Validity of the K ihon Checklist for assessing frailty status
Tập 16 Số 6 - Trang 709-715 - 2016
AimThe Kihon Checklist is extensively used in Japan to identify elderly persons
who are at risk of requiring support/care. We aimed to determine whether or not
the Kihon Checklist can estimate frailty status defined by the Cardiovascular
Health Study criteria.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study evaluated the Kihon
Checklist and activities of daily living based on self‐records maintained with
the ass...
Systematic review of the Kihon Checklist: Is it a reliable assessment of frailty?
Tập 16 Số 8 - Trang 893-902 - 2016
AimTo investigate whether the Kihon Checklist (KCL) can predict frailty and
disability.MethodsThe studies analyzed for the present review were retrieved by
searching electronic databases and other sources using the keywords “Kihon
Checklist” and “Basic Checklist.” The articles were restricted to those written
in English and published in health sciences journals from the year 2006 until
the end of ...
Effect of angiotensin II type 2 receptor on stroke, cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases
Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 13-18 - 2013
Here, we briefly review the role of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) in
cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease, mainly discussing our
experimental studies on the angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor. Ischemic brain
damage is enhanced in mice with overexpression of angiotensin II, with reduced
cerebral blood flow in the penumbra and an increase in oxidative stress in the
ischemic area...
Incidence of post‐stroke delirium and 1‐year outcome
Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 123-129 - 2013
Introduction: Post‐stroke delirium is not uncommon, and is associated with
poorer outcome, higher mortality, longer hospital stay and greater risk of
post‐stroke dementia. We aim to identify the incidence of post‐stroke delirium,
risk factors for its development and 1‐year outcome.Method: Consecutive
patients aged >50 years admitted to the acute stroke unit were recruited.
Baseline demographic d...
Importance of research on peptidylarginine deiminase and citrullinated proteins in age‐related disease
Tập 10 Số s1 - 2010
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PAD) are a group of post‐translational modification
enzymes that citrullinate (deiminate) protein arginine residues in a calcium
ion‐dependent manner. Enzymatic citrullination abolishes positive charges of
native protein molecules, inevitably causing significant alterations in their
structure and functions. Citrullinated protein has an important physiological
purpose; ...
Risk factors and prognostic implications of aspiration pneumonia in older hip fracture patients: A multicenter retrospective analysis
Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 119-123 - 2019
AimThe present study aimed to investigate the risk factors and prognostic
implications of aspiration pneumonia in older hip fracture patients.MethodsA
total of 394 female and 125 male hip fracture patients aged ≥60 years who
underwent surgery between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. To
identify risk factors of aspiration pneumonia, demographic factors, the American
Society of Anesthesi...
Predictors of non‐pharmacological intervention effect on cognitive function and behavioral and psychological symptoms of older people with dementia
Tập 17 Số S1 - Trang 28-35 - 2017
AbstractAimOur previous work showed that non‐pharmacological interventions could
effectively reduce the severity of behavioral and psychological symptoms of
dementia (BPSD), while the factors influencing the effect of intervention were
less explored. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to
investigate the predictors of the non‐pharmacological intervention effect for
old veterans wi...
Classification of frailty using the Kihon checklist: A cluster analysis of older adults in urban areas
Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 69-77 - 2017
AimFrailty is an important predictor of the need for long‐term care and
hospitalization. Our aim was to categorize frailty in community‐dwelling older
adults.MethodsThe present study was carried out in 2011–2013, and consisted of
1380 individuals over 65 years of age. Participants completed the Kihon
checklist, which is widely used to assess frailty in Japan, and their physical,
cognitive and soci...
Usefulness of chair stand time as a surrogate of gait speed in diagnosing sarcopenia
Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 659-661 - 2017
AimDetermining gait speed as a measure of physical performance is recommended in
diagnosing sarcopenia. Gait speed measurements require a certain amount of space
(e.g. a 6‐m course), and might not be feasible in clinical settings or heath
checkup examination sites. We developed a formula to estimate chair stand time
based on gait speed, and examined the validity (sensitivity and specificity) of
us...
Application of segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy to the assessment of skeletal muscle cell mass in elderly men
Tập 14 Số S1 - Trang 129-134 - 2014
AimIt is important to assess not only the total skeletal muscle mass, but also
the intracellular and extracellular compartments of skeletal muscle to examine
the actual relationship between skeletal muscle mass and physical functions.
Segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy is a unique tool with which to
assess intracellular and extracellular water in the limbs. The aim of the
present study...
