Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study examined the effects of expiratory muscle training on elderly day care service users, who had been classified into Care Grades 1 and 2 based on Japan’s long-term care insurance system.Expiratory muscle training generally improved their respiratory function, particularly their VC and PEF that significantly varied between before and after intervention. As both of these items influence the cough capacity, they may be key to the prevention of aspiration pneumonia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

高齢者に対して、呼気筋力トレーニングを行い呼吸機能の向上を認めた。要介護認定1、2を受けている高齢者を対象としたが、本対象者は誤嚥性肺炎の発症率が高くその予防は喫緊の課題である。介入前後の比較で、肺活量(VC)、最大呼気流速(PEF)の数値が向上したことは、誤嚥したものを咳嗽によって喀出することがより容易になるという事であるため、誤嚥性肺炎の予防において効果が期待できる。呼気筋力トレーニングの啓蒙は肺炎による死亡者の減少の一助となる可能性がある。
