| Research Abstract |
Okinawan people have the longest average life span in all of Japan, I. e., in the world. We attempted to. Elucidate what are most important factors to their prognosis of Okinawan centenarians after hundred year-old, in terms of the physiological and psychological data in their home or institutions.
The subjects were at least thirty centenarians every. Year, and done as four years' longitudinal study.
Multi-factoral analysis strongly indicated that A/G ratio, electrocytes, hemoglobin, total protein, GPT, serum globulin-albumin levels, IgG IgA,IgM in blood test were most important factors to the prognosis of the oldest olds in Okinawa, Japan. The acute decline or elevation in the level of those values per year appeared to give better explanations for the centenarians who got dead after one hundred-year in homes and in nursing homes throughout our period of survey.
Furthermore, those data suggested that another physiological date of ECG(electro-cardio-gram), their ADL (the levels of independence) and QOL levels (such as existence of dementia) might also be related with their prognosis. The decline or much changes in those examinations year by year indicated to drive the oldest olds in Okinawa faster and worse prognosis.
