Sex, age, body mass index (BMI), walking speed as a physical function, and the mini-mental status examination (MMSE) score as a cognitive function were measured and analyzed in addition to the total working hours per week (WH) in cultivated land.Results: The participants were 31 males and 60 females (mean age 78.5±6.6 years). The average values of the evaluated variables were as follows: WH, 18.0±13.2; BMI, 23.4±3.0 kg/m2; walking speed, 0.95±0.28 m/s; and MMSE score, 26.6±3.1 points. In addition, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Chi-square test showed no significant differences between sexes for each item. A logistic regression analysis showed that WH was significantly associated with MMSE (1, ≥28 points; 0, <28 points), and the odds ratio was 1.054 (p=0.010) in the model adjusted for age and BMI, while it was not significantly associated with walking speed (1, ≥1 m/s; 0, <1 m/s).Conclusions: Working on small-scale cultivated land was significantly associated with the cognitive function but not the physical function. Routine work on small-scale cultivated land as a daily-life task would contribute to the suppression of cognitive decline in older people living in hilly and mountainous areas.","PeriodicalId":35593,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Geriatrics","volume":"61 1","pages":"54-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140865963","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}

After admission, Cre was measured in a timely manner for the first seven hospital days. The minimum Cre level in these measurements was then determined. ACV encephalopathy was defined when two criteria were met: 1) neurological symptoms appeared after valacyclovir (VACV) administration, and 2) neurological symptoms improved after VACV discontinuation. AKI was defined when the Cre level on admission was >1.5 times higher than the minimum Cre level. The subjects were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups based on these findings.Results: Eighteen patients had ACV encephalopathy (5 males, mean age 81.3±5.5 years old). All patients were prescribed VACV 3,000 mg/day. The minimum Cre was 1.93±1.76 mg/dL. AKI occurred in 10 (56.6%) patients. VACV was discontinued in all patients, and emergency hemodialysis treatment was administered in 10 (55.6%) patients. All patients recovered. Compared to the AKI group, the non-AKI group had a lower history of taking a Ca-blocker (33.3% vs 80.0%, p=0.092), a lower rate of emergency dialysis (16.9% vs 70.0%, p=0.059) and a longer time to clinical improvement (3.67±1.86 vs 2.20±0.63 days, p=0.073).Conclusion: ACV encephalopathy without AKI is characterized by a low rate of emergency dialysis, which may be linked to a prolonged duration of symptoms.","PeriodicalId":35593,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Geriatrics","volume":"61 1","pages":"61-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140867618","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}

Apathy was assessed using the Apathy Scale (0-42 points; the higher the score, the lower the motivation), physical activity by Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), and Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS). The 2018 PASE data were grouped into tertiles. A multiple regression analysis was performed with the 2019 Apathy Scale as the dependent variable and the 2018 PASE as the independent variable, and the sex, age, years of education, economic situation, body mass index, chronic illness, smoking history, alcohol drinking habits, physical function, cognitive function, GDS, and the 2018 Apathy Scale as adjustment variables. The PASE subcategories (leisure-time, household, and work-related activities) were examined using a similar method.Results: The mean Apathy Scale in 2019 was 14.0±6.2 for the low physical activity group, 12.8±6.0 for the medium physical activity group, and 10.1±5.9 for the high physical activity group. The high physical activity group showed a significant negative association with the Apathy Scale (B=-1.56, 95% confidence interval=-2.91 to -0.21, p=0.023). No association was found for any activity of the PASE sub-items.Conclusions: A high level of physical activity may protect against apathy among community-dwelling older adults.","PeriodicalId":35593,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Geriatrics","volume":"61 2","pages":"169-178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141262734","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}
