Systematic review of the Kihon Checklist: Is it a reliable assessment of frailty?Aim To investigate whether the Kihon Checklist (KCL) can predict frailty and disability. Methods The 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 ...

Effect of angiotensin II type 2 receptor on stroke, cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseasesHere, 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 oxidativ... ...

Incidence of post‐stroke delirium and 1‐year outcomeIntroduction: 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 year...

Importance of research on peptidylarginine deiminase and citrullinated proteins in age‐related diseasePeptidylarginine 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 p... ...

Classification of frailty using the Kihon checklist: A cluster analysis of older adults in urban areasAim Frailty is an important predictor of the need for long‐term care and hospitalization. Our aim was to categorize frailty in community‐dwelling older adults. Methods The present study was carried out in 2011–2013, and consisted of 1380 individuals over 65 years of age. Participants completed th...

Predictors of non‐pharmacological intervention effect on cognitive function and behavioral and psychological symptoms of older people with dementiaAbstract Aim Our 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 predictor...

Risk factors and prognostic implications of aspiration pneumonia in older hip fracture patients: A multicenter retrospective analysisAim The present study aimed to investigate the risk factors and prognostic implications of aspiration pneumonia in older hip fracture patients. Methods A total of 394 female and 125 male hip fracture patients aged ≥60 years who underwent surgery between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed...

Usefulness of chair stand time as a surrogate of gait speed in diagnosing sarcopeniaAim Determining 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 v...

Application of segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy to the assessment of skeletal muscle cell mass in elderly menAim It 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...
