Relationships between locomotive and non-locomotive MVPA and '' in older Japanese adults.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) of moderate to vigorous intensity (MVPA) and in older Japanese adults. We evaluated the amount of PA using an activity meter equipped with a three-axis accelerometer. The measured activities were classified into locomotive PA and non-locomotive PA to clarify not only the relationship between MVPA and , but the types of activities that lead to increased as well.

Relationships between physical, cognitive, and social frailty and locomotive and non-locomotive physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between physical, cognitive, and social frailty and locomotive and non-locomotive physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity in community-dwelling older adults and to explore effective intervention methods for preventing frailty. [Participants and Methods] Participants were 82 community-dwelling Japanese older males and females. Measurement items included basic information (age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, and the number of underlying diseases), physical activity, and assessment of physical, cognitive, and social frailty.

Overlap of Physical, Cognitive, and Social Frailty Affects Ikigai in Community-Dwelling Japanese Older Adults.

This study aimed to investigate whether the overlap of physical, cognitive, and social frailty affects Ikigai in community-dwelling Japanese older adults. Participants were 116 community-dwelling older adult Japanese men and women. Associations of physical, cognitive, and social frailty with falls, daily living assessment, and Ikigai were analyzed by group comparisons and multivariate analyses.
