Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined frailty-related factors in older residents of a private nursing home at one and two years. Depression scores were a frailty-related factor in both years. The results suggest that psychological factors were associated with frailty. The study also focused on one of the psychological factors, peace of mind behavior. A comparative study of older people living in a private nursing home in Japan and those community-dwelling in Thailand showed that living environment and lifestyle influenced peace of mind behavior. Furthermore, it was suggested that the continuance of peace of mind behavior may be related to the maintenance of basic activities of daily living. Attention to the psychological aspects of older people was necessary for the prevention of frailty.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

1年後のフレイル同定因子に、口腔機能(固いものが噛みにくい)、身体活動の減少、栄養(体重減少)、ひきこもり(家にいたい)、心理的要因(幸福でない)の項目が該当した。また、心理的要因は、生活習慣や生活環境とも関連することからも、フレイルの有無に注目するだけではなく、フレイル状態に関連する日常生活の困難な点に目を向けた介入が必要である。フレイル予防を包括的に再認識した点で、意義ある研究といえる。
