results</title>
    Mean age of participants was 74.6 years (SD 6.4), and the cumulative incidence of cognitive decline was 106/389 (27.3%). The adjusted OR for 1–29 min daytime napping was significantly lower compared to that for no napping (OR = 0.47, 95%CI: 0.23–0.96). Earlier bedtime was associated with cognitive decline (adjusted P for trend = 0.0480).


    </sec><sec>
    <title>Conclusion</title>
    Short daytime napping (&lt; 30 min) reduces the risk of cognitive decline over 5 years for community-dwelling older people. A future study will be necessary to confirm the effect of short napping on the reduction of risk for clinically diagnosed dementia.

    Although dietary calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K are nutritional factors associated with osteoporosis, little is known about their effects on incident osteoporotic fractures in East Asian populations. This study aimed to determine whether intakes of these nutrients predict incident osteoporotic fractures. We adopted a cohort-study design with a 5-year follow-up. Subjects were 12,794 community-dwelling individuals (6,301 men and 6,493 women) aged 40-74 years. Dietary intakes of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K were assessed with a validated food frequency questionnaire. Covariates were demographic and lifestyle factors. All incident cases of major osteoporotic limb fractures, including those of the distal forearm, neck of humerus, neck or trochanter of femur, and lumbar or thoracic spine were collected. Hazard ratios (HRs) for energy-adjusted calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K were calculated with the residual method. Mean age was 58.8 years (SD=9.3). Lower energy-adjusted intakes of calcium and vitamin K in women were associated with higher adjusted HRs of total fractures (P for trend=0.005 and 0.08, respectively). When vertebral fracture was the outcome, P for trend values for calcium and vitamin K were 0.03 and 0.006, respectively, and HRs of the lowest and highest (reference) intake groups were 2.03 (95%CI:1.08-3.82) and 2.26 (95%CI:1.19-4.26), respectively. In men, there were null associations between incident fractures and each of the three nutrient intakes. Lower intakes of dietary calcium and vitamin K were independent, lifestyle-related risk factors for osteoporotic fracture in women but not men. These associations were robust for vertebral fractures, but not for limb fractures.

    It has been reported that many elderly people have low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and that serum 25(OH)D levels may have a relationship with cognitive function. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels and cognitive function in a Japanese population. This cross-sectional study was performed as a part of the Project in Sado for Total Health (PROST). The PROST study evaluated cognitive state and serum vitamin D level from June 2011 to November 2013 for 740 patients (431 men and 309 women). The Mini-Mental State Examination-Japanese version (MMSE-J) and serum 25(OH)D level measurements were used as assessment tools. Cognitive impairment was defined using MMSE-J ≤ 23 as a cutoff. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) for low MMSE-J scores. The average subject age was 68.1 years, the average MMSE- J score was 25.9, and the average 25(OH)D level was 24.6 ng/mL. Significant ORs for cognitive impairment were observed for both high age and low serum 25(OH)D. The adjusted OR for the lowest versus highest serum 25(OH)D quartiles was 2.70 (95% confidence interval 1.38-5.28, P = 0.0110). Low serum 25(OH)D levels were independently associated with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment.

    Background
    Few empirical studies have been conducted to identify modifiable factors that may affect cognitive impairment in Japanese individuals. The present study aimed to clarify whether body mass and lifestyle are associated with cognitive impairment in Japanese middle-aged and elderly individuals.
    Methods
    Subjects were 1814 community-dwelling individuals aged 44-79 years, all of whom were participants of the Murakami Cohort Study baseline survey conducted in 2011-2013. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in 2014-2016, and cognitive impairment, the outcome measure, was defined as an MMSE score &lt;24. Predictor variables were body mass index (BMI), long-term weight changes from 20 years of age, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking, and physical activity levels, which were obtained from a self-administered questionnaire in the baseline survey. Covariates were sex, age, education level, and histories of stroke and diabetes. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs).
    Results
    The prevalence of overall cognitive impairment was 6.2%. The adjusted ORs of cognitive impairment in the lowest (&lt;[-4] kg) (OR = 2.70, 95% CI, 1.18-6.20) and second ([-4]-[0] kg) (OR = 2.37, 95% CI, 1.04-5.37) quintiles for long-term weight change were significantly higher than the reference 4th quintile ([+4]-[+7] kg). The adjusted OR in the highest quintile &gt;=[+8] kg) was 2.24 (95% CI, 0.99-5.04). Current BMI was not associated with cognitive impairment.
    Conclusions
    Long-term weight loss is associated with cognitive impairment in Japanese middle-aged and elderly individuals. Because the present study was retrospective in nature, prospective studies should also be conducted for further characterization of this association.

    Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been reported to be associated with cognitive function; however, whether or not this relationship involves causality is uncertain. This study aimed to determine whether HRQOL levels are associated with subsequent changes in cognitive function in elderly people requiring care.
    Participants were 74 community-dwelling elderly people utilizing the long-term care service (69 % women) who underwent physical and psychological examinations at baseline and follow-up. The outcome was 2-year changes in Mini-Mental State Examination (a dagger MMSE) score. The potential predictor was HRQOL level assessed by the EuroQol 5 dimension (EQ-5D) score (utility value) at baseline; other variables were body mass index (BMI), Barthel index, grip strength, Geriatric Depression Scale, serum albumin, and serum hemoglobin. Associations between EQ-5D and a dagger MMSE scores were assessed using correlation analysis, regression analysis, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
    Mean age, BMI, and Barthel index at baseline were 81.6 years [standard deviation (SD) 8.2], 21.1 kg/m(2) (SD 4.0), and 79 (SD 20), respectively; the mean a dagger MMSE score was -2.2 (SD 5.1). EQ-5D was significantly correlated with a dagger MMSE (partial r = 0.375, P = 0.0012). The mean a dagger MMSE values of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd EQ-5D quartiles were -4.2 (adjusted P = 0.0050), -2.6 (adjusted P = 0.0476), and -2.4 (adjusted P = 0.0298), respectively, which were lower than the -0.1 of the reference 4th quartile.
    HRQOL as assessed by EQ-5D is associated with longitudinal cognitive decline in frail elderly people, and cognitive function may be maintained in individuals with high HRQOL levels.

    Background/Aims: Evidence on modifiable factors associated with cognitive impairment in Japanese patients is scarce. This study aimed to determine modifiable factors for cognitive impairment in a Japanese hospital-based population. Methods: Subjects of this cross-sectional study were 1,143 patients of Sado General Hospital (Niigata, Japan) registered in the Project in Sado for Total Health (PROST) between June 2008 and September 2014. We assessed disease history, body mass index (BMI), leisure time physical activity, walking time, smoking and drinking habits, and consumption of vegetables, fruits, and green tea as predictors, with cognitive impairment defined by the Mini-Mental State Examination (score &lt
    24) as an outcome. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for cognitive impairment. Results: The mean subject age was 68.9 years, and the prevalence of cognitive impairment was 21.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that age (p &lt
    0.001), low BMI (&lt
    21.1
    OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.12-1.72), a history of stroke (p = 0.003), a history of myocardial infarction (p = 0.038), low fruit consumption (p for trend = 0.012), and low green tea consumption (p for trend = 0.032) were independently associated with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment. Conclusions: Modifiable factors, such as low BMI, low fruit consumption, and low green tea consumption, are associated with cognitive impairment. Longitudinal studies will be needed to confirm these findings.

    AIM: Evidence is lacking regarding associations between smoking/drinking and falls. This study aimed to determine longitudinal associations between smoking, alcohol consumption, and fall risk in middle-aged and older people. METHODS: Participants of this cohort study were 7542 community-dwelling Japanese people aged 40-74 years. The baseline self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in 2011-2013, and the second survey was conducted 5 years later. Predictors were smoking level and alcohol consumption. The outcome was the occurrence of recurrent falls. Information on self-reported falls in the previous year was obtained. Covariates were demographics, lifestyle factors, body mass index, general health status, and disease history. RESULTS: The mean age of participants was 60.3 years. Higher smoking levels were associated with a higher recurrent fall risk (adjusted P for trend = 0.0386), with the ≥20 cigarettes/day group having a higher risk (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.93, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-3.10) than lifetime non-smokers. The association between smoking and recurrent fall risk tended to be stronger in drinkers than in non-drinkers (adjusted OR = 2.75, 95% CI: 1.57-4.81), suggesting a potential interaction (P for interaction = 0.1035). Although there were no dose-dependent associations between alcohol consumption and recurrent fall risk overall, moderate alcohol consumption (150-299 g ethanol/week) was associated with a lower risk (adjusted OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.33-0.98) compared with no consumption in men. CONCLUSIONS: Smoking, but not alcohol consumption, is dose-dependently associated with high fall risk. However, moderate alcohol consumption may be associated with a decreased fall risk. Moreover, there may be a potential interaction between smoking and alcohol consumption on fall risk. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; ••: ••-••.

    Non-invasive and simple methods enabling easy identification of individuals at high risk of cognitive decline are needed as preventive measures against dementia. This pilot study aimed to explore protein biomarkers that can predict cognitive decline using urine, which can be collected non-invasively. Study subjects were selected from participants in a cohort study of middle-aged and older community-dwelling adults who underwent cognitive testing using the Mini-Mental State Examination and provided spot urine samples at two time points with an interval of approximately 5 years. Seven participants whose cognitive function declined 4 or more points from baseline (Group D) and 7 sex- and age-matched participants whose cognitive function remained within the normal range during the same period (Group M) were selected. Urinary proteomics using mass spectrometry was performed and discriminant models were created using orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). OPLS-DA yielded two models that significantly discriminated between the two groups at baseline and follow-up. Both models had ORM1, ORM2, and SERPINA3 in common. A further OPLS-DA model using baseline ORM1, ORM2, and SERPINA3 data showed similar predictive performance for data at follow-up as it did for baseline data (sensitivity: 0.85, specificity: 0.85), with the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis yielding an area under the curve of 0.878. This prospective study demonstrated the potential for using urine to identify biomarkers of cognitive decline.

    INTRODUCTION: Secular changes in hip fracture incidence have been reported in the last few decades in Japan, but whether long-term bone mineral density (BMD) is also changing is unclear. This study aimed to determine whether BMD of Japanese women has changed over time. METHODS: Subjects were 10,649 adult women who underwent BMD measurement in a health check-up population in Niigata, Japan, between 1995 and 2013. BMD of the distal, non-dominant forearm was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Demographic information and BMI were also obtained. Secular trends were determined by linear regression analysis. RESULTS: BMD of subjects in their 40's decreased significantly in the age-adjusted model (P for trend=0.0162), but not in the age- and BMI-adjusted model (P for trend=0.2171). BMD of subjects in their 50's decreased marginally in the age-adjusted model (P for trend=0.0535), but not in the age- and BMI-adjusted model (P for trend=0.6601). BMDs of subjects in their 30's and 60's did not significantly change, while BMIs of subjects in their 40's-60's decreased significantly. CONCLUSIONS: A secular decrease in BMD, partly attributed to decreases in BMI, was observed in middle-aged Japanese women from 1995 to 2013. Measures to help maintain suitable BMI will be necessary to prevent a decrease in BMD among women.

    AIMS: A prior meta-analysis found that obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2 ) was associated with a high fall risk, while being overweight (BMI≥25, <30 kg/m2 ) was associated with the lowest fall risk. However, whether these associations hold true for East Asians is unknown. This study aimed to assess the association between BMI and incidence of recurrent falls in Japanese aged 40-74 years. METHODS: This 5-year follow-up cohort study involved 7538 community-dwelling individuals who did not experience recurrent falls in the year before the baseline study. Information on demographics, body size, lifestyle, and disease history was obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. BMI was categorized as <18.5 (underweight), 18.5-20.6 (low-normal), 20.7-22.7 (mid-normal, reference), 22.8-24.9 (high-normal), and ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 (overweight). The outcome was recurrent falls reported, and fall history in the previous year was recorded as none, once, or twice or more (recurrent falls). RESULTS: Mean BMI was 23.5 kg/m2 (SD 2.9) for men and 22.7 kg/m2 (SD 3.2) for women. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for recurrent falls in the BMI ≥25 group was significantly higher (1.41, 95%CI: 1.02-1.93) than that in the reference group. The adjusted OR in the BMI ≥25 group was significantly higher than that in the reference group for the age ≥ 60 subgroup (1.62, 95%CI: 1.09-2.40), but not for the age < 60 subgroup (OR = 1.04, 95%CI: 0.60-1.80). CONCLUSIONS: Being overweight may be a risk factor for recurrent falls in community-dwelling older Japanese. Further studies are needed to determine the underlying mechanism.

    <title>Abstract</title>Physical activity is associated with subjective well-being. In rural communities, however, physical activity may be affected by environmental factors (e.g., nature and socioecological factors). We examined the association of two physical activities in rural life (farming activity and snow removal) with subjective well-being in terms of happiness and <italic>ikigai</italic> (a Japanese word meaning purpose in life). In this cross-sectional study, we analysed data collected from community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 40 years in the 2012–2014 survey of the Uonuma cohort study, Niigata, Japan. Happiness (<italic>n</italic> = 31,848) and <italic>ikigai</italic> (<italic>n</italic> = 31,785) were evaluated with respect to farming activity from May through November and snow removal from December through April by using an ordinal logistic regression model with adjustments for potential confounders. The analyses were conducted in 2019. Among the participants who reported some farming or snow-removal time, median farming and snow-removal time (minutes per day) was 90.0 and 64.3 for men and 85.7 and 51.4 for women, respectively. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that longer time farming was associated with greater happiness and <italic>ikigai</italic> in men (adjusted odds ratio for first vs. fourth quartile: happiness = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01, 1.35; <italic>ikigai</italic> = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.10, 1.50), and also in women (adjusted odds ratio for first vs. fourth quartile: happiness = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.001, 1.36; <italic>ikigai</italic> = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.20, 1.67). More snow-removal time was inversely associated with happiness and with <italic>ikigai</italic> in women only (adjusted odds ratio for first vs. fourth quartile: happiness = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.67, 0.85; <italic>ikigai</italic> = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.69, 0.88). Our findings showed that physical activity in rural life was associated with happiness and with <italic>ikigai</italic>, and gender differences were observed in their associations with more snow-removal time. These results may be useful in helping to identify people in rural communities who are vulnerable in terms of psychological well-being.

    An easily accessible and non-invasive biomarker for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is needed. Evidence suggests that metabolic dysfunction underlies the pathophysiology of AD. While urine is a non-invasively collectable biofluid and a good source for metabolomics analysis, it is not yet widely used for this purpose. This small-scale pilot study aimed to examine whether the metabolic profile of urine from AD patients reflects the metabolic dysfunction reported to underlie AD pathology, and to identify metabolites that could distinguish AD patients from cognitively healthy controls. Spot urine of 18 AD patients (AD group) and 18 age- and sex-matched, cognitively normal controls (control group) were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight MS and liquid chromatography-Fourier transform MS were used to cover a larger range of molecules with ionic as well as lipid characteristics. A total of 304 ionic molecules and 81 lipid compounds of 12 lipid classes were identified. Of these, 26 molecules showed significantly different relative concentrations between the AD and control groups (Wilcoxon's rank-sum test). Moreover, orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis revealed significant discrimination between the two groups. Pathway searches using the KEGG database, and pathway enrichment and topology analysis using Metaboanalyst software, suggested alterations in molecules relevant to pathways of glycerolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism, thermogenesis, and caffeine metabolism in AD patients. Further studies of urinary metabolites will contribute to the early detection of AD and understanding of its pathogenesis.

    OBJECTIVE: In this 5-year cohort study, we aimed to determine whether the intake of natto, a fermented soya bean food product, has an indirect effect on tooth loss incidence through BMD changes among postmenopausal women. BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates (1) that natto has a beneficial effect on bone health and (2) that a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with tooth loss. METHODS: The study recruited 435 postmenopausal women (average age = 64.2 years). Natto intake (exposure) was assessed at baseline using a food frequency questionnaire. Lumbar spine BMD and number of teeth were measured at baseline and 5-year follow-up. BMD change (mediator) and the number of teeth lost (outcome) over time were calculated. The mediation model consisted of these 3 variables. Mediation analysis was performed to test the indirect effect of the natto intake measured through BMD change on tooth loss. RESULTS: During the study, the mean number of teeth lost was 1.2 (standard deviation = 1.8), and the mean BMD decline was 2.5% (standard deviation = 7.1). After adjusting for potential confounders, increasing habitual natto intake was significantly indirectly associated with a lower incidence of tooth loss mediated by BMD change (incidence rate ratio of tooth loss among women with "≥1 pack/day" natto intake was 0.90 [95% confidence interval = 0.82-0.99] compared to those with natto consumption of "rarely"). CONCLUSIONS: Dietary natto intake is significantly indirectly associated with a lower incidence of tooth loss among postmenopausal women, and systemic bone density could be a mediator of this association.

    &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Introduction:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that can easily be measured in routine health checkups are desirable. Urine is a source of biomarkers that can be collected easily and noninvasively. We previously reported on the comprehensive profile of the urinary proteome of AD patients and identified proteins estimated to be significantly increased or decreased in AD patients by a label-free quantification method. The present study aimed to validate urinary levels of proteins that significantly differed between AD and control samples from our proteomics study (i.e., apolipoprotein C3 [ApoC3], insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 [Igfbp3], and apolipoprotein D [ApoD]). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were performed using urine samples from the same patient and control groups analyzed in the previous proteomics study (18 AD and 18 controls, set 1) and urine samples from an independent group of AD patients and controls (13 AD, 5 mild cognitive impairment [MCI], and 32 controls) from the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology Biobank (set 2). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; In set 1, the crude urinary levels of ApoD, Igfbp3, and creatinine-adjusted ApoD were significantly higher in the AD group relative to the control group (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.003, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.002, and &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.019, respectively), consistent with our previous proteomics results. In set 2, however, the crude urinary levels of Igfbp3 were significantly lower in the AD+MCI group than in the control group (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.028), and the levels of ApoD and ApoC3 did not differ significantly compared to the control group. Combined analysis of all samples revealed creatinine-adjusted ApoC3 levels to be significantly higher in the AD+MCI group (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.015) and the AD-only group (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.011) relative to the control group. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ApoC3 may be a potential biomarker for AD, as validated by ELISA. Further analysis of ApoC3 as a urinary biomarker for AD is warranted.

    Little is known about predictors of decline in vitamin D status (vitamin D decline) over time. We aimed to determine demographic and lifestyle variables associated with vitamin D decline by sufficiently controlling for seasonal effects of vitamin D uptake in a middle-aged to elderly population. Using a longitudinal study design within the larger framework of the Murakami Cohort Study, we examined 1044 individuals aged between 40 and 74 years, who provided blood samples at baseline and at 5-year follow-up, the latter of which were taken on a date near the baseline examination (±14 d). Blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations were determined with the Liaison® 25OH Vitamin D Total Assay. A self-administered questionnaire collected demographic, body size and lifestyle information. Vitamin D decline was defined as the lowest tertile of 5-year changes in blood 25(OH)D (Δ25(OH)D) concentration (<6·7 nmol/l). Proportions of those with vitamin D decline were 182/438 (41·6 %) in men and 166/606 (27·4 %) in women (P < 0·0001). In men, risk of vitamin D decline was significantly lower in those with an outdoor occupation (P = 0·0099) and those with the highest quartile of metabolic equivalent score (OR 0·34; 95 % CI 0·14, 0·83), and higher in those with 'university or higher' levels of education (OR 2·92; 95 % CI 1·04, 8·19). In women, risk of vitamin D decline tended to be lower with higher levels of vitamin D intake (Pfor trend = 0·0651) and green tea consumption (Pfor trend = 0·0025). Predictors of vitamin D decline differ by sex, suggesting that a sex-dependent intervention may help to maintain long-term vitamin D levels.

    BACKGROUND: Specific components of physical activity, such as vigorous exercise and heavy occupational work, are known to increase the risk of chronic low back pain (CLBP) and chronic knee pain (CKP), but impacts of other components are less known. This study aimed to assess the relationship between total physical activity and risk of CLBP and CKP from a public health perspective. METHODS: Participants were 7,565 individuals, aged 40-74 years, who did not have CLBP or CKP, and who participated in the 5-year follow-up survey. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on demographics, body size and lifestyle (including physical activity) in the baseline survey in 2011-2013, and on CLBP and CKP using Short Form 36 (SF-36) in the follow-up survey. Sitting, standing, walking and strenuous work for occupational activity were assessed for total physical activity, and walking slowly, walking quickly, light to moderate exercise and strenuous exercise were assessed for leisure-time physical activity using metabolic equivalent hours/day (METs score). RESULTS: Mean age of participants was 60.1 years (SD, 8.8). Participants with higher METs scores had a significantly higher risk of CKP (p for trend = 0.0089, OR of 4th quartile = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.04-1.59 vs. 1st quartile), but not CLBP. An intermediate leisure-time METs score was associated with a lower risk of CLBP (OR = 0.75, 95%CI: 0.61-0.92 vs. 0 METs-group). CONCLUSIONS: A high level of total physical activity may increase the risk of CKP, whereas an intermediate level of leisure-time physical activity may decrease the risk of CLBP, in middle-aged and elderly individuals. SIGNIFICANCE: Evidence on the longitudinal association between total physical activity and CLBP and CKP in middle-aged and elderly people is lacking. We conducted a cohort study to assess this association, and found that high levels of total physical activity increased risk of CKP, and intermediate levels of leisure-time physical activity decreased risk of CLBP. This suggests that the effect of physical activity on chronic pain differed by pain site.

    BACKGROUND: A large earthquake can cause extreme stress and may adversely affect cognitive function in humans. We aimed to examine a possible association between psychological distress and incident dementia after the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake in Japan. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study followed participants for 10-12 years. Subjects were 6,012 residents in 2005, 5,424 in 2006, and 5,687 in 2007 (age ≥40 years) living in Ojiya city who participated in the annual health check examinations after the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake. Psychological distress was assessed using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and individuals with a K10 score ≥10 were considered to have psychological distress. Incident dementia cases were identified from a long-term care insurance database of the local government during the follow-up period. We evaluated hazard ratios (HRs) of psychological distress for incident dementia in each year, unadjusted and adjusted for covariates, including sex, age, occupation, BMI, and property damage of residential area. RESULTS: The average age of the subjects was 64.6 years in 2005, 64.6 in 2006, and 65.2 in 2007. Adjusted HRs were significantly higher (HR = 1.20-1.66) in the psychological distress group than in the reference group in each year. In particular, adjusted HR was high (HR = 2.89) in those with psychological distress in all three years (2005-2007). CONCLUSION: Psychological distress, especially persistent distress, is a risk factor for incident dementia in victims of large disasters.

    OBJECTIVES: Modifiable risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (OA) have not been studied in detail. This study aimed to determine lifestyle-related modifiable factors of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in an East Asian population. STUDY DESIGN: This 5-year cohort study involved 11,091 individuals (age range 40-72 years) living in the Murakami region of Niigata, Japan, who did not have a history of knee OA. At baseline, information on sociodemographic characteristics, body size, lifestyle, and living condition was obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incident symptomatic knee OA observed at hospitals and orthopaedic clinics in the five years to 2016. Clinical grades of knee OA were based on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale. P for trend was assessed to examine linear associations between predictors and the outcome in multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of participants was 58.1 (SD 9.3) years. The number of cases of grade 2 or more incident knee OA was 429. In men, older age (P for trend < 0.0001), higher BMI (P for trend < 0.0001), higher METs score (P for trend = 0.0150), less smoking (P for trend = 0.0249), and lower green tea consumption (P for trend = 0.0437) were associated with incident knee OA. In women, older age (P for trend < 0.0001), higher BMI (P for trend < 0.0001), and alcohol consumption (P = 0.0153) were associated with incident knee OA. CONCLUSIONS: Several lifestyle-related factors were found to be associated with incident knee OA and exhibited sex-dependent differences. In particular, higher consumption of green tea was associated with a lower incidence of knee OA in men.

    Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the reproducibility of a self-administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) originally developed for the Japan Public Health Center-Based Prospective Study (JPHC study) and modified for use in the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT) study. Methods and Study Design: Participants included 98 men and 142 women aged 40-74 years from the five areas included in the JPHC-NEXT protocol. In November 2012, participants were recruited and asked to complete the first nutrition survey. The second nutrition survey was completed after 1 year. Results: We estimated daily energy as well as 53 nutrient and 29 food group intakes using the FFQ. To assess reproducibility, we calculated Spearman correlation coefficients between both FFQs, which showed mostly intermediate-to-high values. Median (range) correlation coefficients and quartile distribution in the same and adjacent categories for energy-adjusted nutrient intakes were 0.55 (0.42-0.84) and 84.7% (76.5%-98.0%) in men and 0.54 (0.35-0.80) and 84.5% (76.1%-94.4%) in women. The respective values for energy-adjusted food group intakes in men and women were also mostly intermediate to high: 0.54 (0.39-0.79) and 83.7% (75.5%-90.8%) in men and 0.57 (0.40-0.83) and 84.5% (77.5%-93.7%) in women. Conclusions: The FFQ developed for the JPHC-NEXT study has reasonable reproducibility. Because this FFQ has also been validated in a previous study, it can be considered a useful dietary assessment tool to examine associations between dietary consumption and lifestyle-related diseases.

    Background: Age-related musculoskeletal diseases are becoming increasingly burdensome in terms of both individual quality of life and medical cost. We intended to establish a large population-based cohort study to determine environmental, lifestyle, and genetic risk factors of musculoskeletal and other age-related diseases, and to clarify the association between vitamin D status and such diseases. Methods: We targeted 34,802 residents aged 40-74 years living in areas of northern Niigata Prefecture, including Sekikawa Village, Awashimaura Village, and Murakami City (Murakami region). The baseline questionnaire survey, conducted between 2011 and 2013, queried respondents on their lifestyle and environmental factors (predictors), and self-reported outcomes. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration, an indicator of vitamin D status, was determined with the Liaison® 25OH Vitamin D Total Assay. The primary outcome of this study was osteoporotic fracture
    other outcomes included age-related diseases including knee osteoarthritis, perception of chronic pain, dementia, and long-term care insurance use. Mean ages of men and women were 59.2 (SD = 9.3, N = 6907) and 59.0 (SD = 9.3, N = 7457) years, respectively. From the blood samples provided by 3710 men and 4787 women, mean 25(OH)D concentrations were 56.5 (SD = 18.4) nmol/L (22.6 ng/mL) and 45.4 (SD = 16.5) nmol/L (18.2 ng/mL), respectively. Discussion: Follow-up surveys are planned every 5 years for 15 years, and incident cases of our targeted diseases will be followed at hospitals and clinics in and nearby the cohort area. We anticipate that we will be able to clarify the association between vitamin D status and multiple disease outcomes in a Japanese population.

    Background/objectives: Objective methods such as the monitoring of salt concentrations in home-prepared dishes may be effective in reducing salt intake. We investigated the effect of monitoring the salt concentration of home-prepared dishes (Monitoring) on salt reduction and change in taste threshold, and the effect of the simultaneous use of low-sodium seasonings (Seasoning) to compare the effect of Monitoring with the conventional method. Subjects/methods: We conducted a double-blind randomized controlled study using a 2 × 2 factorial design with two interventions. A total of 50 participants (40–75 years-old) were recruited among residents of Niigata Prefecture, a high sodium-consuming population in Japan, then randomly allocated to four groups. After excluding participants with incomplete urine collection, change in salt intake was evaluated using 24-hour urinary excretion as a surrogate of intake for 43 participants. Change in taste threshold was evaluated in 48 participants after excluding those with incomplete threshold measurement. Results: The Monitoring intervention group showed a significant decrease in sodium intake (−777 mg/24 h), whereas the decrease in the Seasoning intervention group was not significant (−413 mg/24 h). Sodium intake did not statistically differ between the intervention and control groups (−1011 mg/24 h and −283 mg/24 h for Monitoring and Seasoning, respectively). The changes in taste threshold measurement were very small and did not markedly differ between groups. Conclusions: Monitoring the salt concentration of dishes had a potentially stronger salt-reducing effect than the use of low-sodium seasonings, a conventional method. Confirmation requires additional study with a larger sample size.

    Aim: Evidence for the association between dialysis treatment and cognitive decline is limited. The present study aimed to determine whether dialysis treatment is associated with cognitive decline in adult outpatients of a general hospital in Japan. Methods: This was a cross-sectional substudy of the Project in Sado for Total Health (PROST). Total Health PROST targeted adult outpatients of a general hospital in Sado City, Niigata, Japan. Among 753 patients (mean age 68.1 ± 11.6 years) analyzed, 66 received dialysis. Cognitive state was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination, and those with a Mini-Mental State Examination score &lt
    24 were considered “cognitively declined.” The prevalence of cognitive decline was compared by odds ratios calculated with multiple logistic regression analysis. Variables included in the analyses were dialysis, age, sex and self-reported histories of hypertension, diabetes, stroke and ischemic heart disease. Results: Of the 66 dialysis patients, 24 (36.4%) showed cognitive decline, whereas 172 (25.0%) of 687 non-dialysis patients showed cognitive decline. The age and sex-adjusted odds ratio for cognitive decline in dialysis patients was 2.57 (95% confidence interval 1.43–4.61), relative to non-dialysis patients. The odds ratio remained significant (odds ratio 2.69, 95% confidence interval 1.49–4.88) even after adjusting for all covariates. Conclusion: The prevalence of cognitive decline was high in dialysis patients relative to non-dialysis patients among outpatients of a general hospital in Japan. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017

    Background: Online dietary assessment tools offer advantages over printed questionnaires, such as the automatic and direct data storage of answers, and have the potential to become valuable research methods. We developed an online survey system (web-FFQ) for the existing printed FFQ used in the JPHC-NEXT protocol, the platform of a large-scale genetic cohort study. Here, we examined the validity of ranking individuals according to dietary intake using this web-FFQ and its usability compared with the printed questionnaire (print-FFQ) for combined usage.
    Methods: We included 237 men and women aged 40-74 years from five areas specified in the JPHCNEXT protocol. From 2012 to 2013, participants were asked to provide 12-day weighed food records (12d-WFR) as the reference intake and to respond to the print-and web-FFQs. Spearman's correlation coefficients (CCs) between estimates using the web-FFQ and 12d-WFR were calculated. Crossclassification of intakes was compared with those using the print-FFQ.
    Results: Most participants (83%) answered that completing the web-FFQ was comparable to or easier than completing the printed questionnaire. The median value of CCs across energy and 53 nutrients for men and women was 0.47 (range, 0.10-0.86) and 0.46 (range, 0.16-0.69), respectively. CCs for individual nutrient intakes were closely similar to those based on the print-FFQ, irrespective of response location. Cross-classification by quintile of intake based on two FFQs was reasonably accurate for many nutrients and food groups.
    Conclusion: This online survey system is a reasonably valid measure for ranking individuals by intake for many nutrients, like the printed FFQ. Mixing of two FFQs for exposure assessments in epidemiological studies appears acceptable. (C) 2017 Publishing services by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of The Japan Epidemiological Association.

    This study aimed to examine rural-urban differences in the prevalence of cognitive impairment in Japan.
    We targeted 592 residents aged 65 years and older who did not use long-term care insurance services in one rural and two urban areas in Ojiya City, Japan. Of these, 537 (90.7 %) participated in the study. The revised Hasegawa's dementia scale (HDS-R) was used to assess cognitive function, and cognitive impairment was defined as a HDS-R score aecurrency sign20. Lifestyle information was obtained through interviews. The prevalence of cognitive impairment was compared according to the levels of predictor variables by odds ratios (ORs) calculated by a logistic regression analysis.
    Mean age of participants was 75.7 years (SD 7.0). The prevalence of cognitive impairment was 20/239 (8.4 %) in the rural area and 6/298 (2.0 %) in the urban areas, for a total of 26/537 (4.8 %) overall. Men tended to have a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment (P = 0.0628), and age was associated with cognitive impairment (P for trend &lt; 0.0001). The rural area had a significantly higher prevalence of cognitive impairment (age- and sex-adjusted OR = 4.04, 95 % CI: 1.54-10.62) than urban areas. This difference was significant after adjusting for other lifestyle factors.
    The prevalence of cognitive impairment was higher in the rural area relative to urban areas in Ojiya city. This regional difference suggests the existence of potentially modifiable factors other than lifestyle in relation to cognitive impairment.

    Background: Longitudinal epidemiological studies require both the periodic update of intake information via repeated dietary survey and the minimization of subject burden in responding to questionnaires. We developed a 66-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (short-FFQ) for the Japan Public Health Center-based prospective Study for the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT) follow-up survey using major foods from the FFQ developed for the original JPHC Study. For the JPHC-NEXT baseline survey, we used a larger 172-item FFQ (long-FFQ), which was also derived from the JPHC-FFQ. We compared the validity of ranking individuals by levels of dietary consumption by these FFQs among residents of selected JPHC-NEXT study areas.
    Methods: From 2012 to 2013, 240 men and women aged 40-74 years from five areas in the JPHC-NEXT protocol were asked to respond to the long-FFQ and provide 12-day weighed food records (WFR) as reference; 228 also completed the short-FFQ. Spearman's correlation coefficients (CCs) between estimates from the FFQs and WFR were calculated and corrected for intra-individual variation of the WFR.
    Results: Median CC values for energy and 53 nutrients for the short-FFQ for men and women were 0.46 and 0.44, respectively. Respective values for the long-FFQ were 0.50 and 0.43. Compared with the long-FFQ, cross-classification into exact plus adjacent quintiles with the short-FFQ ranged from 68% to 91% in men and 58% to 85% in women.
    Conclusions: Similar to the long-FFQ, the short-FFQ provided reasonably valid measures for ranking middle-aged and elderly Japanese for many nutrients and food groups. The short-FFQ can be used in follow-up surveys in prospective cohort studies aimed at updating diet rank information.

    Diet and food intake play an important role in the development of osteoporosis. However, apart from calcium and vitamin D, how nutrients affect bone status is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to determine cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between dietary intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in Japanese postmenopausal women. This 5-year cohort study included 600 community dwelling women aged 55-74 years at baseline in 2005. Information on demographics, nutrition, and lifestyle was obtained through interviews, and nutritional and dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. BMD measurements were performed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. In 2010, 498 women underwent follow-up BMD examinations. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine associations of predictor variables with BMD, adjusting for confounders. In cross-sectional analyses, coffee or black tea consumption was positively associated with lumbar spine (P = 0.004) and total hip (P = 0.003) BMD, and alcohol intake was positively associated with femoral neck (P = 0.005) and total hip (P = 0.001) BMD. In longitudinal analyses, vitamin K (P = 0.028) and natto (fermented soybeans) (P = 0.023) were positively associated with lumbar spine BMD, and meat or meat product consumption was inversely associated with total hip (P = 0.047) BMD. In conclusion, dietary factors other than calcium and vitamin D intake are predictors of bone mass and bone loss in Japanese postmenopausal women. In particular, natto intake is recommended for preventing postmenopausal bone loss on the basis of current evidence.

    Background/Aims: We aimed to determine whether the concentration of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with cognitive function in an adult Japanese population. Methods: Participants of this cross-sectional study were from a subgroup of the Project in Sado for Total Health (PROST
    n = 454
    mean age, 70.5 years). The cognitive state was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and those with an MMSE score &lt
    24 were considered 'cognitively declined'. Concentrations of serum high-sensitivity CRP were measured. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for cognitive decline, adjusting for the covariates of age, sex, BMI, disease history, and APOE allele. Results: Of the 454 participants, 94 (20.7%) were cognitively declined. Relative to the lowest (first) quartile of CRP concentration, adjusted ORs were 1.29 (95% CI 0.61-2.75) for the second, 1.78 (95% CI 0.82-3.86) for the third, and 3.05 (95% CI 1.45-6.42) for the highest (fourth) quartiles (p for trend = 0.018). When data were stratified by sex, the association between CRP concentration and cognitive decline was observed only in women. Conclusion: Our findings suggest an association between higher CRP concentration and lower cognitive function. Chronic inflammation may affect cognitive function in adults, in particular women.

    Background This study aimed to assess psychological distress (PD) in earthquake-stricken communities with regard to the extent of property damage for 3 years following the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake in Japan.
    Methods Subjects were participants of health check examinations in a community near the epicentre, and included 7097 residents (a parts per thousand yen18 years) in 2005, 6586 in 2006 and 6698 in 2007. Interviews assessed PD symptoms and lifestyles. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used, with scores a parts per thousand yen20 considered as PD. The 137 subdistricts were divided into quartiles according to the proportion of half-completely destroyed houses at cut-offs of 18.9, 30.5 and 66.7%.
    Results The PD prevalence was 17.0% in 2005, 13.2% in 2006 and 11.8% in 2007. In 2005, the more and most heavily damaged groups had significantly higher PD prevalence (OR = 1.5 and 1.4, respectively) than that of the least damaged group with a dose-dependent relationship (P = 0.0005). This association was weaker in 2006 (P = 0.0413) and in 2007 (P = 0.1816).
    Conclusions Psychological distress prevalence was high in highly damaged areas, and the prevalence difference between areas with high versus low damage decreases with time. Extensive mental health care in communities with substantial damage should be expected to last 2 years after an earthquake.

    Background: Little is known about correlates of vitamin D status in Asian populations. In this study, we established the prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency in the Murakami region (latitude N38 degrees 13') in Niigata, Japan, and examined demographic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that might be associated with vitamin D sufficiency, with the aim of clarifying the relative contributions of previously described determinants of vitamin D status as well as identifying new determinants in this Japanese population.
    Methods: This study involved a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data obtained from a cohort study conducted in 2011-2013. Participants were 9084 individuals aged between 40 and 74 years who provided blood samples for the determination of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations. Lifestyle information was obtained from 8498 participants, with some missing values regarding different lifestyle factors. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to obtain odds ratios for vitamin D sufficiency, which was defined as a plasma 25(OH)D concentration &gt;= 75 nmol/L.
    Results: The prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency (i.e., plasma 25(OH)D concentration &gt;= 75 nmol/L) was 9.1%, and significant associations were observed with male gender (P &lt;0.0001; OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.84-3.05), older age (P for trend &lt;0.0001), lower BMI (P for trend &lt;0.0001), higher METs score (P for trend = 0.0138), higher vitamin D intake (P for trend = 0.0467), summer season (P for trend &lt;0.0001), longer duration outdoors (P for trend = 0.0026), no sunscreen use (P = 0.0135; OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.07-1.82), higher salmon consumption (P for trend &lt;0.0001), higher alcohol consumption (P for trend &lt;0.0001), and lower coffee consumption (P for trend = 0.0025). Unlike other populations previously reported, vitamin D sufficiency was associated with older age.
    Conclusions: The prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency (i.e., 25[OH]D &gt;= 75 nmol/L) was low (9.1%) in this Japanese population. A number of demographic, environmental, and lifestyle factors are associated with vitamin D sufficiency, and thus lifestyle modification may present an opportunity to achieve vitamin D sufficiency.

    Objectives: Prolonged occupational work such as farm work has been reported to adversely affect mobility in elderly women. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible relationships between prolonged occupational work and 6-year changes in postural sway in elderly women. Methods: Subjects were 392 women aged &gt;= 69 years who participated in a 6-year follow-up examination of the Muramatsu Cohort Study. Handgrip strength and postural sway, measured as gravity-center velocity (cm/s), were evaluated at baseline and 6-year follow-up. Interviews were conducted to determine the time spent on moderate occupational activity (3-5 metabolic equivalents) such as farm work. Activity levels were defined as: 1, no-activity; 2, "short" (&gt;0, &lt;= 17.75 h/wk); and 3, "long" (&gt;= 17.75 h/wk). Results: At baseline, mean values for age, handgrip strength, and postural sway were 73.3 years (SD 3.7), 20.3 kg (SD 4.1), and 2.0 cm/s (SD 0.8), respectively, and 32.5% of participants engaged in occupational activity. The change in postural sway was significantly greater in the long-activity group (median, 35.0 h/wk) than the no-activity group (0.56 vs. 0.27 cm/s, P=0.021). Conclusions: Prolonged occupational work may be detrimental to the control of body balance. Accordingly, elderly individuals are not recommended to engage in prolonged occupational activity.

    This study assessed the effects of physical activity on a 10-year incidence of self-reported vertebral fractures in adult women of a large Japanese cohort. Medium levels of strenuous activity and long-duration sedentary activity were associated with a lower incidence of vertebral fractures; association patterns appear to be different from hip fractures.
    Physical activity helps prevent hip fracture, but little is known about the longitudinal association between physical activity and vertebral fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of physical activity on the 10-year incidence of symptomatic vertebral fractures using data from the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study.
    Baseline studies were conducted in 1993-1994, and the follow-up study was conducted 10 years later. We analyzed 23,757 women aged 40-69 years. At baseline, physical activity was assessed as a predictor by using a questionnaire. Subjects were asked to report vertebral fractures that occurred during the 10-year follow-up period. Relative risks (RRs) adjusted for confounders were estimated by multiple logistic regression analysis.
    The 10-year cumulative incidence of vertebral fractures was 0.67 %. Those who engaged in strenuous physical activity of &lt; 1 h/day had a significantly lower incidence of vertebral fractures than those who did not engage in such activity (RR = 0.52, 95 % CI 0.28-0.97), while those engaged in such activity a parts per thousand yen1 h/day did not (RR = 0.82, 95 % CI 0.58-1.14). Long-duration sedentary activity was associated with a low incidence of vertebral fractures (P for trend = 0.0002), but the frequencies of sports activities and metabolic equivalents were not (P for trend = 0.0729 and 0.4341, respectively).
    Strenuous activity and sedentary activity are associated with the incidence of vertebral fractures, although the association may not be linear. The pattern of association between physical activity and vertebral fractures appears to be different from that of hip fractures.

    Background: The 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake of Japan caused considerable damage. We assessed long-term changes in psychological distress among earthquake victims during the period 5 years after the earthquake.Methods: The participants were people aged 18 years or older living in Yamakoshi, a community in Niigata Prefecture near the epicenter. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted annually for 5 consecutive years after the earthquake. Response rates were 1316/1841 (71.5%) in 2005, 667/1381 (48.3%) in 2006, 753/1451 (51.9%) in 2007, 541/1243 (43.5%) in 2008, and 814/1158 (70.3%) in 2009. The questionnaire asked about demographic characteristics, including sex, age, employment status, social network, and psychological status. Psychological distress was assessed using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire and was defined as a total score of 4 or higher.Results: The overall prevalence of psychological distress decreased (P &lt; 0.0001) gradually from 2005 (51.0%) to 2008 (30.1%) but tended to increase from 2008 to 2009 (P = 0.1590). Subgroup analyses showed that prevalence did not decrease over the 5-year study period among participants with poor social contact (

    The purpose of this study is to assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality among nursing home residents in Japan.
    A one-year prospective cohort study was conducted with 8,510 elderly individuals across 140 nursing homes. Baseline measurements included age, sex, height, weight, BMI, activities of daily living (ADL) (Barthel Index), and degree of dementia. Information regarding dates of discharge and mortality were also obtained to calculate person-years. Cox's proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios.
    Mean age and BMI were 84.3 [standard deviation (SD) 8.1] years and 20.6 (SD 3.8) kg/m(2), respectively. Hazard ratios of mortality adjusted for sex, age, ADL, degree of dementia, and type of home were 2.4 [95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.9-3.1] for the 1st quintile of BMI (&lt; 17.3 kg/m(2)), 1.7 (95 % CI: 1.3-2.3) for the 2nd quintile (17.3-19.2 kg/m(2)), 1.5 (95 % CI: 1.2-2.0) for the 3rd quintile (19.3-21.1 kg/m(2)), and 1.2 (95 % CI: 0.9-1.6) for the 4th quintile (21.2-23.5 kg/m(2)) (P for trend &lt; 0.001), compared with the reference 5th quintile (23.6a parts per thousand currency sign kg/m(2)).
    There was a clear inverse dose-dependent relationship between BMI and mortality. Future studies should be conducted to determine the effects of nutritional intervention on mortality in institutionalized elderly adults.

    UNLABELLED: We conducted a cohort study exploring an association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (serum 25(OH)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and 5-year changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in 482 postmenopausal women. High serum 25(OH)D levels do not retard postmenopausal bone loss within the lumbar spine or femoral neck, and high PTH levels potentially increase hip bone loss. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore an association between serum 25(OH)D levels and 5-year changes in BMD in postmenopausal women. METHODS: This 5-year cohort study included 482 women between 55 and 74 years of age who lived in a community in Japan. Medical examinations were conducted in 2005 and 2010. Data were obtained on baseline serum 25(OH)D and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels. Outcomes of this study were 5-year changes in BMDs of the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Covariates included years since menopause, body mass index (BMI), lifestyle factors, and weight change. Changes in BMDs among quartiles of serum 25(OH)D were compared with analysis of covariance. RESULTS: The mean age of subjects was 63.1 years, and mean serum 25(OH)D levels were 56.0 nmol/L. Age and decrease in weight were significantly associated with decreases in BMDs of both the lumbar spine (P for trend < 0.001 and =0.002, respectively) and femoral neck (P for trend = 0.026 and <0.001, respectively); low BMI was associated with a decrease in lumbar spine BMD (P for trend < 0.001). No significant associations were found between serum 25(OH)D levels and changes in BMDs. High serum iPTH levels were associated with a greater decrease in femoral neck BMD (P for trend = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS: High serum 25(OH)D levels do not retard postmenopausal bone loss within the lumbar spine or femoral neck, and high PTH levels potentially increase hip bone loss.

    Background: We assessed the association between activities of daily living (ADL) and mortality among nursing home residents in Japan.
    Methods: This I-year prospective cohort study investigated 8902 elderly adults in 140 nursing homes. Baseline measurements included age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), ADL, and dementia level. ADL levels were obtained by caregivers, using the Barthel Index (BI), after which total BI scores were calculated (higher scores indicate less dependence). Information on dates of discharge and mortality was also obtained to calculate person-years. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs).
    Results: Mean age was 84.3 years, and mean total BI score was 38.5. The HRs of mortality adjusted for sex, age, BM I, and type of nursing home were 7.6 (95% CI: 3.3-17.8) for those with a BI score of 0 (totally dependent), 3.9 (1.7-9.0) for those with a score of 1 to 10, 3.5 (1.4-8.7) for those with a score of 11 to 40, 2.7 (1.4-5.1) for those with a score of 41 to 70, and 1.3 (0.7-2.4) for those with a score of 71 to 99 (P for trend &lt;0.001), as compared with those with a score of 100. Multivariate analysis revealed that BI, sex, age, and BMI were significantly associated with mortality rate.
    Conclusions: There was a clear inverse association between ADL level and mortality. In conjunction with other risk factors, ADL level might effectively predict short-term mortality in institutionalized elderly adults.

    Current standard-dose calcium supplements (eg, 1000 mg/d) may increase the risk for cardiovascular events. Effectiveness of lower-dose supplements in preventing bone loss should thus be considered. This study aimed to assess whether calcium supplements of 500 or 250 mg/d effectively prevent bone loss in perimenopausal and postmenopausal Japanese women. We recruited 450 Japanese women between 50 and 75 years of age. They were randomly assigned to receive 500 mg of calcium (as calcium carbonate), 250 mg of calcium, or placebo daily. Medical examinations conducted three times over a 2-year follow-up period assessed bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and femoral neck. One-factor repeated measures ANOVA was used for statistical tests. Subgroup analyses were also conducted. Average total daily calcium intake at baseline for the 418 subjects who underwent follow-up examinations was 493 mg/d. Intention-to-treat analysis showed less dramatic decreases in spinal BMD for the 500-mg/d calcium supplement group compared to the placebo group (1.2% difference over 2 years, p = 0.027). Per-protocol analysis (&gt;= 80% compliance) revealed that spinal BMD for the 500 mg/d and 250-mg/d calcium supplement groups decreased less than the placebo group (1.6%, p = 0.010 and 1.0%, p = 0.078, respectively), and that femoral neck BMD for the 500-mg/d calcium supplement group decreased less relative to the placebo group (1.0%, p = 0.077). A low-dose calcium supplement of 500 mg/d can effectively slow lumbar spine bone loss in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with habitually low calcium intake, but its effect on the femoral neck is less certain. Calcium supplementation dosage should thus be reassessed. (Clinical Trials Registry number: UMIN000001176). (C) 2012 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

    Objectives Serum albumin and activities of daily living (ADL) are associated with each other, but whether the association is causal is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a causal association exists between serum albumin and ADL levels. Methods The subjects were 116 frail elderly individuals (34 men and 82 women
    mean age 83.0 years). Demographic characteristics, serum albumin, ADL, and handgrip strength were measured at a baseline examination and at a follow-up examination 2 years later. Levels of ADL were assessed with the Barthel Index. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated for serum albumin, ADL, and handgrip strength for baseline values and for their 2-year changes (Δ). Results At baseline, the mean serum albumin concentration was 4.0 g/dL and the total score of the Barthel Index (baseline Barthel Index) was 71.1. The baseline serum albumin level correlated significantly with the baseline Barthel Index (r = 0.287) and baseline handgrip strength (r = 0.315), but not with Δ Barthel Index (r = 0.096) or Δ handgrip strength (r = - 0.058). The Δ serum albumin correlated significantly with Δ Barthel Index (r = 0.296), but not with Δ handgrip strength (r = 0.182), baseline Barthel Index (r = - 0.044), or baseline handgrip strength (r = 0.047). Conclusions This 2-year cohort study has demonstrated that a decrease in serum albumin levels is associated with a decrease in ADL levels. A third factor may play a role in adversely affecting both serum albumin and ADL levels in frail elderly people. © The Japanese Society for Hygiene 2011.

    Objective: The effect of physical activity on musculoskeletal health in older adults is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity and 5-year changes in physical performance tests and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women.
    Study design: The design was a 5-year cohort study.
    Main outcome measures: Subjects were 507 women (55-74 years old) living in a rural community in Japan. Physical activity assessed included housework, farm work, and moderate leisure-time physical activity within the previous week. Measurements at baseline included handgrip strength, walking time (timed "Up & Go" test) and BMD of the femoral neck and vertebrae. Five-year changes in these measures (outcome variables) were compared among groups with different levels of physical activity by analysis of covariance.
    Results: Women who did not do housework performed worse in changes in handgrip strength (difference = 2.22 kg, P = 0.0201) and worse in changes in the walking time (difference = 0.54 s, P = 0.0072) than those who did housework alone. Women who spent at least 9 h per week (median = 24) doing farm work performed better in changes in handgrip strength (difference = 0.28 kg, P= 0.0334), but worse in changes in the walking time (difference = 0.66 s, P&lt;0.0001) than those who did not do farm work. However, leisure-time activity was not associated with changes in any outcome variable, and none of the physical activities predicted BMD changes.
    Conclusions: Engaging in housework and farm work are determinants of physical function in postmenopausal women, which may help them maintain independence in daily living. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Japan has a rapidly growing elderly population requiring care. This study aimed to clarify risk factors for two-year mortality in such people. Subjects included 205 community-dwelling elderly people, who were approved for care in the 2003 Yamato Study, an epidemiologic study of individuals utilizing the long-term care service system. Demographic characteristics, Barthel index (measuring activities of daily living), grip strength, thigh muscle volume, psychological evaluation, and blood values including hemoglobin, serum albumin, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were investigated at baseline. The average age of subjects was 83.6 (S.D., 8.0) years. Of the 205 subjects, 42 died during the follow-up period. Bivariate analysis showed that older age (p = 0.0015), lower weight (p = 0.0087), lower body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.0001), lower Barthel index (p = 0.0017), lower hemoglobin (p = 0.0180), and lower serum albumin (p = 0.0001) were associated with mortality, but that sex was not (p = 0.1248). Stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BMI &lt; 17.1 kg/m(2) (adjusted OR = 4.0, p = 0.0007), age &gt;= 90 years (adjusted OR = 3.3, p = 0.0033), and lower serum albumin levels (adjusted OR = 0.86, p = 0.0007) were independently associated with mortality. We conclude that low BMI and low serum albumin are strong predictors of 2-year mortality in frail elderly individuals, and that nutritional risk should appropriately be evaluated for elderly people requiring home care.

    著者らは、村上コホート研究のベースライン調査と5年後フォローアップ調査において、自記式の調査票により、生活習慣、病歴などの情報を得た。この縦断データを利用し、中高年の喫煙、飲酒、運動の習慣の5年間の変化と、禁煙、節酒、運動の習慣の獲得に関わる要因について検討した。対象者は5年後フォローアップ調査に参加した8,487人で、ベースライン調査時の年齢は40から74歳であった。ベースライン調査票の利用項目は、性、年齢、婚姻歴、学歴、職業、現在の健康状態、病歴(がん、心筋梗塞、脳卒中、糖尿病)、現在の喫煙の有無、飲酒頻度、余暇での運動の頻度、肥満度(Body mass index)であった。5年後フォローアップ調査票の利用項目は、現在の喫煙の有無、飲酒頻度、余暇での運動の頻度であり、これらの項目をベースライン時と5年後で比較した。また、ベースライン時に喫煙者、毎日の飲酒者、または余暇での運動の習慣のない人(<1回/週)について、5年後にこれらの習慣がよい方向に変化した人、すなわち禁煙、毎日の飲酒中止、週に1回以上の運動開始した人のベースライン時の要因(予測要因)を解析した。ベースラインと5年後の比較では、喫煙と飲酒については全体的に禁煙・節酒の方向に変化する傾向が見られたものの、運動の習慣については明確な変化が見られなかった。好ましくない喫煙、飲酒、運動の習慣を持つ人の生活習慣改善に関わる要因を解析した結果、いずれの習慣も高齢であるほど改善する傾向が見られた。飲酒習慣の変化には体調不良の関与が、運動の習慣の獲得には教育の重要性が示唆されたが、禁煙に関しては加齢以外の関連要因を見いだせなかった。今後の慢性疾患の予防対策にこれらの情報が活用されることを期待する。(著者抄録)

    我が国における認知症患者の増加は著しく、予防に有効な研究成果への関心が高まっている。本研究では、地域住民対象の大規模コホート研究(N=14,364)の枠組みにおいて、認知機能低下および認知症の縦断研究を計画し、認知症に関連する変容可能な予防・リスク要因を解明することを目的とする。具体的には、1)コホートサブグループにおける認知機能低下の5年後縦断調査と、2) 診療情報および要介護情報による認知症の長期追跡調査を遂行する。このコホート内の2種類の調査により、日本人の認知症および認知機能低下の変容可能な要因の解明を目指している。
    前年度は新型コロナウイルス感染症の拡大の影響により、前述1)の研究計画が変更となり1年半遅れで今年度実施した。引き続き次年度に調査を計画しており関係機関と調整を進めている。2)の調査は感染予防にかかる制限はあるものの、可能な範囲で症例を収集している。

    本研究は分子疫学コホート研究(村上コホート研究、対象地域:村上市、関川村、粟島浦村)の枠組みにおいて、体質を考慮した日本人の認知症の変容可能な要因を解明するコホート研究であり、認知症の一次予防におけるポピュレーションアプローチ及びハイリスクアプローチに資することを目的とする。
    調査は、医療機関での認知症診断(診療情報調査)及び要介護情報に基づく新規認知症(要介護認知症)をエンドポイントとして収集している。①認知症の環境リスク要因および遺伝要因を検討するために、ベースライン調査における、基本属性、生活習慣要因のデータや、バイオマーカーが既存情報として利用可能であり、現時点で収集された新規症例について中間解析を行った。②また、ベースライン保存血液検体のあるサブグループにおいて認知症の強力な感受性遺伝子であるアポリポプロテインE遺伝子の遺伝子多型を解析することにより、nested case-control studyの手法を用いて環境要因と遺伝要因との相互作用を検討する。現時点で収集された症例群と対照群の検体について遺伝子解析を進めた。
