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: 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.

Background: MCI is an intermediate stage between cognitive impairment status and persons with MCI are at high risk of developing AD. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a multicomponent program (aerobic, resistance exercises, cognitive training, music, myofascial release exercises, acupoint stimulation, and oral gymnastics) on the cognitive and physical functions of older adults in community dwellers and it is to clarify which measurement factors are predictive to reverse MCI to normal. Results: In this study, we measured cognitive functions, physical functions, and the diagnosis of MCI. We assessed factors before (pre-test), and after treatment of 12 training sessions (post-test). The participants were divided into two groups (Improve group and the Non-Improve group). The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the differences between pre-and post-test and revealed significant differences in the UWS (p < 0.05), WM (p < 0.01), SDST (p < 0.01), and MMSE (p < 0.01). Moreover, binomial logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association of the Improved group with the GDS-15 (Odds ratio, 0.587; 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI], 0.309-0.791; p = 0.003) and MMSE (Odds ratio, 0.494; 95 % CI, 0.360-0.957, p = 0.033). Conclusion: This study indicated that this program improved physical and cognitive functions in those who were not prone to depression before treatment and suggests that the GDS measurement might be able to predict the intervention effects of a multicomponent program.

<p><b>目的：</b>認知症地域支援推進員の効率的な事業展開に向けて必要なことを検討する．<b>方法：</b>当センターがある秋田県において，25市町村の認知症地域支援推進員を対象に活動の現状を把握し，事業を効率的に展開するためにはどういったことが必要かを検討するための簡易アンケート調査を行った．<b>結果：</b>第一に認知症支援推進員の存在を地域住民に認知されていないことが判明し，その存在や活動を周知するような機会が必要であることが明らかになった．また推進員同士の情報共有や認知症の支援体制を構築するための社会資源を把握するツールなどが不足していることも明らかになった．また連携の面では，初期集中支援チームや疾患医療センターとの連携はとれているものの，認知症サポーターとの連携が不十分であることが判明した．さらに推進員の大きな役割である認知症ケアパスの作成や活動にはあまり関与しない実態が見えてきた．<b>結論：</b>今回の結果より，事業を効率的に展開するためのポイントとして，1．地域住民に対する認知症地域推進員を周知するための情報発信，2．認知症サポーターや民生委員との連携づくり，3．社会資源マップの作成やその把握，認知症ケアパスの有効活用，4．地域支援推進員が兼務しなくてよい労働環境の整備，5．認知症施策全体を理解するための学習の場づくり，の以上5点を提案する．</p>

<p>The purpose of this study was to clarify the trends in the activity of the initial-phase intensive support teams in Akita Prefecture and to, clarify the factors contributing to the more efficient promotion of future projects. A survey was conducted by questionnaire among 46 initial-phase intensive support team member for dementia. The results indicated that it is mostly maintained cooperation medical center for dementia and community support promoter for dementia. However, the question was insufficient cooperation with family doctor including visit the home. These findings suggest that it is important to disseminate information and improve awareness among the community as well as foster relationships of trust by families.</p>
