OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the relationship between frailty and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). METHODS: We longitudinally evaluated the temporal changes and the relationships between frailty and LUTS in 247 community-dwelling adults (45 years or older) at baseline and at a 5-year follow-up. We used the Fried phenotype (phenotype-based frailty), 5-item modified frailty index (5i-mFI; comorbidity-based frailty), and frailty discriminant score (comprehensive frailty assessment) to evaluate frailty. LUTS were evaluated using the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS). RESULTS: We analyzed 247 participants with a median age of 60 years. The median IPSS and OABSS were significantly increased over the 5 years. The proportion of frail individuals did not increase significantly over the 5 years. Of the three frailty assessment tools, the 5i-mFI score significantly increased between 2014 and 2019. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the 5i-mFI score was significantly associated with the severity of LUTS in 2014 to 5i-mFI in 2019 but not with 5i-mFI in 2014 to the severity of LUTS in 2019. CONCLUSION: The effect of LUTS on frailty might be greater than the effect of frailty on LUTS. Further large-scale studies are needed to elucidate the relationship between LUTS and frailty.

Affordable and accessible behaviour-based interventions that do not overwhelm or demoralise overweight/obese individuals are needed. Combining clothing with behaviour change techniques might be an option. This is because clothing is a social norm, and clothing and motivation for weight loss are associated with the common desire to look better. Therefore, we conducted a single-blind randomised controlled trial to examine the effect of an intervention that combined behaviour change techniques, including simplified goal setting and self-monitoring, with a body compression corrective garment (BCCG), which exerts continuous but minimal tactile pressure on the hips and abdomen. We enrolled healthy community-dwelling adults with a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 and assigned 35 and 34 participants to the intervention and control groups, respectively. The reduction in body weight was 1.3 kg more in the intervention group than in the control group after the 12-week intervention period (p < 0.05, repeated-measures mixed model). In addition, eating behaviour and body appreciation showed significant improvement in the intervention group compared with the control group. Our newly developed intervention improved eating behaviour and body appreciation and reduced the body weight of overweight/obese participants. Wearing a BCCG seems to facilitate behavioural changes and lead to weight loss.

The influx of intestinal bacteria-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the blood has attracted attention as a cause of diseases. The aim of this study is investigating the associations between the influx of LPS, dietary factors, gut microbiota, and health status in the general adult population. Food/nutrient intake, gut microbiota, health status and plasma LPS-binding protein (LBP; LPS exposure indicator) were measured in 896 residents (58.1% female, mean age 54.7 years) of the rural Iwaki district of Japan, and each correlation was analyzed. As the results, plasma LBP concentration correlated with physical (right/left arms’ muscle mass [β = −0.02, −0.03]), renal (plasma renin activity [β = 0.27], urine albumin creatinine ratio [β = 0.50]), adrenal cortical (cortisol [β = 0.14]), and thyroid function (free thyroxine [β = 0.05]), iron metabolism (serum iron [β = −0.14]), and markers of lifestyle-related diseases (all Qs < 0.20). Plasma LBP concentration were mainly negatively correlated with vegetables/their nutrients intake (all βs ≤ −0.004, Qs < 0.20). Plasma LBP concentration was positively correlated with the proportion of Prevotella (β = 0.32), Megamonas (β = 0.56), and Streptococcus (β = 0.65); and negatively correlated with Roseburia (β = −0.57) (all Qs < 0.20). Dietary factors correlated with plasma LBP concentration correlated with positively (all βs ≥ 0.07) or negatively (all βs ≤ −0.07) the proportion of these bacteria (all Qs < 0.20). Our results suggested that plasma LBP concentration in the Japanese general adult population was associated with various health issues, and that dietary habit was associated with plasma LBP concentration in relation to the intestinal bacteria.

Abstract
Background
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) has enormous medical and socioeconomic burdens, which early diagnosis and intervention can reduce. We investigated the influence of knee effusion on the progression of knee OA in patients with early knee OA.
Methods
A total of 404 participants without radiographic knee OA were assessed from a 3-year longitudinal analysis. Participants were classified into non-OA and early knee OA groups. The effusion area (mm<sup>2</sup>) was quantified using ultrasonography. Receiver operating characteristic and logistic regression analyses were performed.
Results
At the 3-year follow-up, 114 of 349 knees (32%) had progressed from non-OA and 32 of 55 knees (58%) had progressed from early knee OA to radiographic knee OA. Logistic regression analysis showed that female sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.36, 95% confidence interval [CIs] 2.98–5.42), early knee OA (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.08–3.75), body mass index (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.02–1.19), and effusion area (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.01–1.02) were significantly correlated with knee OA progression. Women who were overweight (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) with more severe effusion had a higher risk of OA progression (area under the curve = 0.691, OR = 6.00) compared to those not overweight (area under the curve = 0.568, OR = 1.91).
Conclusion
Knee effusion may be an indicator of the progression of early-stage knee OA. -

Introduction: Olfactory disorder develops relatively early in patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). For verifying the usefulness of olfactory test as a screening tool for cognitive decline, we investigated the relationship between the olfactory identification test and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores in community-dwelling participants of the Iwaki health promotion project. Since elderly people are not always conscious of olfactory dysfunction, we also examined the relationship of olfactory dysfunction awareness with cognitive decline.
Methods: We enrolled 844 participants (324 men and 520 women) in this study. Each participant was asked “How do you feel about the smell?", and they answered either “good", “average", or “poor". They also sniffed three odorants (India ink, cypress wood, and curry) in the odor stick identification test for Japanese. All the participants underwent MMSE. The MMSE scores were divided into two groups: the orientation and recall group and the remaining items group.
Results: In both men and women, the total MMSE scores significantly correlated with the simple olfactory identification test scores. When the MMSE scores were divided into two groups, the MMSE orientation and recall subset scores and the remaining 8 MMSE items' scores, a significant correlation was observed only between the MMSE orientation and recall subset and olfactory identification test scores in both men and women. Regarding olfactory awareness, the participants with MMSE scores ≤27 tended to have a dissociation between olfactory awareness and the ability to identify odors.
Discussion: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is recognized as a precursor to AD. About 10% patients with MCI shift to AD annually, but early detection and early response to the MCI stage with AD may delay onset. In this study, a significant correlation was found between the brief odor identification test and MMSE orientation and recall subset scores. Many participants having MMSE scores of ≤27 were unaware of their impaired odor identification ability. Further study is needed for establishing a convenient olfactory test to detect early cognitive decline. -

高齢者機能健診の参加者のうち,認知症やパーキンソン病,要介護認定者などではなく,外出頻度が多くない軽度認知障害(MCI)を有する83名を対象とし,介入群41名と対照群42名に割り付けた.介入群には6ヵ月間週2回の健康活動促進プログラムを提供し,対照群には2回の健康講座を提供した.介入群における48回の教室参加率は54.8%,対照群における2回の健康講座への参加率は68.3%であった.健康活動への参加回数を身体・知的・社会活動別に比較し,すべての活動において対照群に比べて介入群のほうで有意に多かった.介入前後における介入群と対照群の老年期うつ尺度(GDS)スコアを比較し,主効果ならびに交互作用は認めなかった.白質神経線維の結合性では,前視床放線における異方性比率(FA)が介入前は対照群と介入群で有意な違いがみられなかったが,6ヵ月の介入後には介入群に比べて対照群のFAが低かった.上縦束において介入前は対照群と介入群のFAに違いはみられなかったが,介入後には介入群に比べて対照群のほうで上縦束のFAが低かった.
