Background: Aging associates with decreased functional connectivity between brain regions linked to musical rhythm perception. Producing rhythmic music may result in strengthened functional connectivity of these regions, but more evidence is needed to support intervention design. Currently, few studies directly contrast younger and older adults' rhythmic music performance to understand brain-behavior relationships.

National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Background: To enhance the well-being of individuals with dementia, it is crucial to minimize the risk of deterioration in long-term care needs. This study aimed to identify factors and construct predictive models for deterioration in long-term care (LTC) levels in Japanese older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia.
Method: This retrospective cohort study utilized the data from a memory clinic-based cohort study (NCGG-STORIES) and individual LTC insurance data provided by three municipalities.

Background: Semantic memory refers to knowledge of attributes associated with common objects. Quantifying the strength of semantic association between successive 'animal' fluency responses can be challenging. The current research assessed between-group differences for 'animal' fluency total output and selected verbal serial list learning, episodic memory measures.

Background: Walking is a key facilitator of healthy ageing and may reduce risk of cognitive decline in older adults. To develop suitable, accessible interventions, we must objectively consider the socio-ecological factors which influence participation in walking activities. For example, walking may be influenced by the volume and type of activities one's partner participates in (i.
