    Journal of Primary Care & Community Health ( SAGE Publications )  14   2023.11  [Refereed]

    Research paper (journal)  

    Introduction:

    While there may be differences in the choice of suicide methods between attempters with and those without a history of psychiatric disorders, it is not clear whether these differences predict the actual degree of physical injury. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the history of psychiatric disorder and the degree of physical injury among suicide attempters in a Japanese rural area.

    Methods:

    We conducted a cross-sectional study analyzing secondary data of 806 suicide attempters from April 2012 to March 2022 obtained from a Japanese rural city. The exposure variable was a history of psychiatric disorders. The primary outcome was the degree of physical injury of suicide attempters: moderate and severe. We conducted a multivariate Poisson regression analysis to estimate the prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Results:

    Among 806 suicide attempters, a significant negative association between the history of psychiatric disorder and the degree of physical injury was observed (PR = 0.40; 95% CI, 0.28-0.59). Those with and without psychiatric disorders were more likely to choose low- and severe-lethality suicide methods such as drug or psychotropic overdoses and hanging or deep wrist injuries, respectively ( P < .001).

    Conclusions:

    The present study highlights the importance of considering suicide attempters, both with and without psychiatric disorders, while formulating targeted suicide prevention strategies.

    Journal of rural medicine : JRM   16 ( 4 ) 206 - 213   2021.10  [Refereed]

    Research paper (journal)  

    Objective: Medical science students, especially nursing students, are more likely to experience academic stress; therefore, resilience helps them focus on their lessons attentively. However, the results of a few existing studies regarding how resilience impacts the academic performance of medical science students are incongruent. This study aimed to investigate whether resilience impacts the academic performance of Japanese nursing students. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire survey from September to November 2020. A total of 229 undergraduate nursing students participated in this study; here, resilience was measured using the Bidimensional Resilience Scale, which includes innate factors (optimism, control, sociability, and vitality) and acquired factors (problem-solving, self-understanding, and understanding others). Academic performance was measured using the functional grade point average (f-GPA). Covariates were demographics, pre-entry academic performance levels, medical history, time spent walking, psychological distress, subjective economic status, and part-time jobs. Multivariate regression analyses were performed. Results: Among the 229 participants, the f-GPA mean (standard deviation) was 2.93 (0.46). Only vitality was significantly associated with a higher f-GPA after multiple imputations (β = 0.06; 95% confidence interval = 0.03-0.09; P<0.01). The Poisson regression analysis of 212 participants with all data indicated that vitality was associated with the fourth quartile f-GPA (prevalence ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.08; P<0.01). Conclusion: There was a significant association between the vitality of resilience components and academic performance among Japanese nursing students. This study suggests that an approach that develops resilience is necessary for the academic success of nursing students.

    Journal of rural medicine : JRM ( Japanese Association of Rural Medicine )  15 ( 4 ) 183 - 188   2020.10  [Refereed]

    Research paper (journal)  

    Objective: Although it is well known that smoking is a risk factor for subarachnoid hemorrhage, the association between smoking and unruptured intracranial aneurysms remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether smoking status was associated with unruptured intracranial aneurysms among Japanese brain health check-up examinees. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1,496 adults (aged 26-90 years) undergoing brain health check-ups at a single community medical support hospital in Akita, Japan between 2009 and 2013. In Japan, people can discretionarily undergo a brain health check-up for early detection of unruptured intracranial aneurysms or subarachnoid hemorrhages. Participants responded to a questionnaire on lifestyle, such as smoking status, and were classified into three groups: never, former, and current smoker. The evaluation of unruptured intracranial aneurysms detected by magnetic resonance angiography was performed by an expert physician. Multiple logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio for unruptured intracranial aneurysms. We performed statistical analyses by age, sex, and family history of stroke. Results: The number of participants with unruptured intracranial aneurysms was 43 (2.9%). The mean age (standard deviation) and proportion of males was 55.8 (9.5) years and 53.3%, respectively. The adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for unruptured intracranial aneurysms of 1.21 (0.48-3.08) among former smokers and 2.88 (1.10-7.50) among current smokers were compared to those of never smokers (p-trend = 0.041). After stratifying by age, sex, and family history of stroke, no interactions were found. Conclusion: This cross-sectional study conducted in Japan showed that smoking was positively associated with unruptured intracranial aneurysms among brain health check-up examinees.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: Although it has been reported that the Japanese dietary pattern is associated with a lower risk of incident functional disability among older people, the potential benefits of improving adherence to the Japanese diet remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between 12-year change in adherence to the Japanese diet and the subsequent risk of incident functional disability in older people in Japan. METHODS: We analyzed 10-year follow-up data from a cohort study of 2923 Japanese older adults (age ≥65 years) in 2006. We collected dietary information using a validated 39-item food frequency questionnaire at two time points (1994 and 2006). Adherence to the Japanese diet (high intake of rice, miso soup, seaweeds, pickles, green and yellow vegetables, fish, green tea; low intake of beef and pork, and coffee) was assessed using the Japanese Diet Index (JDI), which ranges from 0 to 9. Participants were categorized into five groups according to changes in the JDI score at these two time points. Data on incident functional disability from December 2006 to November 2016 were retrieved from the public long-term care insurance database. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident functional disability. RESULTS: During 22,466 person-years of follow-up, 1093 cases of incident functional disability were documented. Compared with participants in the group with the largest decrease in the JDI score (≤-2), the multivariate-adjusted HR (95% CI) of incident functional disability was 0.77 (0.61-0.98) for those in the largest increase group (≥+2). CONCLUSIONS: Improved adherence to the Japanese diet was associated with a significantly lower risk of incident functional disability in older people in Japan.

    OBJECTIVES: To assess whether systemic inflammation and nutritional status contribute to a relationship between tooth loss and mortality in community-dwelling older Japanese individuals using mediation analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This longitudinal study targeted community-dwelling older Japanese individuals (N = 891). The exposure variable was the number of teeth (edentulous, 1-9, 10-19, ≥ 20), while the outcome was all-cause mortality from 2003 to 2016. Nutritional status and systemic inflammation were evaluated as mediators and based on serum albumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, respectively. Covariates included age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, medical history, educational level, depressive symptoms, cognitive impairment, and physical function. The Cox proportional hazards model was applied to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between tooth loss and mortality and the contributions of systemic inflammation and nutritional status to this association. RESULTS: Edentulous participants (HR, 1.84; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.30-2.59) and those with 1-9 teeth (HR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.28-2.40) groups exhibited a significantly higher risk of mortality than did those with ≥ 20 teeth. Mediation analyses showed that nutritional status contributed to the association between tooth loss and mortality in participants with 1-9 teeth, whereas systemic inflammation played no role in this association. CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional status may contribute to the association between tooth loss and mortality in community-dwelling older Japanese individuals with fewer remaining teeth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The data from this prospective cohort study help in elucidating parts of the biological mechanism underlying tooth loss and all-cause mortality in older individuals.

    Tanji Fumiya, Nanbu Hirohito, Kakizaki Masako, Shimatani Keiichi, Nishimoto Daisaku, Kurosawa Masahiro

    Igaku Kyoiku / Medical Education (Japan) ( Japan Society for Medical Education )  54 ( 1 ) 69 - 79   2023.02

    <p>Introduction: This study aims to examine the actual conditions of Institutional Research (IR) activities and operations and explore the differences between the items analyzed by the IR organization and those that nursing faculty members would like to compare with other Japanese nursing universities. Method: We conducted a questionnaire survey among 48 nursing universities in Japan (424 instructors) in December 2020. Results: Of the total 116 participants, the number of participants who responded to being aware of both the name and role of IR and having an IR organization in their universities was 51 (44.0%) and 82 (70.7%), respectively. Teaching-related items ranked high in both the items analyzed by the IR organization and those that nursing faculty members would like to compare with other nursing universities. For the survey of admission applicants and graduates, the degree of the desire to be compared with other nursing universities was higher than that of being analyzed by the IR organization (p<0.05). Discussion: Although a greater number of IR organizations are being established, awareness of these remains low within Japanese nursing universities. Additionally, there are differences between the items analyzed by the IR organization and those that nursing faculty members would like to compare with other Japanese nursing universities. Therefore, the goal is to achieve a common understanding of IR activities and operations at each nursing university.</p>

  • The Association between Number of Remaining Teeth and Maintenance of Successful Aging in Japanese Older People: A 9-Year Longitudinal Study

    Tanji Fumiya, Komiyama Takamasa, Ohi Takashi, Hattori Yoshinori, Watanabe Makoto, Lu Yukai, Tsuji Ichiro

    The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine ( 東北ジャーナル刊行会 )  252 ( 3 ) 245 - 252   2020

    <p>With population aging, an increasing attention has been paid to quality of life rather than mere longevity. Now, it is urgently needed to clarify predictors of well-being in later life, i.e., “successful aging (SA).” The aim of this study is to investigate whether the number of remaining teeth impacts on maintenance of SA among Japanese older people. The present study was conducted in Tsurugaya district, a suburban area of Sendai, in northern Japan, and included older people aged ≥ 70 years who had met the criteria for SA at a 2003 baseline survey. At the baseline survey, dentists obtained data for the number of remaining teeth. We obtained information about Long-term Care Insurance certification, including the dates of incident functional disability and death between 2003 and 2012. Data pertaining to health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were collected at the 2003 baseline survey and the 2012 follow-up survey. Maintenance of SA was defined in terms of survival, disability-free status and high HRQOL in both 2003 and 2012. Among 450 participants, 108 (24.0%) were considered to have maintained a state of SA. When participants were classified into three groups according to previous studies, in comparison with participants who retained 0-9 teeth, the multivariate prevalence ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.39 (0.81-2.36) for those who retained 10-19 teeth and 1.58 (1.002-2.50) for those who retained ≥ 20 teeth (p trend = 0.046). The present results suggest that retaining ≥ 20 teeth is associated with maintenance of SA among Japanese older people.</p>
