Background: This study examined the relationship between the disciplinary diversity of research teams and research output (RO) in allergy and immunology programs funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, Medical Research Council (MRC) in the United Kingdom, and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
Methods: Using a dataset containing 1243, 3645, and 1468 articles funded by the NIH, MRC, and JSPS, respectively, we analyzed the correlation between disciplinary diversity and RO in allergy and immunology programs that received grants from 2017 to 2021. Diversity was measured using All Science Journal Classification codes counts, Shannon-Wiener index, and newly developed Omnidisciplinary index (o-index).
Article Synopsis
- The Saitama Prefecture Silver Human Resources Center Federation and Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology launched a frailty prevention class business model in 2018, aiming to compensate SHRC members for operating the classes.
- A survey of 58 SHRCs showed that 74.1% participated in the training for supporters, and 58.6% implemented the project.
- Of those implementing, 39.7% offered rewards for supporters, and 75% of those who started the project by 2021 continued for over two years, facing challenges in initiation and management.
Article Synopsis
- A new assessment tool was created to evaluate early low nutrition risk in older adults, addressing a gap in available resources.
- 1,192 elderly participants helped test this tool using a questionnaire, leading to the identification of 13 specific items across four factors: health beliefs, dietary status, physical activity, and food-related quality of life.
- The tool demonstrated strong reliability and significant correlations with key health indicators, indicating it can effectively identify nutrition risk in the general older population.

Neuroethics is the study of how neuroscience impacts humans and society. About 15 years have passed since neuroethics was introduced to Japan, yet the field of neuroethics still seeks developed methodologies and an established academic identity. In light of progress in neuroscience and neurotechnology, the challenges for Japanese neuroethics in the 2020 s can be categorized into five topics.
