| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined what is the most significant risk factors for sarcopenia, frailty and oral frailty. Nutritional status examined by Mini nutritional assessment was associated with pre-sarcopenia in Japanese healthy order adults. Maintaining oral health and oral function are important for older adults. Because decreased oral function was induced nutritional imbalance by narrowed food selection. We suggest that intervention in eating habit is lead to early detection of malnutrition, and to prevention of malnutrition.
Our results suggest that mental health was associated with frailty in Japanese healthy older adults. Mental health as a risk factor for physical frailty in healthy elderly. Prevention of decreasing mental frailty at an earlier stage is essential for healthy aging.
