Outline of Research at the Start

前期高齢期におけるボランティア活動への新規参加や継続、中途脱落がその後の認知症発症におよぼす影響を明らかにした疫学研究は無い。本研究は、NISSIN Projectコーホート研究に参加する約3,000名を対象とした65歳、70歳パネルデータおよび追跡情報を用いて、(1)身体的、精神的、社会的要因の変化とボランティアの新規参加、継続、中途脱落がその後の認知症発症におよぼす影響を明らかにする。(2)ボランティアの新規参加、継続、中途脱落に影響をおよぼす身体的、精神的、社会的要因の変化を明らかにする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The association between participation in volunteer activities and the incidence of dementia was examined in 1856 participants from the NISSIN Project. Of the study participants, 24.2% participated in volunteer activities. During the follow-up period, 332 developed dementia. Although the hazard ratio for incident dementia was smaller than 1 for those who participated in volunteer activities compared with those who did not participate, no significant association was found. Further analysis showed that participants in either of the six social activities measured: community events, neighborhood association or neighborhood association activities, activities among peers such as senior citizen associations and hobby clubs, volunteer activities, and activities to share skills and experiences with others, had significantly lower hazard ratios for incident dementia compared with those who did not participate.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本では高齢化の進展に伴い、認知症と共に暮らす高齢者が増加している。2025年には約700万人前後にまで増加することが見込まれており、その対策は社会的喫緊の課題となっている。本研究の結果、65歳時点で社会的活動に参加をしている者は参加をしていない者に比べて認知症発症率が有意に低いことが明らかになった。
