Our study, conducted between April 2022 and January 2024, was aimed at clarifying components of the rest-activity rhythm (RAR) involved in improvement of social frailty state before or after a 3-month multi-component exercise intervention in the elderly. Participants were recruited from the general population in Akita prefecture, Japan. We administered a four-item social frailty screening questionnaire to classify the severity of social frailty in each participant before and after the 3-month intervention. The RAR parameters were measured on an Actiwatch Spectrum Plus device worn by the subjects for 7 continuous days. As the final sample, 65 participants classified into the improved/maintained group (n = 36) or the deteriorated group (n = 29) according to the change in the social frailty classification after the intervention were included in the analysis. The results of a binomial logistic regression analysis showed significantly higher values of interdaily stability (IS) and usual walking speed at the post-test after the intervention. Based on our findings, we propose that stability of the rest-activity rhythm related to synchronization with external stimuli (such as social effect and physical activity) might have clinical impact on improvement of social frailty state in elderly community-dwellers.

Background: Frailty leads to vulnerability to stress, impaired daily functioning, and an increased need for care. Frailty is considered reversible, and it is crucial to detect the risk of frailty early and investigate factors that may delay its progression. Objectives: To identify tests that can explain frailty risk and compare the situation of local residents with and without frailty support. Methods: Participants were recruited in two ways: through public advertisements in Akita City (open recruitment group) and through invites from frailty supporters in their immediate communities (community-based group). We examined the differences in frailty risk and oral, motor, and social functions between the two groups and identified factors associated with frailty risk in both groups. Results: The community-based group exhibited a lower risk of frailty than the open recruitment group despite having more older members on average. Additionally, the community-based group demonstrated better social functioning than the open-recruitment group. Furthermore, factors such as oral diadochokinesis (ODK), one-leg stand test (OLS), and grip strength (GS) showed significant association with frailty risk. Conclusion: The ODK, OLS, and GS were identified as factors explaining frailty risk, and Frailty Supporters may reduce the risk of frailty.

Background: In recent years, theatrical approach has been reported to improve the health promotion of the older adults. Our study aimed to clarify the effects of a theater program intervention on the cognitive, physical, and social functions of older adults living in the community. Methods: Of the 43 participants, they were assigned to the control group and theatre intervention group, each group received intervention for three months. We compared participants' pre-test and post-test physical, cognitive, and social functioning results of the program. Moreover, the amount of change in physical and cognitive items in the control and theater groups was compared. Results: A comparison of pre-test and post-test results showed significant improvements in the UWS and physical and social frailty for the control and theatre group. Furthermore, amount of the change in UWS in the theatre group was significantly higher than in the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, we have shown that a theatrical intervention can be as effective as the multicomponent exercise recommended, the theatrical approach was suggested to be effective in improving social frailty.

Background:Effects of a multicomponent exercise programme have an impact on the physical, cognitive, and psychological domains in elderly community-dwellers. However, some individuals aged 65 years or more have not shown positive effects after the intervention as reported in similar research. The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to clarify the effectiveness of a multicomponent programme based on reality orientation therapy (ROT) on the physical performance, cognitive ability, and psychological state in the elderly.
Method:Participants were recruited from the general public in 20 areas of Akita Prefecture, Japan, and they took part in each exercise programme for 90 min a day, once every 2 weeks, for 3 months, according to the group classification using cluster randomization into 20 cohorts in Akita. Physical, cognitive, and geriatric depression assessments were performed at baseline and after the 3-month intervention in both the ROT-based intervention group and the control group.
Result:The final samples for analysis consisted of 31 participants in the control group and 30 participants in the intervention group. The results of the statistical analysis comparing the two groups showed that the 5-repetition sit-to-stand test was performed significantly faster (P < 0.05) and that the results of the word list memory (WM) test and the Symbol Digit Substitution Task also had significantly improved (P < 0.05) after the intervention in both groups. The WM score did not show an interactive effect between the group and time factors, but it had a significant main effect on time in both groups (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:The results of our quasi-experimental study indicated that the multicomponent programme based on the ROT would be as effective as the original multicomponent programme combined with aerobic exercise and cognitive tasks, as highlighted in the WM. -

Changes in rest or active states were clinically observed in persons with depression. However, the association between symptoms of depression and 24 h rest-activity rhythm (RAR) components that can be measured using wearable devices was not clarified. This preliminary cross-sectional study aimed to clarify the 24 h RAR components associated with symptoms of depression in middle-aged and older persons. Participants were recruited from among inpatients and outpatients requiring medical treatment at Akita University Hospital for the group with depression and from among healthy volunteers living in Akita prefecture, Japan, for the healthy control group. To assess RAR parameters including inter-daily stability (IS), intra-daily variability (IV), relative amplitude (RA), and average physical activity level for the most active 10 h span (M10) or for the least active 5 h span (L5), all the participants were instructed to wear an Actiwatch Spectrum Plus device on their non-dominant wrist for seven days. Twenty-nine persons with depression and 30 controls were included in the analysis. The results of a binomial regression analysis showed that symptoms of depression were significantly associated with a high IS value (odds ratio [OR], 1.20; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.01–1.44; p = 0.04) and a low M10 value (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74–0.96; p = 0.01). Our findings suggest potential components of 24 h RAR are associated with depression.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological and psychological effects of walking in natural spring areas. The subjects were 25 male and 18 female (42.1±12.3 years) workers in Misato town. They were divided into a spring area group (13 men, 9 women, age 42.5±12.1 years) and a control (outdoor car park) group (12 men, 9 women, age 41.7±12.8 years). Some physiological and psychological indices were measured before and after walking for 20 minutes around each place. Physiological effect was measured using blood pressure, heart rate, salivary amylase activity (AMY score) and psychological effect was measured using the Profile of Mood States and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Form JYZ (STAI). As a result, we found that the negative mood Confusion (C) in POMS and the Trait-Anxiety scale in STAI decreased significantly after walking around the natural spring area. This study suggested that walking around the spring area is considered to produce a reduction in stress and limit the decline in thinking power, and gives people psychological healing.

Our study aimed to clarify associated factors of rest-activity rhythm (RAR) patterns against change of social frail state according to different social frail indexes. Participants were publicly recruited from senior's clubs hosted by Akita’s local government in three years from 2022 to 2024, with an approval of Akita University’s ethic committee (No. 2857). The Makizako’s social frail 5-items (going out less frequently compared with last year, visiting friends sometimes, feeling helpful to friends or family, living alone, and talking with someone every day) or the Yamada’s 4-items (general resources, social resources, social behavior, and fulfillment of basic social needs) were applied to measure social frail state. The final samples were 65 participants (mean age±SD, 76.0±5.9 years old), classified into the improved or maintained group (n = 29) and the deteriorated group (n = 36) in the Makizako’s index or the improved or maintained group (n = 36) and the deteriorated group (n = 29) in the Yamada’s one. As a result, the binomial logistic regression model estimated by the Makizako’s index indicated that the deterioration of social frail state associated with depression at the pre-test or decline of executive function and depression at the post-test. Additionally, the unstable RAR at the pre- or post-test associated with worsening of social frail state in the regression model based on the Yamada’s one, with slow usual walking speed at the post-test. Our result proposed the unstable RAR in the elderly could be observed in association with worsening of social frail state.
