The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG-IC), a self-administered questionnaire, was used to assess the higher life function. The frequency and number of the six types of social participation activities were investigated. Standardized regression coefficients (β) for the higher life functions of social participation were calculated using a multiple regression analysis, with TMIG-IC scores as the dependent variable, social participation as the explanatory variable, and adjustment variables.Results: A total of 447 patients were included in the analysis. Volunteer activities, sports/exercise clubs, and hobbies were significantly related to higher life functioning among men who participated in these activities several times a year, at least once a month, or at least once a week. For men, study circles (several times a year, β=0.184; p=0.003), activities to share skills and experiences (at least once a week, β=0.178; p=0.004), and work (at least once a month, β=0.144; p=0.022) were also significantly associated with higher life functioning. For women, only volunteer activities (at least once a week, β=0.164; p=0.017), sports/exercise clubs (at least once a week, β=0.149; p=0.032), and hobbies (at least once a week, β=0.147; p=0.036) were significantly related to higher life functions. Social participation was significantly associated with better life functioning. Social participation was significantly related to higher life functions.Conclusion: The types and frequency of social participation related to higher life functions were clarified in elderly patients with diabetes.","PeriodicalId":35593,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Geriatrics","volume":"62 1","pages":"50-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143754836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two weeks later, she experienced loss of appetite and fatigue. Seeking medical attention, she was diagnosed with significant hyponatremia with a serum sodium level of 110 mEq/L at a local clinic, leading to her referral and subsequent admission to our department. Although her consciousness remained clear, laboratory findings revealed a serum sodium level of 116 mEq/L, blood urea nitrogen of 7 mg/dL, blood glucose of 96 mg/dL, and plasma osmolarity of 239.8 mOsm/kg·H2O, consistent with hypotonic hyponatremia induced by indapamide. Indapamide was discontinued and normal saline was administered. By the 6th day of hospitalization, her serum sodium level had improved to 130 mEq/L, and her symptoms had resolved.Thiazide-like diuretics can induce hyponatremia as a side effect with diverse symptoms and variable onset. However, in this case, hyponatremia was promptly detected shortly after the initiation of indapamide therapy, and no gastrointestinal symptoms other than anorexia were observed. When initiating thiazide-like diuretics, it is essential to be vigilant for hyponatremia and to provide appropriate medication guidance to patients in addition to monitoring their serum sodium levels.","PeriodicalId":35593,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Geriatrics","volume":"62 1","pages":"88-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143754868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk of undernutrition was measured using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form, and a total score of ≤11 was defined as being at risk. The Social Participation Barriers in Patients with Diabetes (SPBD) questionnaire, which consists of 10 items, was used to measure social participation barriers. A logistic regression analysis was performed using the respective SPBD score quartiles (Q1-Q3) for men and women, with the risk of undernutrition as the dependent variable and SPBD score (based on the Q1 group) as the explanatory variable.Results: In total, 310 patients (187 men and 123 women) were included in the analysis. In men, the adjusted odds ratios for the risk of undernutrition in Q2 and Q3 based on Q1 were 1.56 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-3.83; p=0.328) and 4.52 (95% CI, 1.78-11.46; p=0.001), respectively. In women, the adjusted odds ratios for the risk of undernutrition of Q2 and Q3 based on Q1 were 2.87 (95% CI, 0.85-9.61; p=0.087) and 3.73 (95% CI, 0.88-15.82; p=0.073), respectively.Conclusion: The results of this study in older people with diabetes showed that barriers to social participation were associated with a risk of undernutrition in men. In particular, hyperglycemia, diabetes treatment, and value-based barriers to social participation were associated with the risk of undernutrition. It is important to raise awareness of the barriers to social participation from the viewpoint of nutrition in older people with diabetes.","PeriodicalId":35593,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Geriatrics","volume":"62 1","pages":"78-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143754872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
