    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health concern; however, its association with the posterior occlusal contact remains unexplored. This study investigated the association between posterior occlusal contact and CVD risk in a large Japanese cohort and examined whether the loss of posterior occlusal contact in individuals with at least 20 teeth was a distinct CVD risk factor. Using Japanese health insurance claims data from 1,209,997 adults aged ≥ 40 years without prior CVD history (April 2016-March 2022), participants were categorized using the Eichner classification to assess posterior occlusal contact. Over an average follow-up period of 36.2 months, 51,471 participants developed CVD. Compared with individuals with full occlusal contact (Eichner A), those with reduced contact (Eichner B and C) demonstrated significantly higher CVD risks, with hazard ratios of 1.25 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-1.32) and 1.31 (95% CI: 1.17-1.46), respectively. In a subgroup analysis of participants with ≥ 20 teeth, reduced occlusal contact from Eichner A2 to B2 was associated with an increased risk of CVD, especially in those aged 40-59 years. These findings suggest that reduced posterior occlusal contact may contribute to increased CVD risk, emphasizing the importance of preserving natural occlusal support for CVD prevention.

    BACKGROUND: To investigate the differences in health care expenditure (HCE) due to the comorbidity status of periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS: This cohort study used health care claims and oral health screening data to identify participants with PD or DM and followed them for 1 year to assess their HCE. PD and DM were determined based on PD screening and medical claims data, respectively. The study participants were divided into four groups: participants without PD and DM (PD-/DM-), participants with PD and without DM (PD+/DM-), participants without PD and with DM (PD-/DM+), and participants with PD and DM (PD+/DM+). Covariates included age, sex, smoking status, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score. A generalized linear model (GLM) with a gamma distribution and log link function was used to examine the association between comorbidity and annual HCE, and a two-part model was used to assess the differences in annual HCE. RESULTS: In total, 790 participants (mean age: 63.1, 30.3% male) were included. Compared with the PD-/DM- group, the relative cost ratio (RCR) for the PD+/DM+, PD-/DM+, PD+/DM- groups were 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06-1.62), 1.27 (95% CI: 0.99-1.64), 1.01 (95% CI: 0.89-1.14) times higher, respectively. The adjusted mean annual HCE for the PD+/DM+, PD-/DM+, PD+/DM- groups were \59,328 (95% CI: 14,171-104,484), \50,228 (95% CI: -15,801-116,256), \-2,162 (95% CI: -24,598-20,274) higher than the PD-/DM- group, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study provides a significant contribution of PD to the increase in HCE, particularly in individuals with DM. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: The association between periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) has commonly been described in previous literature, but the health expenditure incurred when PD and DM coexist is not clear. This study investigates the differences in health care expenditure (HCE) due to the comorbidity status of PD and DM. HCE is calculated from medical, dental, and pharmacy-dispensing expenditures from the claims data. PD was defined by periodontal pocket scores, and DM was determined based on medical records. Study participants were divided into four groups based on whether they had PD, DM, both, or neither. The results showed that people with both PD and DM had higher HCE compared with those without PD and DM. These findings may suggest the importance of cooperation between medical and dental professionals in the treatment of DM in terms of HCE.

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between dental attendance with periodontal care and the risk of dialysis initiation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC) claims database (January 2015 to August 2022). Patients with T2D, aged 40-74, were included. Dental attendance with periodontal care and initiation of dialysis were used as the exposure and outcome variables, respectively. We fitted the Cox proportional hazards model, including potential confounders, to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). RESULTS: Among 99,273 participants (mean age = 54.4 years [SD = 7.8], male = 71.9%), the incidence rate of dialysis initiation was 0.92 per 1000 person-years. After adjusting for all covariates, those with periodontal care (HR = 0.68 [95%CI = 0.51-0.91] for ≥ 1 time/year and HR = 0.56 [95%CI = 0.41-0.77] for ≥ 1 time/6 months) had a significantly lower risk of dialysis initiation compared to those without dental attendance. CONCLUSION: Periodontal disease care in patients with T2D is associated with a reduced risk of dialysis initiation by 32%-44%. This suggests that integrating periodontal care into diabetes management may help prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy and improve patient outcomes.

    OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the bidirectional longitudinal association between subjective oral health (SOH) and subjective well-being (SWB) over time. METHODS: This cohort study was based on a four-wave surveys conducted by the English Longitudinal Study of Aging. SOH was measured by oral impacts on daily performance (OIDP), self-rated oral health (SROH), and SWB was measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale, Control, Autonomy, Self-Realization, and Pleasure (CASP-19), and satisfaction with life scale (SWLS). To evaluate the bidirectional associations between SOH and SWB, separate models were created using SOH and SWB as the outcome and exposure, respectively. Additionally, the synchronous and lagged effects of exposure on outcomes were checked by employing exposures measured at different time points. A generalized estimating equation model was fitted, including the exposure variables, outcome variables in the previous wave, and baseline covariates. RESULTS: Among 4,510 participants (mean age=61.7 years [1SD=7.9], men=43.1 %), 8.1 %, 18.2 %, 14.3 %, 30.5 %, and 25.0 % had poor SOH and SWB as measured by OIDP, SROH, CES-D, CASP-19, and SWLS at baseline, respectively. The results of the regression models with all combinations of SOH and SWB measures showed that poor conditions of SOH or SWB were significantly associated with poor conditions of the other measures (all p < 0.05). In almost all combinations of SOH and SWB measures, the synchronous effect was stronger than the lagged effect. CONCLUSION: SOH and SWB are closely linked, and comprehensive care that considers oral health could contribute to well-being later in life.

    OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of dental caries is high in Japan, leading to a huge burden of overall expenditure on dental caries treatment for the population. School-based fluoride mouth-rinse (S-FMR) has been implemented as a public health intervention. However, its cost-effectiveness remains unclear, where universal health insurance covers a broad range of dental treatments at relatively low cost. The aim of the study was to determine whether S-FMR is associated with lower dental caries treatment expenditure in Japan, where the universal health insurance system widely covers dental treatments. In addition, the cost-benefit of S-FMR was estimated. METHODS: This ecological study examined the association between S-FMR coverage and dental caries treatment expenditure in all 47 prefectures of Japan. Data were obtained from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan open data (NDB Open Data Japan), national survey data on the prevalence of S-FMR, and other census data for each prefecture. The outcome variable was the average annual treatment expenditure of for children aged 5-14 per child. The explanatory variable was the S-FMR coverage of children per prefecture, divided into quartiles: (Q1) 0.0%-0.48%, (Q2) 0.54%-6.9%, (Q3) 7.2%-25.0% and (Q4) 26.9%-80.4%. Linear regression analysis was performed with adjustment for the number of dental clinics per 100 000 individuals, per capita prefectural income, and percentage of the population aged between 5 and 14 years. RESULTS: The dental caries treatment expenditure was lower in prefectures with higher S-FMR coverage: (Q1) 2378 JPY, (Q2) 2215 JPY, (Q3) 2217 JPY and (Q4) 2065 JPY. Linear regression analysis showed that, compared to the prefectures with the lowest S-FMR coverage, the prefectures with the highest coverage exhibited significantly lower per person dental caries treatment expenditure by 186.0 (95% CI = 96.6, 275.4) JPY. When annual cost of S-FMR per person was lower, 200 JPY, S-FMR would save 0.9 billion JPY if all prefectures change from Q1 to Q4 (approximately 8.2 million USD). CONCLUSIONS: Although public healthcare insurance in Japan covers most dental treatments at a relatively low cost, the current findings suggest that S-FMR could still be a cost-effective public health intervention.

    This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a hypothetical biennial weight management regimen in reducing the necessity for knee replacement (KR) surgery among middle-aged and older adults with or at a higher risk for knee osteoarthritis (OA). Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort in the US, comprising community-dwelling adults aged 45-79 years at high risk for or with symptomatic knee OA who underwent baseline assessments from September 2008 to December 2010 were used. Subsequent evaluations were conducted at 12, 24, and 96 months. A hypothetical biennial weight management regimen, ranging from low to moderate-to-high intensity, was employed as the exposure, whereas the incidence of KR during follow-up was the outcome. This study, using a targeted learning approach to estimate hypothetical weight management regimens adjusted for time-varying confounding and attrition due to loss to follow-up, revealed that a 7.5% reduction in body mass index (high-intensity) resulted in a notable decrease in KR rates, from 5.93% [95% confidence interval (CI), 5.64-6.21] in the baseline maintenance regimen (low-intensity) to 3.60% (95% CI, 2.70-4.50) in the high-intensity regimen. In conclusion, a hypothetical weight management regimen significantly reduces the need for KR surgery in adults with knee OA.

    This study examines the association between posterior occlusal contact and the risk of dementia development in the Japanese population, utilizing Eichner classification to evaluate occlusal status. Data from Japanese health insurance claims were analyzed for the period from April 2016 to March 2022. Participants had undergone specific health checkups, had no prior history of dementia, and were classified according to their dental occlusal contact. Dementia diagnoses were determined using ICD-10 codes, and participants were divided into three groups-A, B, and C-based on the Eichner classification, which indicates the extent of occlusal contact. Over an average follow-up period of 35.6 months, 691 dementia were identified among 931,309 participants. Those diagnosed with dementia were more likely to belong to Eichner B and C groups, signifying reduced occlusal contact. After adjusting for covariates, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for Eichner B and C were 1.73 (1.31-2.28) and 2.10 (1.35-3.26), respectively. Sensitivity analyses confirmed these findings in adults aged 60-75. These findings suggest that reduced posterior occlusal contact correlates with an increased risk of dementia. Since the study is limited to participants under the age of 75, further research is required to determine its generalizability to older populations.

    OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of early intensive in-hospital rehabilitation, initiated within 2 days of surgery and lasting up to 7 days, on the recovery of activities of daily living in patients with and without dementia. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Medical claims data from 925 hospitals in Japan were analyzed. We enrolled patients aged ≥50 years who underwent hip fracture surgery within 2 days of admission between April 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019. Low- (20 minutes per day starting on day 2), highest- (60 minutes per day starting on day 1), and gradually increasing (20 minutes on day 1, 40 minutes on days 2-4, and 60 minutes per day thereafter) intensity regimens were used as exposures. The outcomes were Barthel Index (BI) scores at 14 and 30 days postoperatively. For per-protocol analysis, a target trial emulation framework with the sequential doubly robust estimator was used. RESULTS: Among patients without dementia (N = 11,461), no significant differences in BI scores were observed at 14 days postoperatively across regimens. At 30 days postoperatively, significant differences in BI scores were noted between highest- and low-intensity regimens and between gradually increasing intensity and low-intensity regimens, with additive BI scores of 15.2 (95% CI, 10.7-19.7) and 14.7 (95% CI, 9.2-20.2), respectively. In patients with dementia (N = 14,302), significant differences in BI scores were noted at 14 days postoperatively between highest- and low-intensity regimens and between gradually increasing intensity and low-intensity regimens, with additive BI scores of 8.7 (95% CI, 5.2-12.2) and 10.7 (95% CI, 5.8-15.6), respectively. At 30 days postoperatively, a significant difference in BI scores was observed between gradually increasing intensity and low-intensity regimens, with an additive BI score of 17.9 (95% CI, 11.3-24.5). CONCLUSION: Early intensive in-hospital rehabilitation is highly relevant and beneficial for dementia patients.

    Introduction: A public oral health screening, periodontal disease screening, has been implemented in Japan, but it remains unclear whether screening encourages subsequent regular dental visits. This study aimed to examine whether people who underwent periodontal disease screening were more likely to regularly visit dentists after undergoing the screening than before using a difference-in-differences (DID) approach. Methods: This study used health care claims data of municipality residents who underwent periodontal disease screening in 2017 or 2018. For each screening recipient, 4 individuals were extracted from those who did not undergo screening as controls. In the DID analysis, we assessed the change in the proportion of dentist visits at least once every 180 d after undergoing screening. Results: A total of 4,050 participants were included in the analysis. The proportion of participants visiting dentists was consistent throughout the study period (approximately 45%) among the participants who did not undergo the screening. However, among the participants who underwent the screening, while the proportion who visited dentists was consistent before screening (approximately 60%), the proportion was higher after screening (1–180 d after, 81.2%). DID analysis indicated that the proportion increased by 12.9% after the screening. In addition, the age-subgroup DID estimates were higher in the younger population (aged 20–35 y, 13.9%; 40–55 y, 12.8%; 60 y, 12.6%). Conclusions: Among people who underwent periodontal disease screening, a higher proportion visited dentists after undergoing the screening than before, suggesting that periodontal disease screening was associated with an increase in subsequent regular dental visits. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Our results provide evidence that a public oral health screening could increase regular dental visits, which has the potential to improve and maintain people’s oral health, especially in the younger population.

    OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have reported that tooth loss is associated with an increased risk of dementia; however, few have explored the association between number of teeth and dementia-free and total life expectancies. We investigated whether having more teeth is associated with longer dementia-free and total life expectancies. DESIGN: A 10-year follow-up prospective cohort study from 2010 to 2020. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Functionally independent older adults aged ≥65 years living in 9 municipalities in Japan. METHODS: The exposure was the number of teeth (≥20, 10-19, 1-9, and 0). Dementia onset and mortality within the 10-year follow-up were used as the outcome. Dementia-free and total life expectancies according to the number of teeth were derived from multistate modeling estimates. RESULTS: A total of 44,083 participants were included (men: 46.8%). The mean age was 73.7 years (standard deviation [SD] = 6.0). During follow-up, 17.3% and 21.4% of the participants experienced the onset of dementia and death, respectively. Having fewer teeth was associated with dementia (hazard ratio [HR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-1.22, 10-19 teeth; HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.08-1.22, 1-9 teeth; HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05-1.21, 0 teeth) and death (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05-1.22, 10-19 teeth; HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.19-1.37, 1-9 teeth; HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.36-1.59, 0 teeth) compared with having ≥20 teeth. Dementia-free life expectancies at the age of 65 years were 16.43 years and 18.88 years with ≥20 teeth, and 14.40 years and 17.12 years with 0 teeth for men and women, respectively. The total life expectancies at the age of 65 were 17.84 years and 22.03 years with ≥20 teeth, and 15.42 years and 19.79 years with 0 teeth for men and women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Having more teeth was associated with longer dementia-free and total life expectancies.

    BACKGROUND: We aimed to construct an artificial intelligence-based model for detecting oral cancer and dysplastic leukoplakia using oral cavity images captured with a single-lens reflex camera. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We used 1043 images of lesions from 424 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), leukoplakia, and other oral mucosal diseases. An object detection model was constructed using a Single Shot Multibox Detector to detect oral diseases and their locations using images. The model was trained using 523 images of oral cancer, and its performance was evaluated using images of oral cancer (n = 66), leukoplakia (n = 49), and other oral diseases (n = 405). RESULTS: For the detection of only OSCC versus OSCC and leukoplakia, the model demonstrated a sensitivity of 93.9% versus 83.7%, a negative predictive value of 98.8% versus 94.5%, and a specificity of 81.2% versus 81.2%. CONCLUSIONS: Our proposed model is a potential diagnostic tool for oral diseases.

    BACKGROUND: Long-term care (LTC) costs create burdens on aging societies. Maintaining oral health through dental visits may result in shorter LTC periods, thereby decreasing LTC costs; however, this remains unverified. We examined whether dental visits in the past 6 months were associated with cumulative LTC insurance (LTCI) costs. METHODS: This cohort study of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study targeted independent adults aged ≥65 years in 2010 over an eight-year follow-up. We used data from a self-reported questionnaire and LTCI records from the municipalities. The outcome was cumulative LTCI costs, and exposure was dental visits within 6 months for prevention, treatment, and prevention or treatment. A two-part model was used to estimate the differences in the predicted cumulative LTCI costs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each dental visit. RESULTS: The mean age of the 8,429 participants was 73.7 years (standard deviation [SD]=6.0), and 46.1% were men. During the follow-up period, 17.6% started using LTCI services. The mean cumulative LTCI cost was USD 4877.0 (SD=19082.1). The predicted cumulative LTCI costs were lower among those had dental visits than among those who did not. The differences in predicted cumulative LTCI cost were -USD 1089.9 (95%CI = -1,888.5 - -291.2) for dental preventive visits, -USD 806.7 (95%CI = -1,647.4 - 34.0) for treatment visits, and -USD 980.6 (95%CI = -1,835.7 - -125.5) for preventive or treatment visits. CONCLUSIONS: Dental visits, particularly preventive visits, were associated with lower cumulative LTCI costs. Maintaining oral health through dental visits may effectively reduce the LTCI costs.

    BackgroundDementia is the leading cause of disability and imposes a significant burden on society. Previous studies have suggested an association between metabolites and cognitive decline. Although the metabolite composition differs between Western and Asian populations, studies targeting Asian populations remain scarce.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used data from a cohort survey of community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years living in Miyagi, Japan, conducted by Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization between 2013 and 2016. Forty-three metabolite variables quantified using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used as explanatory variables. Dependent variable was the presence of cognitive decline (≤ 23 points), assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination. Principal component (PC) analysis was performed to reduce the dimensionality of metabolite variables, followed by logistic regression analysis to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cognitive decline.ResultsA total of 2,940 participants were included (men: 49.0%, mean age: 67.6 years). Among them, 1.9% showed cognitive decline. The first 12 PC components (PC1-PC12) accounted for 71.7% of the total variance. Multivariate analysis showed that PC1, which mainly represented essential amino acids, was associated with lower odds of cognitive decline (OR = 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80-0.98). PC2, which mainly included ketone bodies, was associated with cognitive decline (OR = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.51). PC3, which included amino acids, was associated with lower odds of cognitive decline (OR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.66-0.99).ConclusionAmino acids are protectively associated with cognitive decline, whereas ketone metabolites are associated with higher odds of cognitive decline.

    Eating out of home (EOH), with its diverse food options, can benefit those with difficulty preparing their meals, especially older adults. Oral health status may be a determinant of EOH, as food accessibility is influenced by oral health, but this association remains unclear. This cross-sectional study used merged data from two national statistical surveys conducted in 2019. Participants were individuals aged ≥ 65 years who responded to both surveys. The frequency of EOH (<once/week or ≥once/week) was the dependent variable. The number of teeth was used as the independent variable (≥20, 10-19, 1-9, and 0). Prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariate Poisson regression analysis to identify the association between EOH and the number of teeth, adjusting for possible confounders. We analyzed 2164 participants (mean age = 74.0, women 52.4%). Of these, 456 (21.1%) participants were EOH ≥ once/week; 1142 (52.8%) participants had ≥20 teeth. Compared to those with ≥20 teeth, those with <20 teeth had a lower prevalence of EOH ≥ once/week (10-19: PR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.72-1.09, 1-9: PR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.51-0.89, and 0: PR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.36-0.77, respectively). We observed an association between fewer teeth and a lower frequency of EOH.

    BACKGROUND: The influence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on dental care utilization may have differed according to individual characteristics or type of dental care provision. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in dental care utilization and per-attendance costs by age group and type of dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. METHODS: This time-series study used healthcare insurance claims data from 01/07/2019 to 09/27/2021 (143 weeks) from nine municipalities in Japan. Dental care utilization rate per week and average dental care cost per attendance by age groups (0-19y/20-64y/65-74y/≥ 75y) and types of dental care (outpatient/visiting) were used as outcome variables. COVID-19 pandemic waves in Japan were used as predictors: 1st (03/23/2020-05/17/2020), 2nd (06/22/2020-09/27/2020), 3rd (10/26/2020-02/21/2021), 4th (02/22/2021-06/07/2021), and 5th (07/05/2021-09/13/2021) waves. Fixed effect models were employed to estimate the proportional changes. RESULTS: In the fixed effect model, we observed large declines in dental care utilization during the 1st (17.0-22.0%) and 2nd waves (3.0-13.0%) compared to the non-pandemic wave period in all age groups. In contrast, the average dental care cost per attendance increased in all age groups by 5.2-8.6% during the 1st wave. CONCLUSIONS: During the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, dental care utilization decreased in all age groups, whereas the average dental care cost per attendance increased. The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the dental care provision pattern towards less frequent and more concentrated dental care to avoid the risk of infection.

    Anorexia of aging is a risk factor for malnutrition among older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the association between objective and subjective oral health and anorexia among independent older adults. This cross-sectional study targeted independent older adults aged ≥65 years who participated in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study conducted in 2022. The outcome variable was the presence of anorexia, as assessed by the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire. Exposure variables were dental status (≥20 teeth, 10-19 teeth with/without dentures, and 0-9 teeth with/without dentures) as objective oral health and oral health-related quality of life measured by five items of the short version of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) (eating, speaking, smiling, emotional stability, and enjoying with others) as subjective oral health. We fitted the Poisson regression model, including possible confounders, and estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals. Among 19,787 participants (mean age: 74.6 years [1SD = 6.2], male: 48.5%), 9.0% were classified as having anorexia. After adjusting possible confounders, those with ≤19 teeth had a higher proportion of experiencing anorexia compared to those with ≥20 teeth; however, the association was less pronounced among those with dentures (0-9 teeth with dentures: PR = 1.48 [1.31-1.68], and 0-9 teeth without dentures: PR = 2.08 [1.65-2.63]). Even after adjusting for dental status, each item of OIDP was significantly associated with the presence of anorexia (all p < 0.05). The results showed that both objective and subjective poor oral health were significantly associated with a higher probability of developing anorexia of aging. Therefore, improving both objective and subjective oral health through appropriate dental care could contribute to maintaining appetite in later life.

    PURPOSE: Depression is a leading cause of disability. Although tooth loss increases the risk of depressive symptoms, it is unclear whether dental prosthesis use moderates this risk. This study aimed to investigate whether dental prosthesis use moderates the association between tooth loss and new depressive symptoms in older adults. METHODS: This cohort study used data from the 2016 and 2019 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES). The participants were independent older adults aged ≥65 years without depressive symptoms in 2016. The onset of depressive symptoms in 2019 was the outcome variable. The explanatory variables were dental status (≥20 teeth, 10-19 teeth with or without dental prostheses, and 0-9 teeth with or without dental prostheses) in 2016. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Poisson regression models with potential confounders as covariates. RESULTS: The analysis included 50,169 participants (mean age: 72.8 [standard deviation, 5.4] years). During follow-up, the incidence of depressive symptoms was 11.3%. Compared to those who had ≥20 teeth, the RR of depressive symptom onset was highest among those who had 0-9 teeth without dental prostheses (RR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.04-1.56), after the adjustment for confounders. However, this risk was lower in those with 0-9 teeth and dental prostheses (RR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.15). CONCLUSIONS: These data highlight the potential of dental prostheses as an important factor in reducing the risk of depressive symptoms among individuals with severe tooth loss.

    OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and oral hypofunction (OHF) using propensity score matching (PSM) to adjust for differences between older adults with RA and the general older adult population. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 189 older adults with RA in 2019 (mean age, 71.9 ± 3.6) and 47 178 independent older adult residents in 2016 (mean age, 71.6 ± 4.0), respectively. The questionnaire covered information on socio-demographic characteristics and OHF for both groups. Age, sex, educational level and smoking history were used to determine PSM. Prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of self-reported OHF (fewer remaining teeth, decreased masticatory function, deterioration of swallowing function and oral dryness) were estimated using Poisson regressions. RESULT: OHF was observed in 44.4% of patients with RA and 27.5% of residents. Before PSM, the prevalence of OHF among patients with RA was higher than that of residents (PR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.50-2.05). After PSM, there were 189 patients with RA and residents, and the prevalence of OHF among patients with RA was still higher (PR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.22-2.13). Poisson regression showed that the prevalence of 19 or fewer teeth (PR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.82-1.36), difficulties eating tough foods (PR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.90-1.55), difficulties swallowing tea or soup (PR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.19-2.63), and dry mouth (PR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.90-4.07) was higher among patients with RA than residents. CONCLUSION: Compared with the general older adult population, patients with RA have a higher prevalence of self-reported OHF.

    Abstract Aim Tooth loss has various causes; however, its cause‐specific effects on health outcomes remain unclear. This study evaluated whether the association between past/current smoking and risk of dementia was mediated by tooth loss. Materials and Methods This 9‐year‐follow‐up prospective cohort study targeted adults aged ≥65 years. Dementia incidence during 2013–2019, smoking status (never, past/current) in 2010 and the number of remaining teeth (≤19, ≥20) in 2013 were the outcome, exposure and mediator, respectively. We used causal mediation analysis to fit the Cox proportional hazards model and estimated the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the natural indirect effect (NIE) of smoking on dementia incidence through tooth loss and their mediated proportions. Results Among 32,986 participants (mean age 72.6 years [1 SD = 5.4]; men 48.4%), the dementia incidence during follow‐up was 2.11/100 person‐years. Tooth loss significantly mediated the association between past/current smoking and dementia incidence; the NIE of fewer remaining teeth for past/current smokers compared to never smokers was HR = 1.03 (95% CI: 1.02–1.05), and the mediated proportion was 18.0%. Conclusions Tooth loss significantly mediates the association between past/current smoking and an increased risk of dementia among older adults.

    Abstract Background Bivalent COVID-19 vaccines have been implemented worldwide since the booster vaccination campaigns of autumn of 2022, but little is known about their effectiveness. Thus, this study holistically evaluated the effectiveness of bivalent vaccines against infection in older adults in Japan. Methods We adopted the test-negative design using COVID-19 test data of individuals, aged ≥ 65 years, residing in three municipalities in Japan, who underwent tests in medical institutions between October 1 and December 30, 2022. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the odds of testing positive according to vaccination status. Vaccine effectiveness was defined as (1 − odds ratio) × 100%. Results A total of 3,908 positive and 16,090 negative results were included in the analyses. Receiving a bivalent dose in addition to ≥ 2 monovalent doses was 33.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.8, 44.3%) more effective than receiving no vaccination, and 18.2% (95% CI: 9.4, 26.0%) more effective than receiving ≥ 2 monovalent doses but not receiving a bivalent vaccination. In addition, the effectiveness peaked at 14–20 days after administration and then gradually declined over time. Furthermore, a bivalent booster dose provided 18.6% (95% CI: 9.9, 26.5%) additional protection among those vaccinated with ≥ 2 monovalent doses, in the absence of a previous infection history. However, we did not find sufficient evidence of effectiveness of bivalent vaccines among previously infected older adults. Conclusions Bivalent vaccines are effective against COVID-19 infections among older adults without a history of infection.

    BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an increase in conspiracy theories worldwide. However, in Japan, the prevalence of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs has remained unclear. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs using a survey of 28,175 residents of Japan aged 16-81 years old. METHODS: A cross-sectional self-administered survey was conducted from September to October 2021. To assess the number of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs, we used three questions from the Oxford Coronavirus Explanations, Attitudes, and Narratives Survey. Independent variables included general vaccine conspiracy beliefs, sociodemographic variables, information sources for COVID-19, trust in authorities, and fear of COVID-19. RESULTS: After applying sampling weights and imputation, the estimated prevalence of holding at least one COVID-19 conspiracy belief was 24.4%. From a linear regression model, several factors were independently associated with conspiracy beliefs. Notably, people with the lowest level of education (lower secondary school) endorsed fewer COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs (B -0.089, vs. upper secondary school). Furthermore, higher socioeconomic backgrounds-such as higher income, higher wealth, and regular employment-were associated with endorsing conspiracy beliefs. Only 37.3% of respondents trusted the government of Japan, but paradoxically, trust in the government was positively associated with conspiracy beliefs (B 0.175, vs. distrust). CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs can be prevalent in about a quarter of the residents of Japan. Certain groups are more likely to endorse conspiracy beliefs, and targeting interventions towards these groups might be efficient in stemming the spread of conspiracy beliefs.

    BACKGROUND: Secondary healthcare data use has been increasing in the dental research field. The validity of the number of remaining teeth assessed from Japanese dental claims data has been reported in several studies, but has not been tested in the general population in Japan. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the validity of the number of remaining teeth assessed from Japanese dental claims data and assess its predictability against subsequent health deterioration. METHODS: We used the claims data of residents of a municipality that implemented oral health screening programs. Using the number of teeth in the screening records as the reference standard, we assessed the validity of the claims-based number of teeth by calculating the mean differences. In addition, we assessed the association between the claims-based number of teeth and pneumococcal disease (PD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) in adults aged ≥65 years using Cox proportional hazards analyses. RESULTS: Of the 10,154 participants, the mean number of teeth assessed from the claims data was 20.9, that in the screening records was 20.5, and their mean difference was 0.5. During the 3-year follow-up, PD or AD onset was observed in 10.4% (3,212/30,838) and 5.3% (1,589/30,207) of participants, respectively. Compared with participants with ≥20 teeth, those with 1-9 teeth had a 1.29 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-1.43) or 1.19 (95% CI: 1.04-1.36) times higher risk of developing PD or AD, respectively. CONCLUSION: High validity of the claims-based number of teeth was observed. In addition, the claims-based number of teeth was associated with the risk of PD and AD.

    BACKGROUND: Bidirectional association between oral health, including tooth loss and oral hypofunction, and cognitive impairment can induce time-varying confounding in association with dementia. This study aimed to investigate the association between oral health and the development of dementia among older adults, considering cognitive impairment as a time-varying confounder. METHODS: This nine-year follow-up cohort study targeted independent older adults aged ≥65 years who participated in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. The exposure variables were self-reported poor oral health (≤19 remaining teeth, edentulousness, chewing difficulty, swallowing problems, and xerostomia), which were assessed in 2010 and 2013. The outcome variable was the incidence of dementia between 2013 and 2019, which was obtained from the municipalities' administrative database. Furthermore, in 2010 and 2013, we considered cognitive impairment as a time-varying confounder and treated it based on a marginal structural model (MSM), including possible baseline confounders. Oral health and cognitive impairment were assessed using the items of Kihon checklist. We employed a Cox proportional hazards model with a stabilized inverse probability weight and estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: Among 37,556 participants (mean age: 72.8 years [1 SD = 5.5], males: 46.8%), the dementia incidence rate was 2.2/100 person-year. The proportions of those with ≤19 remaining teeth, edentulousness, chewing difficulty, swallowing problems, and xerostomia were 61.3%, 11.0%, 24.4%, 14.7%, and 19.2%, respectively. From the regression analysis based on MSM, ≤19 remaining teeth (HR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.03-1.23), edentulousness (HR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.09-1.32), chewing difficulty (HR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.02-1.21), and xerostomia (HR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.01-1.20) were significantly associated with an increased risk of dementia; however, swallowing problems were not significantly associated with dementia onset (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Even after considering time-varying confounding by cognitive function at baseline and follow-up, we observed significant associations between poor oral health and increased risk of dementia among older adults.

    Laughter has a protective effect on human health. The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has changed opportunities for face-to-face communication and might decrease opportunities for laughter. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate whether the decrease in face-to-face communication during the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with a decrease in laughter. Additionally, we investigated whether an increase in online communication mitigates this association. Data from the "Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS)," conducted between August and September 2020, were used. Participants aged 15-79 years were included in this study. The outcome was a decrease in laughter before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The explanatory variables were decreased face-to-face communication with friends and increased online communication (text message, telephone, and video contact). Causal mediation analysis was used to calculate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of the controlled direct effects of increased online communication. Furthermore, the proportions eliminated (PEs) by an increase in online communication were calculated. Among the 25,482 participants, 40.4 % had decreased face-to-face communication and 21.4 % had a decreased frequency of laughter. After adjusting for confounders, a decrease in face-to-face communication was significantly associated with a decrease in laughter (PR = 1.62, 95 %CI = 1.55-1.70). PEs for decrease in laughter were 27.2 % (95 %CI = -2.0 to 56.4) for text-based communication, 36.1 % (95 %CI = 12.3-59.8) for telephone-based communication, and 28.6 % (95 %CI = 0.6-56.6) for video-based communication. Although a decrease in face-to-face communication was associated with a decrease in laughter during the COVID-19 pandemic, online communication, particularly telephone-based communication, mitigated this association.

    Oral health is essential for nutritional status; however, little is known about its association with weight change. This study aimed to investigate whether the risk of weight change differs according to the presence of each important component of oral hypofunction (fewer remaining teeth, low chewing efficiency, swallowing problems, and xerostomia) among independent older adults. This was a three-year follow-up cohort study based on self-reported questionnaires. The participants were independent older adults aged ≥65 from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES). We used >5% weight loss/gain during follow-up as the outcome variables, and the number of remaining teeth (≥20/10-19/0-9), the presence of chewing difficulty, swallowing problems, and xerostomia (yes/no) as the exposure variables. We fitted the Poisson regression model, including possible confounders to estimate the risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For weight loss, RRs were significantly higher among those with 0-9 remaining teeth (RR = 1.17; 95% CI = 1.11-1.23), chewing difficulty (RR = 1.12; 95% CI = 1.07-1.16), and xerostomia (RR = 1.11; 95% CI = 1.06-1.16), but there was no significant association with swallowing problems (RR = 1.01; 95% CI = 0.97-1.06). For weight gain, we also found similar associations with oral hypofunction. Oral hypofunction among older adults could have non-negligible health impacts on nutritional status.

    PURPOSE: Laughter is expected to have health-protective effects, but the potential link between tooth loss and laughter remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between tooth loss and a low frequency of laughter among older adults in Japan, to elucidate whether this association could be mitigated by dental prostheses, and to evaluate the magnitude of the association mediated by poor oral function. METHODS: We used cross-sectional data from 157,708 functionally independent participants aged ≥65 years (46.3% male) from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. A modified Poisson regression model was applied to examine the association between the number of remaining teeth (≥20/10-19/0-9), dental prostheses use, and infrequent laughter (i.e., laughing never or almost never). Causal mediation analysis was performed to assess whether the association was mediated by difficulties in eating hard foods, choking, or dry mouth. RESULTS: Among the participants, 9,129 reported infrequent laughter. Participants with ≤9 and 10-19 teeth who did not use dental prostheses had a 1.29 and 1.14 times higher likelihood of infrequent laughter than those with ≥20 teeth, respectively. Furthermore, difficulty eating hard foods, choking, and dry mouth mediated 22.8%, 0.4%, and 4.3% of the association between fewer remaining teeth and infrequent laughter, respectively. Meanwhile, we did not find evidence for the differences in infrequent laughter between participants with ≤19 teeth using dental prostheses and those with ≥20 teeth. CONCLUSIONS: Tooth loss among individuals without dental prostheses was associated with infrequent laughter, and this association was mediated by poor oral function.

    BACKGROUND: Poor diet can cause sleep disorders; however, this association has not been established in older populations. This study investigated the association between dietary patterns and insomnia symptoms in independent older adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study targeted independent older Japanese adults aged ≥74 years. We used insomnia symptoms classified into three domains: difficulty initiating sleep (DIS), difficulty maintaining sleep (DMS), and insomnia. These symptoms were assessed as dependent variables by a self-reported questionnaire. Dietary patterns (DP), identified by principal component analysis of a self-administered diet history questionnaire, were used as independent variables. Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals with adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS: Among 1,311 participants (mean age = 80.1; women, 48.5%), we identified three dietary patterns: DP1 was characterized by a high intake of vegetables, soy products, and fruits and a low intake of rice; DP2 was characterized by a high intake of fish, chicken, processed meat, and noodles and a low intake of soy products; and DP3 was characterized by a lower intake of fruits and confectionaries. Higher DP1 scores were significantly associated with a lower prevalence of DIS (p-for-trend = 0.012). A higher DP2 score was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of insomnia (p-for-trend = 0.032). There was no significant association between DP3 and insomnia symptoms (p-for-trend >0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results highlighted that a dietary pattern with a high intake of vegetables, soy products, and fruits may contribute to reducing insomnia symptoms among independent older adults.

    Abstract The signal intensities of CO2− radicals in teeth can be utilised as an individual indicator of the cumulative external dose for animals. To accurately determine the external dose, it is desirable to analyse the CO2− radical intensity and improve its detection limit. We recently reported a dose–response in the range of 0–200 mGy and estimated the absorbed dose for seven wild Japanese macaques captured in/around the related areas to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Herein, for further improvement of this method, we examined the electron spin resonance spectra of the teeth of these seven and an additional four macaques captured in Fukushima by applying two spectrum-decomposition algorithms.

    COVID-19 remains a global health threat. Compliance with nonpharmaceutical interventions is essential because of limited effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, emergence of highly contagious variants, and declining COVID-19 antibody titers over time. We evaluated compliance with 14 nonpharmaceutical intervention-related COVID-19 preventive behaviors, including mask wearing, ventilation, and surface sanitation, in a longitudinal study in Japan using 4 waves of Internet survey data obtained during 2020-2022. Compliance with most preventive behaviors increased or remained stable during the 2-year period, except for surface sanitation and going out behaviors; compliance with ventilation behavior substantially decreased in winter. Compliance patterns identified from latent class analysis showed that the number of persons in the low compliance class decreased, whereas those in the personal hygiene class increased. Our findings reflect the relaxation of mobility restriction policy in Japan, where the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Policymakers should consider behavioral changes caused by new policies to improve COVID-19 prevention strategies.

    BACKGROUND: Although the effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines is a crucial public health concern, evidence from Western Pacific countries is limited, including Japan. This study aimed to estimate the COVID-19 vaccines effectiveness (VE) against infection during the Delta variant predominance (July-September 2021) in Japan. METHODS: We performed a test-negative study using COVID-19 test data of ≥20-year-old residents in four municipalities who were tested in medical institutions between July 1 and September 30, 2021. We extracted COVID-19 test data from healthcare claims data, and the vaccination status at the testing date was ascertained using the Vaccination Record System data. Confirmed positive cases were identified using data from the national system for COVID-19, Health Center Real-time Information-sharing System on COVID-19. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the odds of testing positive according to vaccination status. VE was calculated as (1 - odds ratio) × 100%. RESULTS: This study included 530 positive and 15,650 negative results. Adjusted manufacturer-unspecified VE was 4.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], -36.5-32.6) at 0-13 days after the first dose, 45.2% (95% CI, 13.4-65.3) at ≥14 days after the first dose, 85.2% (95% CI, 69.9-92.7) at 0-13 days after the second dose, and 79.6% (95% CI, 72.6-84.8) at ≥14 days after the second dose. In addition, the VE after the second dose was highest at 14-34 days after the dose (VE, 89.1%; 95% CI, 80.5-93.9). CONCLUSIONS: High real-world effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, especially two doses, against infection during the Delta variant predominance in Japan was confirmed.

    BACKGROUND: Tooth loss is associated with reduced protein intake, which leads to sarcopenia and frailty in older adults. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the protective effect of dental prostheses on decreased protein intake in older adults with tooth loss. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was based on a self-reported questionnaire targeting older adults. Data were obtained from the Iwanuma Survey of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. We used % energy intake (%E) of total protein as the outcome and the use of dental prostheses and number of remaining teeth as explanatory variables. We estimated the controlled direct effects of tooth loss by fixing the use/non-use of dental prostheses based on a causal mediation analysis, including possible confounders. RESULTS: Among 2095 participants, the mean age was 81.1 years (1SD = 5.1), and 43.9% were men. The average protein intake was 17.4%E (1SD = 3.4) of the total energy intake. Among participants with ≥20, 10-19 and 0-9 remaining teeth, the average protein intake was 17.7%E, 17.2%E/17.4%E and 17.0%E/15.4%E (with/without a dental prosthesis), respectively. Compared to participants with ≥20 remaining teeth, those with 10-19 remaining teeth without a dental prosthesis did not have a significantly different total protein intake (p > .05). Among those with 0-9 remaining teeth without a dental prosthesis, total protein intake was significantly low (-2.31%, p < .001); however, the use of dental prostheses mitigated the association by 79.4% (p < .001). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that prosthodontic treatment could contribute to maintaining protein intake in older adults with severe tooth loss.

    OBJECTIVES: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the life course association between exposure to two household dysfunctions (father violence against mother and parental divorce) at childhood (≤18 years) with later number of remaining teeth (≥65 years) in functionally independent older Japanese population. This was the first study to investigate this research question in the Asian context. METHODS: The Japan Gerontological Evaluation study (JAGES) self-reported retrospective data gathered in 2013 was used (n = 21,604). Each household dysfunction was binary variable (Yes/No), while the five categories of the number of remaining teeth were ≥20, 10-19, 5-9, 1-4, and no teeth. Sex-stratified ordered logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) of having fewer teeth. The models were adjusted for age, economic adversity in childhood, educational attainment, comorbidities, and smoking status. RESULTS: Overall, 46.4% were men and a total of 1149 participants (5.3%) experienced household dysfunction at childhood [men = 642 (6.4%), women = 507 (4.4%)]. The regression models showed higher OR of having fewer teeth among men who experienced a household dysfunction [OR = 1.16; 95% Confidence interval (CI) = 1.00-1.36] than men who did not. This association was not observed among women [OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.79-1.13]. Similar magnitude and direction of the association was observed among men but not among women when the two components of household dysfunction were used separately and aggregately as exposure variables. CONCLUSION: An exposure to a household dysfunction at childhood was associated with having fewer teeth in later life among men but not among women.

    Oral conditions are a public health problem globally and stark oral health inequalities exist between and within countries. Yet, oral diseases are rarely considered as a health priority and evidence-informed policy generation is challenging. Science communication and health advocacy are critical in that respect. However, due to time limitations, research workload and other factors, academics are usually hindered from participating in such lengthy endeavours. Here, we make the case that 'science communication and health advocacy task forces' should be a priority at academic institutions. The two main duties of these task forces are knowledge transfer about the burden of oral conditions and patterns of inequalities, and their underlying social and commercial determinants, and advocacy and mediation between the stakeholders involved directly or indirectly in policy making. These interdisciplinary task forces, including both academics and non-academics, should collectively have skills that include (1) knowledge about oral health, dental public health and epidemiology, (2) ability to communicate clearly and coherently and make the case in both lay and scientific language terms, (3) familiarity with digital and social media platforms and ability to create visual aids, videos and documentaries, (4) good negotiation skills and (5) maintaining scientific transparency and avoiding getting involved in confrontation with political parties. In the current context, the role of the academic institutions should not only be the production of knowledge, but also the active transferability and application of this knowledge towards public benefit.

    BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the impacts of smoking cessation and resumption over 4 years on the risk of back pain at the 6-year follow-up among older adults in England. METHODS: We analysed 6467 men and women aged ≥50 years in the English Longitudinal Study of Aging. Self-reported smoking status, assessed in waves 4 (2008-2009) and 6 (2012-2013), was used as exposure for the study, whereas self-reported back pain of moderate or severe intensity, assessed in wave 7 (2014-2015), was used as the outcome. A targeted minimum loss-based estimator was used with longitudinal modified treatment policies to adjust for baseline and time-varying covariates. RESULTS: Regarding the estimation of the effects of changes in smoking status on the risk of back pain, during the follow-up, individuals who resumed smoking within 4 years had a higher risk of back pain than those who avoided smoking for over 4 years, and the relative risk (RR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 1.536 (1.214-1.942). Regarding the estimation of effects of smoking cessation on the risk of back pain, smoking cessation over 4 years was associated with a significantly lower risk of back pain, as indicated by the originally observed data, and the RR (95% CI) was 0.955 (0.912-0.999). CONCLUSIONS: Older adults who avoided smoking for over 4 years had a lower risk of back pain. However, those who resumed smoking within 4 years had a higher risk of back pain. SIGNIFICANCE: Older adults who avoided smoking for over 4 years had a lower risk of back pain. However, those who resumed smoking within 4 years had a higher risk of back pain. Our study data suggest the importance of maintaining smoking cessation to reduce the risk of back pain in the older population.

    Access to dental clinics is a feature of the neighborhood service environment that may influence oral health care utilization. However, residential selection poses a challenge to causal inference. By studying the involuntary relocation of survivors of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (GEJE), we examined the association between changes in geographic distance to dental clinics and dental visits. Longitudinal data from a cohort of older residents in Iwanuma City directly impacted by the GEJE were analyzed in this study. The baseline survey was conducted in 2010, 7 mo before the occurrence of GEJE, and a follow-up was conducted in 2016. Using Poisson regression models, we estimated the incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the uptake of denture use (as a proxy for dental visits) according to changes in distance from the nearest dental clinic to their house. Age at baseline, housing damage by the disaster, deteriorating economic conditions, and worsened physical activity were used as confounders. Among the 1,098 participants who had not worn dentures before the GEJE, 495 were men (45.1%), with a mean ± SD age at baseline of 74.0 ± 6.9 y. During the 6-year follow-up, 372 (33.9%) participants initiated denture use. Compared to those who experienced a large increase in distance to dental clinics (&gt;370.0–6,299.1 m), a large decrease in distance to dental clinics (&gt;429.0–5,382.6 m) was associated with a marginally significantly higher initiation of denture use among disaster survivors (IRR = 1.28; 95% CI, 0.99–1.66). The experience of major housing damage was independently associated with higher initiation of denture use (IRR = 1.77; 95% CI, 1.47−2.14). Improved geographic access to dental clinics may increase dental visits of disaster survivors. Further studies in non-disaster-affected areas are needed to generalize these findings.

    AIM: To examine the mediators between lower socio-economic status (SES) in adolescence and oral health at an older age to uncover the underlying mechanisms of the association. METHODS: Participants (n = 21 536) aged ≥65 years from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study were evaluated. The dependent variables were self-rated chewing difficulty and having ≤19 remaining teeth. The main independent variable was self-perceived SES in adolescence. The Karlson-Holm-Breen method was used for mediation analysis. RESULTS: Mean age of the participants was 74.8 years (standard deviation = 6.4), and 51.5% were female. Overall, 5598 (26.0%) participants reported chewing difficulty and 9404 (43.7%) had ≤19 remaining teeth. Lower SES in adolescence was associated with a higher prevalence of chewing difficulty (odds ratio [OR] = 1.38, 95%confidence interval [CI] = 1.29-1.48; total effect). After controlling for mediators, OR for lower SES in adolescence was 1.22 (95%CI = 1.13-1.30; direct effect) and 1.13 (95%CI = 1.11-1.16; indirect effect). Mediators, prominently the number of teeth and income, explained 39.3% of the associations. Lower SES in adolescence increased the odds of ≤19 remaining teeth by OR = 1.23 (95% CI = 1.16-1.31; total effect). After controlling for mediators, the OR for lower SES in adolescence was 1.03 (95%CI = 0.97-1.10; direct effect) and 1.19 (95%CI = 1.16-1.23; indirect effect). Mediators, prominently educational attainment, explained 85.0% of the associations. CONCLUSIONS: Lower SES in adolescence was associated with poor oral health at an older age through mediators. Approaches that consider social determinants from the beginning of the life course are required.

    OBJECTIVES: The association between toothbrushing and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections is unknown. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the change in time and frequency of toothbrushing is associated with having COVID-19 symptoms. METHODS: In this 8-month retrospective cohort study, we used the data from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS; N = 22,366), which was conducted between August and September 2020. The logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) of having the 3 main COVID-19 symptoms (high fever, cough, and taste and smell disorder). Confounders were age, sex, educational attainment, equivalised income level, self-rated health, health literacy, and living area. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 49 years (SD = ±17.3), and 49.2% were male. Overall 2704 (12.1%) participants changed (increased or decreased) the time and frequency of toothbrushing, whilst 19,662 (87.9%) did not change. Only 60 participants (0.3%) had the 3 main COVID-19 symptoms. All logistic regression models showed that those who had a change in time and frequency of toothbrushing had higher odds of having the 3 main COVID-19 symptoms compared to those who had unchanged time and frequency of toothbrushing. The ORs ranged from 6.00 (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.60-9.99) in the crude model to 4.08 (95% CI, 2.38-6.98) in the fully adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS: The change in time and frequency of toothbrushing from before to after the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with having the 3 main COVID-19 symptoms.

    INTRODUCTION: The population-attributable risk of oral status for incident functional disability remains unknown. We investigated the impact of a range of oral statuses (number of remaining teeth, chewing difficulty, dry mouth, and choking) on incident functional disability. METHODS: Participants (n = 44,083) aged ≥ 65 years from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study were evaluated. The outcome variable was incident functional disability, and the explanatory variables were four select oral statuses. The possible confounders were included as covariates. Using the Cox proportional hazards model, we calculated hazard ratios (HRs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and their population-attributable fractions (PAFs). RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 73.7 (standard deviation=6.0) years at baseline, and 53.2% were women. A total of 8,091 participants (18.4%) developed functional disabilities during the follow-up period. Among the four oral statuses, the incidence rate of functional disability was the highest in those with chewing difficulty (3.27/100 person-years), followed by those with dry mouth (3.20/100 person-years), choking (3.10/100 person-years), and ≤19 remaining teeth (2.89/100 person-years). After adjusting for all covariates, chewing difficulty showed the highest risk of functional disability (HR=1.22, 95%CI=1.16-1.28), followed by ≤19 remaining teeth (HR=1.18, 95%CI=1.12-1.25), dry mouth (HR=1.18, 95%CI=1.12-1.24), and choking (HR=1.10, 95%CI=1.04-1.17). Regarding PAF, ≤19 remaining teeth (12.0%) were the largest, followed by chewing difficulty (7.2%), dry mouth (4.6%), and choking (1.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Maintaining a good oral status may reduce the risk of functional disability later in life. Given its population contribution, tooth loss had the largest impact among the four oral conditions.

    OBJECTIVES: Oral health inequalities exist worldwide, and cross-country comparisons can provide valuable insights into country-level characteristics contributing to such inequalities. However, comparative studies in Asian countries are limited. This study examined the magnitude of education-related oral health inequalities in older adults in Singapore and Japan. METHODS: Longitudinal data for older adults, aged ≥65 years, from the Panel on Health and Ageing of Singaporean Elderly (PHASE; 2009, 2011-2012, and 2015) and Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES; 2010, 2013, and 2016) were used. Dependent variables were being edentate and having a minimal functional dentition (MFD; i.e. ≥20 teeth). The absolute and relative inequalities were calculated using the slope index of inequality (SII) and relative index of inequality (RII) for educational level [low (<6 years); middle (6-12 years); high (>12 years)] in each country. RESULTS: A total of 1032 PHASE participants and 35 717 JAGES participants were included. At baseline among PHASE participants, 35.9% were edentate and 24.4% had MFD, while among JAGES participants, 8.5% were edentate and 42.4% had MFD. The prevalence of low, middle and high educational levels for PHASE was 76.5%, 18.0% and 5.5%, and for JAGES were 0.9%, 78.1% and 19.7%, respectively. Older adults in Japan had lower education-related inequalities for being edentate [for both SII (-0.53, 95% CI = -0.55 to -0.50) and RII (0.40, 95% CI = 0.33-0.48)] and for not having MFD for both SII (-0.24, 95% CI = -0.27 to -0.20) and RII (0.83, 95% CI = 0.79-0.87) compared to Singapore. CONCLUSIONS: Education-related inequalities for being edentate and not having MFD were higher among older adults in Singapore compared to Japan.

    OBJECTIVES: Japan's universal health insurance covers a wide range of dental treatments, and the co-payment rates differ by age. We investigated whether the inequality in gingival bleeding and dental visits was smaller amongst those with lower co-payment rates. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2019 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. The participants were functionally independent adults aged 65 years or older. The dependent variables were current gingival bleeding as a symptom of periodontal diseases and dental nonattendance for treatment in the past year. The independent variables were ridit scores of equivalent income and educational status. For covariates, we used age, sex, and the number of remaining teeth. To evaluate the inequalities, we used the slope index of inequality (SII) and the relative index of inequality (RII). We also conducted stratified analyses by co-payment rates (30%, 20%, and 10%) to clarify the difference in inequalities by co-payment rate. RESULTS: A total of 15,389 participants were included in the analysis; their mean age was 71.8 (SD = 4.1) and 51.8% were women. There were significant absolute and relative inequalities in gingival bleeding and dental visits by equivalent income and education. With regards to educational status, inequalities were lower with a decrease in the co-payment rate. In particular, relative inequality by education in gingival bleeding was the largest amongst the 30% co-payment group (RII, 1.918; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.386 to 2.656). For gingival bleeding, the absolute and relative inequality by equivalent income were not significant amongst the 10% co-payment group (SII, -0.003; 95% CI, -0.003 to 0.028; RII, 1.006; 95% CI = 0.676 to 1.498). CONCLUSIONS: A low co-payment rate was associated with smaller inequalities in gingival bleeding and dental visits by equivalent income and educational status.

    PURPOSE: Measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in various health conditions in different countries is important given the regional differences. This study employed large-scale nationwide data targeting older adults in Japan to estimate the HRQOL in the key health conditions that are the major causes of disability. METHODS: Our data were derived from two survey waves (2016 and 2019 surveys) of cross-sectional data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study, an ongoing nationwide study targeting functionally independent older adults in Japan. A total of 28,345 individuals from 27 of the 47 Japanese provinces were analyzed. The EuroQoL 5-dimension 5-level instrument (EQ-5D-5L) was employed to assess the HRQOL utility scores. The targeted minimum loss-based estimator with sampling weighting methods was applied to estimate the utility score in eight major health conditions, including sensory organ disease, musculoskeletal disease, oral disorders, and depressive disorders. RESULTS: The estimated HRQOL utility score for those with the poorest health conditions in self-rated health, hearing loss, vision loss, number of remaining teeth (e.g., no teeth with no denture use), oral dysfunction, depressive symptoms, chronic low back pain, and chronic knee pain was 0.576 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.555-0.598), 0.768 (95% CI 0.737-0.800), 0.680 (95% CI 0.662-0.699), 0.809 (95% CI 0.796-0.821), 0.776 (95% CI 0.764-0.788), 0.723 (95% CI 0.710-0.737), 0.715 (95% CI 0.690-0.739), and 0.742 (95% CI 0.722-0.763), respectively. CONCLUSION: We successfully provided a catalog for the HRQOL utility score in key health conditions that are the leading causes of disability among older adults.

    High free sugar intake is associated with an increased risk of various non-communicable diseases. We aimed to systematically review articles investigating the association between free sugar intake and periodontal diseases. This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines and was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022337828). We obtained articles from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus in April 2022. The study selection was performed according to predefined eligibility criteria based on the following PECOS: (P) general population, (E/C) free-sugar-containing food/beverage intake, (O) clinically measured periodontal diseases, and (S) observational study and clinical trial. Of the 839 screened records, 13 studies were included in the review. Most studies (n = 12) had a cross-sectional design. The age groups in the included studies were children/adolescents (n = 5) and adults (n = 8). Among the included studies, 11 reported a significant association between the frequent intake of free-sugar-containing food or beverages and a higher prevalence or incidence of periodontal diseases. The quality of most of the included studies was scored "fair" based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Although the majority of the included studies reported a significant positive association between high free sugar intake and periodontal diseases, the evidence is considered to be limited due to the study designs.

    This study aimed to examine the associations of increases in the duration of education with back pain using the exogenous variation generated by the English schooling reforms of 1947 and 1972. We analyzed cross-sectional data derived from nine waves (waves 1-9; 2002-2019) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. An instrumental variables regression using two-stage least squares with the two-way cluster-robust standard error was used. The mean severity of back pain, measured using the Numerical Rating Scale, was used as the outcome. A total of 22,868 observations from 5,070 participants were included (the 1947 reform = 16,565 observations from 3,231 participants, mean age = 74.5; the 1972 reform = 6,303 observations from 1,839 participants, mean age = 59.3). The schooling reforms significantly extended years of school attendance by a mean of 0.57 years for the 1942 reform cohort and 0.66 years for 1972 reform cohort. For participants born within ±5 years of the pivotal cohorts, an additional year of education decreased the severity of back pain by 0.78 points (95% confidence interval, 0.65-0.92) for the 1972 reform cohort. Our finding underscores the importance of the length of education in the reduction of back pain in middle-aged individuals.

    BACKGROUND: No clear evidence exists regarding the effects of the different periods and magnitude of spread of the COVID-19 infection on cancer treatments. This study investigated the effects of the different periods and magnitude of COVID-19 infection spread on in-hospital cancer operations. METHODS: Medical claims data from 17 hospitals where in-hospital operations for patients with malignant neoplasms were performed between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2021 in Yamagata were extracted and analyzed. The critical time points as exposure used to evaluate the impact of different COVID-19 infection spread periods on cancer operations were (1) April 2020 (emergency declaration introduced by the government) and (2) December 2020 (the second wave). From April to November 2020 and December 2020 to March 21, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases was 130 and 840, respectively. The 17 hospitals were classified into intervention or control groups based on whether in-hospital treatments for patients with COVID-19 were provided. RESULTS: The interrupted time series analysis reported that the difference in the trend of pre-COVID-19 and postsecond wave (March 2020 to December 2020) periods was statistically significant between groups, with 50.67 fewer operations (95% confidence interval [CI] = 12.19-89.15) performed per month in the intervention group compared with the control group. Moreover, the immediate change in the number of operations in April 2020 (beginning of the first wave) was statistically significant between groups, with 80.14 operations (95% CI = 39.62-120.67) less immediately after the first wave in the intervention group compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that a statement of emergency by the government and the COVID-19 infection spread are both associated with the number of cancer operations performed in the Yamagata prefecture during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    BACKGROUND: The relationship between obesity and back pain in older populations is poorly understood. This study aimed to examine (a) the impacts of changes in obesity status on back pain risk and (b) the heterogeneity in the influence of changes in obesity status according to muscle strength. METHODS: We analyzed 6 868 participants in waves 4 (2008-2009), 6 (2012-2013), and 7 (2014-2015) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. The exposure comprised continuous body mass index (BMI) values, whereas the outcome comprised self-reported moderate or severe back pain. The targeted minimum loss-based estimator was used to estimate the impacts of hypothetical changes in BMI in each wave under 10 scenarios encompassing a 5%-25% hypothetical reduction/increase in BMI. We also performed stratified analysis using handgrip strength at the baseline. RESULTS: For the hypothetical reduction scenarios, a 10% (relative risk [RR]; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.82 [0.73-0.92], p = .001) reduction in BMI estimated a significantly lower back pain risk compared to the observed data. For the hypothetical increase scenarios, a 5% (RR [95% CI] = 1.11 [1.04-1.19], p = .002) increase in BMI estimated a significantly higher back pain risk. Increased BMI had a higher risk of back pain among those with weak strength when stratified by handgrip strength but not among those with strong strength. CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed that weight gain leads to a greater risk of back pain as well as heterogeneity in the influence of changes in obesity status according to the handgrip strength.

    In 2021, the World Health Organization included silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as an essential medicine to manage caries in adults and children. SDF was developed in the 1960s, but its use for children became unpopular in Japan because of the decline and low prevalence of early childhood caries. This mixed methods study explored the knowledge, practices and attitudes towards SDF therapy among dentists promoting fluoride use in Japan. It also investigated senior dentists' perceptions of SDF therapy in Japan. The quantitative study invited all 173 members of the largest organisation promoting fluoride use in Japan to complete a web-based questionnaire survey. Sixty (60/173; 35%) dentists promoting fluoride use in Japan completed the questionnaire survey. All dentists knew of SDF treatment, and 50 (50/60; 83%) used SDF for dental care. Fifty-nine dentists (59/60; 98%) agreed that SDF therapy was simple and quick. All 60 dentists agreed that SDF was effective to arrest caries; 51 dentists (51/60; 85%) agreed that SDF was effective to prevent caries. Most dentists (51/60; 85%) were concerned about SDF's unaesthetic staining. Fifty-seven dentists (57/60; 95%) used SDF to arrest primary posterior teeth, and 52 dentists (52/60; 87%) used SDF to arrest root caries. However, 25 dentists (25/60; 42%) did not use SDF to prevent caries in permanent teeth. The qualitative study interviewed 12 senior dentists using snowball sampling and achieved data saturation. The dentists opined that SDF therapy was effective, simple, painless, non-invasive and inexpensive. SDF is seldom used in Japan at present because of the unaesthetic black staining and the low prevalence of early childhood caries; however, it can regain popularity by arresting root caries in the aging population.

    Abstract Electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry is one of the most powerful tools for radiation dose reconstruction. The detection limit of this technique using human teeth is reported to be 56 mGy or 67 mGy; however, the absorbed dose of Fukushima residents after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) accident was estimated to be lower than this detection limit. Our aim is to assess the absorbed radiation dose of children in Fukushima Prefecture after the accident; therefore, it is important to estimate the detection limit for their teeth. The detection limit for enamel of deciduous teeth of Japanese children separated by the mechanical method is estimated to be 115.0 mGy. The density separation method can effectively separate enamel from third molars of Japanese people. As we have collected thousands of teeth from children in Fukushima, the present technique may be useful to examine their external absorbed dose after the FNPP accident.

    OBJECTIVES: Studies suggest that wearing dentures to restore missing teeth can have a positive impact on health status. However, income inequalities in denture wearing exist. The aim of this study was to investigate how differing co-payment rates under the current Japanese Universal Health Insurance Coverage System affect income inequalities in denture non-use among older adults with severe tooth loss. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2019 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES). Self-administered questionnaires were mailed to 345 356 independent people who did not receive long-term care insurance benefits and were aged ≥65 years. The dependent variable was denture non-use, and the independent variable was the equivalent annual household income. The Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Relative Index of Inequality (RII) were used with regression-based approaches to determine both absolute and relative inequalities in denture non-use by co-payment rates. The covariates were sex, age, years of education, number of teeth and comorbidities. RESULTS: Of the 240 889 responses received (response rate =69.9%), we analysed 21 594 participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 72.8 years (standard deviation =4.1), and 57.6% were men. For 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent co-payment rates, the percentages of people who did not use dentures and had severe tooth loss (≤9 teeth) were 18.3%, 13.3%, and 8.5%, respectively. All analyses confirmed significant inequalities in denture non-use. The lower the co-payment rate, the smaller the inequalities. SIIs for each co-payment rate were as follows: 30 per cent =13.35% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 9.61-17.09); 20 per cent =7.85% (95% CI = 4.88-10.81); and 10 per cent =4.85% (95% CI = 2.55-7.16). Inclusion of interaction term between income and co-payment rate significantly lowered the inequalities by co-payment rate in logistic regression analysis and SII. For RII, although the interaction was not statistically significant, a similar trend was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Income inequalities in denture use existed among older adults with severe tooth loss in Japan, and the inequalities appeared to be greater when the co-payment rate was higher.

    AIM: This study examined the effects of a "community-based center" intervention to prevent the onset of functional disability among residents in disaster-affected areas. METHODS: We used data from a prospective cohort study conducted from 2010 to 2016 in Iwanuma City, Japan. Participants were community-dwelling independent adults aged ≥65 years. The exposure variable was the experience of using a community-based center. The outcome variable was functional disability onset. The average treatment effect on the treated (ATET) was estimated by adjusting for possible confounders. Additional analysis stratified by sex was conducted considering the sex differences in social participation rates. RESULTS: Among 3794 participants (mean ± SD age = 72.9 ±5.3 years, 46.0% men), 196 (5.2%) used the community-based center, and 849 (22.4%) exhibited disability onset. Of those with functional disabilities, 40 (20.4%) used the community-based center, while 809 (22.5%) did not. The ATET for functional disability onset with community-based center activities across all participants were not significant (ATET: 0.51 years [95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.23; 1.27]). However, the direction of the effect of community-based center activities differed by sex (ATET: -0.14, 95% CI = -2.59; 2.31 for men [n = 18], and 0.66, 95% CI = 0.18; 1.16 for women [n = 178]). Women exhibited a 15.63% (95% CI = 3.58; 27.68) increase in the time until functional disability onset. CONCLUSIONS: The use of community-based centers was associated with a longer period without functional disability in women. Geriatr Gerontol Int ••; ••: ••-•• Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; ••: ••-••.

    STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Little is known about the association between the number of teeth and self-rated happiness or the association between dental prosthesis use and self-rated happiness in an older population. PURPOSE: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between the number remaining of teeth with and without dental prosthesis use and self-rated happiness in an older population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The survey data from the 2016 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) on independent participants aged 65 years or older were assessed. The Poisson regression and multiple imputation methods were used for analyses. Covariates were age, sex, marital status, educational attainment, self-rated health, self-rated economic situation, and symptoms of depression. RESULTS: The data from 178 090 participants, 81 489 men (45.8%) and 96 601 women (54.2%), were analyzed, with a mean ±standard deviation age of 73.6 ±6.1 years. Overall, 66.4% of the participants were happy, declining to 45.7% in those who had 0 to 9 teeth and no dental prosthesis (n=3102). It was 61.5% in those who had 0 to 9 teeth and used a dental prosthesis (n=41 424), 56.8% in those who had 10 to 19 teeth and no dental prosthesis (n=6719), 65% in those who had 10 to 19 teeth and used a dental prosthesis (n=31 592), 70.5% in those who had ≥20 teeth and no dental prosthesis (n=52 525), and 70.1% in those who had ≥20 teeth and used a dental prosthesis (n=42 728). The interaction analysis showed that the reduction in the probability of being happy among those with fewer teeth was smaller among those who used a dental prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS: Having a higher number of teeth and using a dental prosthesis were independently associated with being happy. A significant interaction suggested that dental prosthesis use improves happiness among those with moderate to severe tooth loss (<20 remaining teeth).

    OBJECTIVES: Social isolation was associated with increased mortality and numerous adverse health outcomes. However, the longitudinal association between oral health and social isolation has not been studied. In this longitudinal prospective cohort study, the association between the number of remaining teeth and dental prosthesis use with social isolation after 6-years follow-up was examined. METHODS: Functionally independent adults aged 65 years or older, who were not socially isolated in 2010, were followed up until 2016 in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. Data from 26 417 participants were analysed after random forest imputation to address missing data. Logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) for incident social isolation in 2016 after adjusting for age, sex, educational attainment, income, activities of daily living, living area and having depressive symptoms. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants at baseline was 72.3 (SD = 5.0). A total of 1,127 (4.3%) participants were socially isolated at follow-up. Of these, 338 (3.2%) had ≥20 teeth (with or without using dental prosthesis), 171 (3.9%) had 10-19 teeth and used dental prosthesis, 112 (4.2%) had 10-19 teeth and did not use the dental prosthesis, 338 (5.1%) had 0-9 teeth and used dental prosthesis, and 168 (7.6%) had 0-9 teeth and did not use the dental prosthesis. Fully adjusted logistic regression models showed that the OR of incident social isolation was higher for those with fewer teeth; OR = 1.13 (95%CI = 0.96-1.33) for those with 10-19 teeth and OR = 1.36 (95%CI = 1.17-1.58) for those with 0-9 teeth, compared to those with ≥20 teeth. The OR of incident social isolation was lower for those who used a dental prosthesis [OR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.80-1.02)] compared to those who did not use a dental prosthesis. The interaction between the number of teeth and dental prosthesis use demonstrated that the latter mitigated the incidence of social isolation for participants with tooth loss. Compared to those with ≥20 teeth (with or without prosthesis use), participants with 0-9 teeth that did not use a dental prosthesis were 79% [OR = 1.79, 95%CI = 1.49-2.19] more likely to be socially isolated, whereas participants with 0-9 teeth that used a dental prosthesis were only 23% [OR = 1.23, 95%CI = 1.05-1.45] more likely to be socially isolated. CONCLUSION: Tooth loss was the main predictor for social isolation at follow-up, while no dental prostheses use was an additional risk factor. Dental prosthesis use may reduce the risk of social isolation especially in those with severe tooth loss.

    The influence of different types of information sources on individual preventive behaviors remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations between individual information usage to obtain information about COVID-19 and compliance with preventive behaviors. This longitudinal study was based on an Internet survey conducted in August-September 2020 and February 2021. We used compliance with four preventive behaviors for COVID-19, "wearing a mask", "ventilation", "social distancing", and "avoiding crowds" as outcome variables, and 20 types of information sources based on people or institutions (Medical worker, Government, etc.) and media (TV news, Twitter, etc.) as predictors. Absolute differences and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using generalized estimating equations adjusted for possible confounders. Among the 18,151 participants aged 20-79, the mean age was 51.7 (SD = 15.9) in 2020, and 51.3% were male. In total, compliance with "wearing a mask", "ventilation", "social distancing", and "avoiding crowds" was seen in 86.2%, 46.9%, 45.4%, and 62.6% of individuals in 2020, and 89.3%, 38.2%, 47.2%, and 61.6% of individuals in 2021, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, "medical workers", "professionals", "the government", "Twitter", "news websites", and "TV news" were positively associated with compliance with two or more preventive behaviors (p &lt; 0.05). The type of information source may play an important role in providing information for COVID-19 prevention.

    Few studies have examined whether maintaining moderate or vigorous physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of low back pain in older people. This study aimed to examine the magnitude of the associations of changes in PA on the risk of low back pain at 4 years of follow-up. We analyzed 4,882 participants in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing who were initially free from low back pain (mean age, 65.6 ± 8.9 years at baseline). Self-reported PA, which was assessed at wave 6 (2012-2013) and wave 7 (2014-2015), was used as the exposure. The PA of the respondents was categorized into "no PA at all," "up to moderate PA," and "up to vigorous PA" groups. Self-reported moderate/severe low back pain assessed at 4 years of follow-up (2016-2017) was used as the outcome. Maintaining moderate (relative risk [RR], 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36-0.99) or vigorous (RR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.27-0.77) PA at least 1-3 times a month was negatively associated with prevalence of low back pain compared with no PA at all. Interventions for maintaining either moderate or vigorous PA might be beneficial in preventing the incidence of low back pain in the older population. PERSPECTIVE: This study examined the magnitude of the association between changes in physical activity over time and the risk of low back pain. The findings suggest that encouraging people to maintain at least moderate physical activity over 2 years is useful for reducing the risk of low back pain at 4 years of follow-up.

    OBJECTIVE: the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the frequency of eating together and the risk of weight loss in older adults. METHODS: this was a three-year follow-up prospective cohort study based on a self-reported questionnaire. We used data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) conducted in 2016 and 2019. The participants were independent older adults aged ≥65 years in Japan. We used >5% weight loss during follow-up as the outcome variable and frequency of eating together as the explanatory variable. The relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated based on the Poisson regression model with a Huber-White sandwich estimator for standard errors, including possible confounders. RESULTS: among 56,919 participants, the mean age was 73.0 years (1SD = 5.5) at baseline, and 47.9% were male. About 15.1% (n = 8,596) of the participants experienced >5% weight loss during follow-up. The proportion of each category of the eating together frequency was 36.6% for 'every day', 10.3% for 'several times a week', 26.8% for 'several times a month', 20.5% for 'several times a year' and 5.8% for 'seldom'. Compared to 'every day', only 'several times a year (RR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.01-1.13)' and 'seldom (RR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.08-1.27)' were significantly associated with the increased risk of >5% weight loss. CONCLUSION: there is a temporal association between less frequent opportunities to eat together and the increased risk of weight loss among independent older adults.

    BACKGROUND: Oral diseases are preventable and modifiable, but highly prevalent, and cause worse oral status. Particularly, tooth loss has increased in aging societies. However, studies on population-attributable risks of modifiable risk factors for mortality have neglected oral status. This study aimed to investigate the impact of modifiable risk factors on mortality, including oral status. METHODS: This cohort study used the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) data, including participants aged ≥65 years. The outcome was death between August 2010 to March 2017. We calculated the hazard ratios (HRs) and population attributable fraction (PAF) of modifiable risk factors (oral status, hypertension, depression, heart disease, diabetes, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol drinking history) for mortality. RESULTS: Analyses included 24,175 men and 27,888 women (mean age: 73.8 [6.0] and 74.2 [6.1], respectively). In men, after adjusting for covariates, having no teeth showed the highest hazard ratio (hazard ratio [HR]=1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.51-1.86) among the modifiable risk factors, and the PAF for the number of teeth (18.2%) was the second largest following age. In women, having no teeth had the third largest HR (HR=1.37, 95%CI=1.19-1.56) following current and former smoking. The PAF for the number of teeth (8.5%) was the sixth largest, which was larger than that of smoking status (4.8%). CONCLUSIONS: In the older population, the HR and PAF of the number of teeth on mortality were sufficiently large compared with other modifiable risk factors, especially in men. Therefore, maintaining good oral status should be included more in global health policies.

    BACKGROUND: Adverse health effects resulting from falls are a major public health concern. Although studies have identified risk factors for falls, none have examined long-term prediction of fall risk. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that there are additional risk factors, such as psychosocial factors. OBJECTIVE: In this 3-year longitudinal study, we evaluated a predictive model for risk of fall among community-dwelling older adults using machine learning methods. DESIGN: A 3-year follow-up prospective longitudinal study (from 2010 to 2013). SETTING: Twenty-four municipalities in nine of the 47 prefectures (provinces) of Japan. PARTICIPANTS: Community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years who were functionally independent at baseline (n = 61,883). METHODS: The baseline survey was conducted from August 2010 to January 2012, and the follow-up survey was conducted from October to December 2013. Both surveys were conducted involving self-reported questionnaires. The measured outcome at the follow-up survey was self-reported multiple falls during the previous year. The 142 variables included in the baseline survey were regarded as candidate predictors. The random-forest-based Boruta algorithm was used to select predictors, and the eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithm with 10 repetitions of nested k-fold cross-validation was used for modeling and model evaluation. Furthermore, we used shapley additive explanations to gain insight into the behavior of the prediction model. KEY RESULTS: Fourteen out of 142 candidate features were selected as predictors. Among these predictors, experience of falling as of the baseline survey was the most important feature, followed by self-rated health and age. Moreover, sense of coherence was newly identified as a risk factor for falls. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that machine learning tools can be adapted to explore new associative factors, make accurate predictions, and provide actionable insights for fall prevention strategies.

    Eating alone is reported to deteriorate health; however, the relationship between eating alone and poor dental health remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between poor dental health and eating alone. Data of participants (n = 156,287) aged ≥65 years from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study were evaluated using logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between dental status, including prosthesis use, and eating status. Differences in these associations according to living status were also examined. The mean age of participants was 73.7 (SD = 6.0) years. The percentages of participants eating alone with 20 or more teeth, 10-19 teeth with dental prostheses, 0-9 teeth with dental prostheses, 10-19 teeth without dental prostheses, and 0-9 teeth without dental prostheses were 13.8%, 16.0%, 18.6%, 18.9%, and 27.0%, respectively. After adjusting for covariates, participants with 0-9 teeth without any dental prosthesis showed a significantly higher odds ratio for eating alone (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.58-2.07) than those with 20 or more teeth. Among participants with poorer dental status, the probability of eating alone was higher in those living alone than in those living with others. Among older adults, poor dental status was significantly associated with eating alone, and this association was stronger among those living alone. Maintaining better dental status by using a dental prosthesis might reduce the risk of eating alone, especially for those living alone.

    Prevalence of tooth loss has increased due to population aging. Tooth loss negatively affects the overall physical and social well-being of older adults. Understanding the role of socio-demographic and other predictors associated with tooth loss that are measured in non-clinical settings can be useful in community-level prevention. We used high-dimensional epidemiological data to investigate important factors in predicting tooth loss among older adults over a 6-year period of follow-up. Data was from participants of 2010 and 2016 waves of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES). A total of 19,407 community-dwelling functionally independent older adults aged 65 and older were included in the analysis. Tooth loss was measured as moving from a higher number of teeth category at the baseline to a lower number of teeth category at the follow-up. Out of 119 potential predictors, age, sex, number of teeth, denture use, chewing difficulty, household income, employment, education, smoking, fruit and vegetable consumption, community participation, time since last health check-up, having a hobby, and feeling worthless were selected using Boruta algorithm. Within the 6-year follow-up, 3013 individuals (15.5%) reported incidence of tooth loss. People who experienced tooth loss were older (72.9 ± 5.2 vs 71.8 ± 4.7), and predominantly men (18.3% vs 13.1%). Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) machine learning prediction model had a mean accuracy of 90.5% (±0.9%). A visual analysis of machine learning predictions revealed that the prediction of tooth loss was mainly driven by demographic (older age), baseline oral health (having 10-19 teeth, wearing dentures), and socioeconomic (lower household income, manual occupations) variables. Predictors related to wide a range of determinants contribute towards tooth loss among older adults. In addition to oral health related and demographic factors, socioeconomic factors were important in predicting future tooth loss. Understanding the behaviour of these predictors can thus be useful in developing prevention strategies for tooth loss among older adults.

    <title>Abstract</title>The Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) accident in March of 2011 released substantial amounts of radionuclides into the environment. We collected 4,957 deciduous teeth formed in children before the Fukushima accident to obtain precise control data for teeth formed after the accident. Radioactivity was measured using imaging plates (IP) and epidemiologically assessed using multivariate regression analysis. Additionally, we measured 90Sr, 137Cs, and natural radionuclides which might be present in teeth. Epidemiological studies of IP showed that the amount of radioactivity in teeth from Fukushima prefecture was similar to that from reference prefectures. We found that artificial radionuclides of 90Sr and 137Cs, which were believed to have originated from past nuclear disasters, and natural radionuclides including 40 K and daughter nuclides in the 238U and 232Th series contributed to the generation of radioactivity in teeth. We also found no evidence to suggest that radionuclides originating from the FNPP accident significantly contaminated pre-existing teeth. This is the first large-scale investigation of radioactivity and radionuclides in teeth. The present findings will be indispensable for future studies of teeth formed after the FNPP accident, which will fall out over the next several years and might be more contaminated with radionuclides.

    OBJECTIVES: Little is known about the association between oral status and homebound status, and there is a possibility of a bidirectional relationship between them. In this exploratory prospective cohort study, we examined the association between four oral status measurements and being homebound bidirectionally. METHODS: We used 2010-2016 panel data gathered from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. All functionally independent participants aged 65 years or older (n = 26,579) were included in this study. Multiple imputation and Poisson regression were used for analyses. We adjusted for age, sex, education, comorbidity, and depressive symptoms. RESULTS: In the fully adjusted model, the prevalence ratio (PR) of being homebound at follow-up was 1.42 for having <20 remaining teeth, 1.28 for having chewing difficulty, 0.99 for having choking experience, and 0.94 for having dry mouth at baseline. Reversely, being homebound at baseline predicted having chewing difficulty at follow-up (PR = 1.17), while no significant association was demonstrated with having <20 teeth (PR = 1.00), choking experience (PR = 1.06), and dry mouth (PR = 1.02). CONCLUSION: Chewing difficulty and having <20 remaining teeth predicted homebound status after 6 years. Reversely, homebound status at baseline only predicted having chewing difficulty at follow-up. These findings may help to determine the oral frailty assessment measures for older people.

    To deal with the risk of emerging diseases with many unknowns, close and timely collaboration and communication between science experts and policymakers are crucial to developing and implementing an effective science-based intervention strategy. The Expert Meeting, an ad hoc medical advisory body, was established in February 2020 to advise Japan's COVID-19 Response Headquarters. The group played an important role in the policymaking process, promoting timely situation awareness and developing science-based proposals on interventions that were promptly reflected in government actions. However, this expert group may have been overly proactive in taking on the government's role in crisis management. For the next stage of managing the coronavirus disease pandemic and future pandemics, the respective roles of the government and its advisory bodies need to be clearly defined. Leadership and strategic risk communication by the government are key.

    OBJECTIVES: Weight loss is a critical health issue in older adults. Oral function is essential for nutrient intake and can be restored using dental prosthetic treatments in patients with tooth loss. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between tooth loss and weight loss among the older adults and to evaluate the magnitude of its risk reduction by dental prosthetic treatment. DESIGN: Three-year follow-up longitudinal study based on a self-reported questionnaire. SETTING: Community-dwelling older adults in Japan. PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 65 and older (n = 53,690). MEASUREMENTS: We used >10% weight loss during follow-up, the number of remaining teeth, and the use of dental prostheses as the outcome variable, exposure variable, and mediator, respectively. We fitted the logistic regression model including possible confounders and calculated the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of the controlled direct effect (CDE) at the level of use or nonuse of the dental prosthesis based on a causal mediation analysis framework. Additionally, we calculated the proportion eliminated by the dental prosthesis. RESULTS: The mean age of participants was 72.6 years (1 SD = 5.5), and 47.4% were males. About 5.8% (n = 3132) of them experienced >10% weight loss during the follow-up. Weight loss was observed in 6.8% of the participants with 0-19 remaining teeth and in 4.3% of them with ≥20 remaining teeth. The CDE of 0-19 remaining teeth was greater when no one used dental prosthesis (OR = 1.41; 95% CI = 1.26-1.59) compared with that when all participants used dental prosthesis (OR = 1.26; 95% CI = 1.08-1.46). This indicated that dental prosthesis decreased the risk of weight loss by 37.3%. CONCLUSION: Our study revealed that tooth loss increased the risk of clinically critical levels of weight loss among community-dwelling older adults. However, this risk was reduced by dental prosthetic treatment.

    In Western countries, the most important part of the face in communication is the mouth, whereas it is the eyes in Asian countries; thus oral health could be more important in social interactions in Western countries. Our aim was to examine differences in the association between oral health status and social isolation among older people by comparing Japan and England. We used cross-sectional information obtained from adults aged 65+ in two ongoing prospective cohort studies: The Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES, N = 120,195) and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA, N = 3,958). The dependent variable, social isolation score (SIS) was calculated from five factors (marital status, social support from children, social support from family, social support from friends, and social participation). The independent variables were self-reported number of remaining teeth (0, 1-9, 10-19, ≥20) and denture use (≥20 teeth, 10-19 teeth with denture, 10-19 teeth without denture, 0-9 teeth with denture, 0-9 teeth without denture), while the covariates in the model were: sex, age, educational attainment, self-rated health, number of comorbidities, household annual equivalized income, mental health status, daily living activities, and smoking status. We examined associations between oral health status and SIS by applying an ordered logit model by country. Compared to England, more Japanese participants were socially isolated (1.4% vs. 5.8%), but fewer were edentulous (13.1% vs. 7.7%). In both countries, poorer oral health further increased the odds of being socially isolated. Pooled analysis of the ordered logit model with an interaction term showed that the association of number of remaining teeth with SIS was stronger in edentulous participants and in England (odds ratio = 1.50, 95% Confidence interval:1.26-1.80). In both countries, oral health was associated with social isolation; this association could be stronger in England than in Japan.

    BACKGROUND: Difficulties in communication due to vision, hearing and tooth loss have a serious impact on health. We compared the association between and attribution of each of these factors on social interaction. METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined data from the 2016 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (n=22 295) on community-dwelling people aged ≥65 years in Japan. The dependent variable was the frequency of meeting friends as a measure of social interaction, and less-than-monthly was defined as fewer social interactions. The independent variables were self-reported degrees of vision, hearing (5-point Likert scale) and tooth loss (five categories), with 'poor' or '0 teeth' defined as the worst category. Sex, age, educational attainment, comorbidity and residential area were used as covariates. Poisson regression analysis with multiple imputations was used to estimate the prevalence ratios (PRs) of fewer social interactions by each status. Subsequently, the population attributable fraction (PAF) was calculated to assess the public health impact. RESULTS: The number of participants with fewer social interactions was 5622 (26.9%). Proportions of fewer social interactions among those with the worst vision, hearing and number of teeth categories were 48.7%, 40.1% and 32.0%, respectively. Their corresponding PRs of fewer social interactions were 1.72 (95% CI 0.97 to 3.05), 1.35 (95% CI 0.99 to 1.85) and 1.23 (95% CI 1.10 to 1.37), respectively. The total PAF for vision, hearing and number of teeth was 8.3%, 5.0% and 6.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Self-reported vision, hearing and tooth loss were associated with fewer social interactions. The magnitude of these impairments was largest in vision, followed by tooth and hearing loss.

    AIM: Existing evidence links social isolation with poor health. To examine differences in the mortality risk by social isolation, and in socio-economic correlates of social isolation, we analyzed large-scale cohort studies in Japan and England. METHODS: Participants were drawn from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). We analyzed the 10-year mortality among 15 313 JAGES participants and 5124 ELSA respondents. Social isolation was measured by two scales, i.e., scoring the frequency of contact with close ties, and a composite measurement of social isolation risk. We calculated the population attributable fraction, and Cox regression models with multiple imputations were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality due to social isolation. RESULTS: The proportion of those with contact frequency of less than once a month was 8.5% in JAGES and 1.3% in ELSA. Males, older people, those with poor self-rated health, and unmarried people were significantly associated with social isolation in both countries. Both scales showed that social isolation among older adults had a remarkably higher risk for premature death (less frequent contact with others in JAGES: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.33, in ELSA: HR = 1.27, 95% CI: 0.85-1.89; and high isolation risk score in JAGES: HR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.12-1.50, in ELSA: HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.52-2.73). The population attributable fraction showed less frequent contact with close ties was attributed to about 18 000 premature deaths annually in Japan, in contrast with about 1800 in England. CONCLUSIONS: Negative health impacts of social isolation were higher among older Japanese compared with those in England. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2021; 21: 209-214.

    BackgroundAlthough the feasibility of randomized trials for investigating the long-term association between oral health and cognitive decline is low, deriving causal inferences from observational data is challenging. We aimed to investigate the association between poor oral status and subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) using fixed-effects model to eliminate the confounding effect of unobserved time-invariant factors.MethodsWe used data from Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) which was conducted in 2010, 2013, and 2016. β regression coefficients (95% confidence intervals) were calculated using fixed-effects models to determine the effect of deteriorating oral status on developing SCC. Onset of SCC was evaluated using the Kihon Checklist-Cognitive function score. Four oral status variables were used: awareness of swallowing difficulty, decline in masticatory function, dry mouth, and number of teeth.Results13,594 participants (55.8% women) without SCC at baseline were included. The mean age was 72.4 (SD = 5.1) for men and 72.4 (SD=4.9) for women. Within the 6-year follow-up, 26.6% of men and 24.9% of women developed SCC. The probability of developing SCC was significantly higher when participants acquired swallowing difficulty (β= 0.088; 0.065-0.111 for men, β= 0.077; 0.057-0.097 for women), decline in masticatory function (β=0.039; 0.021-0.057 for men, β= 0.030; 0.013-0.046 for women), dry mouth (β= 0.026; 0.005-0.048 for men, β= 0.064; 0.045-0.083 for women), and tooth loss (β= 0.043; 0.001-0.085 for men, β= 0.058; 0.015-0.102 for women).ConclusionsThe findings suggest that good oral health needs to be maintained to prevent the development of SCC, which increases the risk for future dementia.

    We examined Rose's axiom that a large number of people exposed to a small risk may generate more cases than a small number exposed to a high risk, using data on caries incidence. This longitudinal study was based on the records of annual dental checks conducted in primary schools in Okinawa, Japan. Participants were students aged 6-11 years at baseline in 2014, and a follow-up survey was conducted after one-year. The outcome variable was the increased number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT). The predictor variable was the baseline DMFT score. Gender, grade, and affiliated school variables were adjusted. A negative binomial regression model was used to obtain the estimated increase of DMFT score. Among 1542 students, 1138 (73.8%) were caries-free at baseline. A total of 317 (20.6%) developed new caries during the follow-up. The predicted number of new carious teeth in a caries-free students and students with DMFT = 1 at baseline were 0.26 (95% CI, 0.22-0.31) and 0.45 teeth (95% CI, 0.33-0.56), respectively. However, among the total of 502 newly onset of carious teeth, 300 teeth (59.7%) occurred from the caries-free students at baseline. Hence, prevention strategies should target the low-risk group because they comprise the majority of the population.

    Socioeconomic disadvantage is a risk factor for arthritis, but its causal relationship remains unclear. This study examined the causal relationship between socioeconomic circumstances and new-onset arthritis by taking advantage of the "natural experiment" that resulted from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The baseline survey was conducted in August 2010, 7 months before the disaster. Self-reported questionnaires were mailed to all eligible residents of Iwanuma City in Miyagi Prefecture. The earthquake and tsunami occurred on March 11, 2011. The follow-up survey was conducted in October 2013, as well as the gathering of information about disaster damage (housing damage and subjective deterioration of economic circumstances) and health-related information. We used a two-stage least squares instrumental variable model to analyze 2360 survivors who did not have arthrosis at baseline, of whom 95 (4.0%) developed arthritis over the 2.5-year follow-up period. We used the linear probability model for the estimations. Our results revealed that both the subjective deterioration of economic circumstances and housing damage were associated with the development of arthritis (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08 [0.03-0.12] and 0.02 [0.01-0.04], respectively). In addition, we also found that the disruption of access to orthopedics was associated with the development of arthritis. Our findings added robust evidence of the causal relationship between worsening economic circumstances and the development of arthritis. Our study emphasized the importance of recovery as well as the establishment of the post-disaster orthopedic medical system in the aftermath of a disaster.

    OBJECTIVE: To compare the change in the prevalence of social isolation from 2010 to 2016 between older populations in Japan, the most aging and socially isolated country, and England, a country known for advanced social isolation measures. METHODS: Surveys from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) and the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) included 70,751 and 4134 participants, respectively, aged 65 years or older in 2010 and 94,228 and 4295 participants in 2016. We assessed the social isolation of respondents on a scale from 0 to 5 points based on lack of social interactions with a spouse or partner, children, relatives, or friends and nonparticipation in any organization. RESULTS: Results of two-way analysis of variance confirmed significant interactions (nation × period) in men and women aged 65-74 years and women aged 75 years or older. In JAGES, all had higher scores in 2016 compared to 2010 (1.64-1.76, 1.28-1.36, and 1.55-1.60 points, respectively). Furthermore, the proportions of those with lack of interaction with relatives increased (52.7%-58.9%, 31.5%-41.1%, and 25.2%39.2%, respectively). In ELSA, women aged 75 years or older demonstrated a significantly lower mean score in 2016 than in 2010 (1.40 vs. 1.21). No significant changes were observed in other groups. CONCLUSION: Social isolation among older adults is more severe in Japan than in England. The difference has widened, especially for women and younger older adults. This is attributed to the weakening relationships with relatives in Japan.

    BACKGROUND: Existing evidence suggest that those who are socially isolated are at risk for taking up or continuing smoking. This study investigated country-based differences in social isolation and smoking status. METHODS: We performed a repeated cross-sectional study using two waves of data from two ongoing aging studies: the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing and the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. Participants from both studies aged ≥65 years old were included. We applied a multilevel Poisson regression model to examine the association between social isolation and smoking status and adjusted for individual sociodemographic characteristics. We used the social isolation index which comprises the following domains: marital status; frequency of contact with friends, family, and children; and participation in social activities. Interaction terms between each country and social isolation were also entered into the mode. RESULTS: After exclusion of never smokers, we analyzed 75,905 participants (7,092 for ELSA and 68,813 for JAGES, respectively). Taking ex-smokers as the reference, social isolation was significantly associated with current smoking; the prevalence ratios (PRs; 95% credible intervals [CrIs]) were 1.06 (1.05-1.08) for men and 1.08 (1.04-1.11) for women. Taking Japan as a reference, the interaction term between country and social isolation was significant for both sexes, with increased PRs (95% CrIs) of 1.32 (1.14-1.50) for men and 1.30 (1.11-1.49) for women in England. CONCLUSIONS: Older people who were less socially isolated were more likely to quit smoking in England than in Japan, possibly explained by the strict tobacco control policies in England.

    Countries with different oral health care systems may have different levels of oral health related inequalities. We compared the socioeconomic inequalities in oral health among older adults in Japan and England. We used the data for adults aged 65 years or over from Japan (N = 79,707) and England (N = 5115) and estimated absolute inequality (the Slope Index of Inequality, SII) and relative inequality (the Relative Index of Inequality, RII) for edentulism (the condition of having no natural teeth) by educational attainment and income. All analyses were adjusted for sex and age. Overall, 14% of the Japanese subjects and 21% of the English were edentulous. In both Japan and England, lower income and educational attainment were significantly associated with a higher risk of being edentulous. Education-based SII in Japan and England were 9.9% and 26.7%, respectively, and RII were 2.5 and 4.8, respectively. Income-based SII in Japan and England were 9.2% and 14.4%, respectively, and RII were 2.1 and 1.9, respectively. Social inequalities in edentulous individuals exist in both these high-income countries, but Japan, with wider coverage for dental care, had lower levels of inequality than England.

    BACKGROUND: The trend of the diffusion of heated tobacco products (HTPs) is a great concern because HTPs have become available worldwide. This study examined the sociodemographic characteristics of HTPs users in Japan, which were first launched. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from an online survey conducted in 2017. A total of 4,926 participants, aged 20-69 years, were included. The dependent variable was the type of tobacco products used. The independent variables were age and equivalent income. Two analyses estimated the odds ratios (ORs) for 1) being smokers compared to "non-smokers", and 2) being "HTP smokers" compared to "only combustible cigarette smokers." Analyses were stratified by sex. Educational attainment and occupation were also used in the sensitivity analyses. RESULTS: The percentages of "non-smokers," "only combustible cigarette smokers," and "HTP smokers" were 82.8%, 14.2%, and 3.0%, respectively. When compared to the oldest participants (aged 60-69), the youngest participants (aged 20-29) tended to be "HTP smokers" (OR=7.90 (95% CI=3.09-20.22) for men and 9.28 (2.14-40.28) for women). Compared to participants with the lowest incomes (<2 million), those with the highest incomes (≥4 million) tended to use HTPs (OR=2.93 (95% CI=1.56-5.49) in men and 1.82 (0.73-4.54) in women). These trends were consistent when analyses included only smokers. There were consistent results in other SES measurements; educational attainment and occupation. CONCLUSIONS: Younger or more affluent people tended to use HTPs, although smoking rates among these populations were generally lower. New tobacco control efforts are required.

    Consumption of green tea without sugar, as well as social networks, are associated with a lower risk of tooth loss. There is a possibility of confounding both factors because tea is often drunk with friends. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine whether green tea consumption is beneficially associated with the number of remaining teeth, while considering social networks. This cross-sectional study was based on the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) in 2016. Self-administered questionnaires containing questions about green tea consumption were mailed to 34,567 community-dwelling residents aged ≥ 65 years. We used the number of remaining teeth as a dependent variable, and green tea consumption and the number of friends met over the past month (social network size) as independent variables. Linear regression models with multiple imputation were used. A total of 24,147 people responded (response rate = 69.9%), and 22,278 valid data were included into our analysis. Participants' mean age was 74.2 years (standard deviation = 6.3), and 45.9% were men. Among the participants, 52.2% had ≥ 20 teeth, 34.2% drank 2-3 cups of green tea per day, and 32.6% met ≥ 10 people over the past month. After adjusting for all potential confounders, both higher green tea consumption and a larger social network size were associated with more remaining teeth (both p for trend < 0.001). The association of green tea was greater among those with smaller social networks (p for interaction < 0.05). The protective association of green tea was remarkable among people with smaller social networks.

    Despite improvements in the prevalence of dental caries, disparities are still observed globally and in the U.S. This study examined whether community water fluoridation (CWF) reduced dental caries disparities in permanent teeth of 10- to 19-year-old schoolchildren in North Carolina. We used cross-sectional data representing K-12 schoolchildren in North Carolina (NC) public schools. A poisson regression model was used to determine whether the association between children's parental educational attainment and the prevalence of dental caries of children differed by children's lifetime CWF exposure. We analyzed data on 2075 students. Among the children without any CWF exposure in their life, statistically significant caries disparities by parental educational attainment were observed. Compared to the children of parents with more than high school education, the relative risk for those with a parent with a high school education was 1.16 (95% CI = 1.01, 1.33) and those with less than a high school education was 1.27 (95% CI = 1.02, 1.60). In contrast, these disparities were not observed among children exposed to CWF throughout their lives. Socioeconomic disparities in dental caries were not observed among 10-19-year-old schoolchildren with lifetime CWF exposure. CWF seemed to reduce dental caries disparities.

    OBJECTIVES: Experience of a major disaster can potentially impact on tobacco consumption. Our objective was to explore the determinants of increasing tobacco consumption after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the Miyagi Prefectural Health Survey 2014: a total of 2632 people were randomly selected from residents aged ≥20 years in Miyagi, Japan. Of 2443 respondents (response rate = 92.8%), 551 current smokers (411 men) were included in the analysis. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for increasing tobacco consumption were calculated using multivariable logistic regression models including variables of age, sex, disaster-related job status change, education status, self-rated health, and age at smoking initiation. RESULTS: After adjustments for all variables, significantly higher ORs for increasing tobacco consumption after the GEJE were observed in women (OR = 1.87; 95% CI = 1.10-3.15), 20-39 years old (OR = 5.18; 95% CI = 2.28-11.75), 40-59 years old (OR = 3.97; 95% CI = 1.76-8.94) and respondents who had lost their jobs (OR = 3.42; 95% CI = 1.06-11.05) than the counterpart categories. CONCLUSIONS: This study found 3 determinants of increasing tobacco consumption after a major disaster: being a woman, being of working age, and experiencing disaster-related job loss.

    Objectives Differences in exposure to secondhand smoke at the workplace, based on job category, have been assessed in some countries. While differences due to socioeconomic status have been assessed in Japan, few studies have been conducted to examine differences across job categories. We aimed to clarify the differences in nonsmokers' exposure to secondhand smoke at the workplace across job categories in Japan.Methods This cross-sectional study used data from an online survey conducted in 2017. A total of 1,739 participants, aged 20-69 years, were included. The dependent variable was exposure to secondhand smoke at the workplace, whereas the independent variable was job category, which was classified into the following 7 categories: 1) Management, Professional, and Technical; 2) Clerical; 3) Sales and Service; 4) Security; 5) Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishery; 6) Production Process, Transport, Cleaning, Packaging, etc.; and 7) Transportation, Machine Operation, Construction, and Mining. Analysis included estimates of the prevalence ratios (PRs) for the differences in exposure to secondhand smoke based on job category. In the analyses, sex, age, educational status, income, smoking environment at business, and awareness of secondhand smoke were considered covariates.Results The mean age of the participants was 43.3 years (SD=11.9); men constituted 60.5% of the study participants. A total of 529 individuals (30.4%) were exposed to secondhand smoke at the workplace in the past month. Of these, 171 (27.9%), 155 (27.1%), 116 (33.7%), 10 (45.5%), 7 (31.8%), 39 (34.5%), and 31 (58.5%) were found from the 1st to the 7th category, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, PRs (95% confidence interval) of exposure to secondhand smoke at the workplace among non-smokers were 1.27 (1.04-1.56), 1.61 (1.02-2.56), and 1.75 (1.33-2.31) for the Sales and Service category; Security category; and Transportation, Machine Operation, Construction, and Mining category, respectively, compared to the Clerical category.Conclusion Certain job categories may not be able to benefit from secondhand smoke prevention measures, although the measures have been promoted by the revised Health Promotion Act. It is, thus, necessary to monitor the situation of exposure to secondhand smoke at the workplace across diverse settings.

    OBJECTIVES: Although inequalities in dental implant use based on educational level have been reported, no study has used income as a proxy for the socioeconomic status. We examined: (i) income inequalities in implant use; and (ii) whether income or education has a stronger association with implant use in elder Japanese. METHODS: In 2016, a self-reported questionnaire was mailed to participants aged 65 years or older living across Japan as part of the ongoing Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. We used data from 84,718 respondents having 19 or fewer teeth. After multiple imputation, multi-level logistic regression estimated the association of dental implant use with equivalised income level and years of formal education. Confounders were age, sex, and density of dental clinics in the residential area. RESULTS: 3.1% of respondents had dental implants. Percentages of dental implant use among the lowest (≤ 9 years) and highest (≥ 13 years) educational groups were 1.8 and 5.1, respectively, and among the lowest (0 < 12.2 '1,000 USD/year') and highest (≥ 59.4 '1,000 USD/year') income groups were 1.7 and 10.4, respectively. A fully adjusted model revealed that both income and education were independently associated with dental implant use. Odds ratios for implant use in the highest education and income groups were 2.13 [95% CI = 1.94-2.35] and 4.85 [95% CI = 3.78-6.22] compared with the lowest education and income groups, respectively. From a model with standardised variables, income showed slightly stronger association than education. CONCLUSION: This study reveals a public health problem that even those with the highest education but low income might have limited accessibility to dental implant services.

    OBJECTIVES: Psychosocial factors are known to affect knee pain. However, the magnitude of depression on the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and knee pain in older individuals remains unknown. This study aimed to determine (1) the associations between SES and knee pain and (2) how depression mediates the associations between SES and knee pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a survey across 30 Japanese municipalities to collect cross-sectional data. Functionally independent, community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or above (n=26,037) were eligible for the study. Self-reported knee pain in the past year was used as the dependent variable. Past occupation and equivalized household income were separately added to the models as independent variables. Poisson regression analysis was used to examine the associations between SES and knee pain, adjusting for covariates. Mediation analysis was applied to estimate how depression explains these associations. RESULTS: The 1-year prevalence of knee pain was 56.0% in our study population. We found that income levels were significantly associated with knee pain: the lowest income level was more prone to experience knee pain compared with the highest income level at a prevalence ratio of 1.22 (95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.28). Depression explained 36.8% of the association of income with knee pain in females and 41.9% in males. DISCUSSION: Significant socioeconomic inequalities were observed regarding knee pain among older individuals in Japan. Depression somewhat explained the association between SES and knee pain.

    Influenza vaccination is effective to prevent influenza infection. However, findings about association between socioeconomic status and influenza vaccination coverage are controversial. Online survey was conducted among 4995 participants between 20 and 69 years of age throughout Japan, January 2017. We asked about history of receiving vaccination in previous year and socioeconomic status, with their reasons for having vaccination or not. Age stratified multivariable logistic regression model was conducted to estimate the odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of receiving vaccine for each educational level and income. Sex, self-reported health status, marital status and income were included as covariates. The rate for receiving influenza vaccine among ≤64 year-olds and ≥65 year-olds was 32.9% and 35.4%, respectively. Among younger adults, vaccination varied by each education: junior high school, 23.6%; senior high school, 27.2%; college, 32.6%; university, 36.2%; and graduate school, 39.8%. Compared to junior high school, those from graduate school tended to be more vaccinated (OR1.88, 95%CI 1.07-3.24). On the contrary, those aged above ≥65 years old received vaccination with no significant differences across education. Likewise, among respondents aged ≤64 year-olds, income was significantly associated with influenza vaccination. Despite being "Managed by school or company" (32.5%), having "No particular reason" was the frequent reason for both receiving influenza vaccination (23.8%) or not (34.3%). Adults with higher educational level were significantly more likely to receive vaccination. Subsidizing influenza vaccination may reduce inequality in receiving vaccination for adults. Strengthening vaccination through various approaches is necessary, such as managing by school or company.

    BACKGROUND: Health inequalities are an emerging issue in ageing societies, but inequalities in pre-frailty, which is suffered by almost half of older people, are mostly unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the association between the socio-economic status (SES) and changes across pre-frailty, frailty, disability and all-cause mortality. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study across 23 Japanese municipalities between 2010 and 2013. Functionally independent community-dwelling older adults aged ≥65 years (n = 65 952) in 2010 were eligible for the study. The baseline survey was conducted from 2010 to 2012, and the self-reporting questionnaires were mailed to 126 438 community-dwelling older adults [64.8% (81 980/126 438) response rate]. The follow-up survey was conducted in 2013. Overall, 65 952 individuals were followed up [80.4% (65 952/81 980) follow-up rate]. The health status was classified into five groups: robust; pre-frailty; frailty; disability and death. We conducted three multinomial logistic regression models stratified by the initial disability status. Educational attainment and equivalized household income were separately added to the models as exposures after adjusting for covariates. RESULTS: Participants with the lowest educational level were less likely to recover from pre-frailty to robust compared with those with the highest level [odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 0.84 (0.76-0.93)]. The participants with the lowest income level were also less likely to recover from pre-frailty to robust compared with those with the highest level [OR (95% CI) = 0.80 (0.69-0.91)]. CONCLUSIONS: Older individuals with a lower SES were less likely to recover from a pre-frailty status.

    This study examined the associations between area-level unemployment rates and lower back pain using large-scale data provided by the Japanese working population. We analyzed data from a nationally representative, repeated, cross-sectional study across three waves from 2010, 2013, and 2016 in 47 Japanese subnational level areas. Workers aged 18-64 years (n = 962,586) were eligible to participate in the study. A multilevel logistic model was used to examine the association between the unemployment rate and lower back pain. The self-report of lower back pain was a dependent variable. The prefecture-level unemployment rate was analyzed as an independent variable, adjusted for individual-level covariates (e.g., gender, age, socioeconomic status). After adjusting for all covariates, the main effect of the prefecture-level unemployment rate was statistically significant: the odds ratio (OR) (95% credible interval (CrI)) was 1.01 (1.002, 1.03). Additionally, the OR (95% CrI) for the interaction between gender and the prefecture-level unemployment rate was 1.02 (1.01, 1.03) indicating that women were more affected by area-level employment status than men. In conclusion, a significant association between the unemployment rate and lower back pain was observed in the Japanese working population. Women were more sensitive to the unemployment rate.

    BACKGROUND: Although the majority of survivors of the huge Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami evacuated to two types of temporary housings, prefabricated housing and rented housing, health effects of these different environments were unclear. We examined whether prevalent social participation in prefabricated housing brought larger health benefits than in rented housing using the largest health survey data of the disaster survivors. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used a 2012 survey by the Miyagi Prefectural Government, in which almost all of evacuees were targeted (response rate: 61.6%). Self-rated health (SRH) and psychological distress measured via K6 score were the dependent variables, and social participation was the independent variable. Odds ratios of the social participation on health variables were estimated using logistic regression models. To assess the contribution of social participation, the population attributable fraction (PAF) was estimated. RESULTS: The participants lived in prefabricated and rented housing numbered 19,726 and 28,270, respectively. Participants in prefabricated housing had poorer SRH and K6 than those in rented housing. The proportions of participants engaging in social participation of prefabricated and rented housing were 38.2% and 15.4%, respectively. The absence of social participation was significantly associated with poor SRH and K6 among participants in both housing types. The PAFs of social participation with good SRH were 39.5% in prefabricated housing and 14.4% in rented housing. For K6, the PAFs were 47.1% and 19.5% in prefabricated and rented housing, respectively. CONCLUSION: Compared to the residents in rented housing, residents in prefabricated housing had more frequent opportunities for social participation, which was associated with larger health benefits.

    OBJECTIVE: To estimate quantitatively whether the presence of cough associated with dysphagia (laryngeal cough reflex) increased mortality through respiratory disease among community-dwelling older Japanese. DESIGN: A 6-year follow-up prospective cohort study (from 2010 to 2017). SETTING: Thirteen municipalities in Japan. PARTICIPANTS: Community-dwelling individuals aged 65 years or older (N = 32,682). MEASURES: The baseline survey was conducted through self-reported questionnaire. Exposure was experience of laryngeal cough reflex while drinking. The outcome was all-cause mortality. All covariates were selected from demographic, socioeconomic variables, baseline health and functional status, smoking, alcohol drinking, number of remaining teeth, and stroke. The mediator variable was respiratory disease. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality. Parametric mediation analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of laryngeal cough reflex on the mean residual time to death mediated through respiratory disease. RESULTS: Among the 32,682 participants (mean age = 74.1 years, standard deviation = 5.9 years), 5550 (17.0%) experienced laryngeal cough reflex at baseline. A total of 4037 deaths occurred. Crude mortality rates of the participants with or without laryngeal cough reflex were 16.3% and 11.6%, respectively. After adjusting for covariates, laryngeal cough reflex [HR = 1.10; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02 to 1.19] and respiratory disease (HR = 1.80; 95% CI = 1.62 to 2.00) were associated with mortality. The mediation analysis showed that respiratory disease significantly (P < .001) and partially mediated the association between laryngeal cough reflex, an indicator of 1 or more conditions such as chronic aspiration and mortality. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Laryngeal cough reflex was a prevalent condition, and it was associated with all-cause mortality in community-dwelling older Japanese individuals. Clinicians could contribute to reduce mortality risk by addressing swallowing function problems using their interprofessional collaboration team (speech-language pathologist, dentist, rehabilitation doctor, otolaryngologist, respiratory physician, and gerontologist).

    Oral diseases produce enormous productivity loss. However, epidemiological evidence of work stress and tooth loss is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the association of work stress, according to effort-reward imbalance (ERI), with tooth loss. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data obtained between 2010 and 2011 in Japan. This study included 1,195 employees aged 25-50 years old (response rate=32%). The dependent variable was self-reported tooth loss (having or not). The independent variable was a dichotomized ERI ratio (>1.4 and ≤1.4). Age, sex, sociodemographic variables, work-related factors, and health-related variables were adjusted. Psychological distress was used as a potential mediator. We also examined an additive interaction between support from supervisors and ERI. The median age was 37, and 48% were women. After adjusting for the covariates, ERI was still associated with tooth loss (prevalence ratio=1.20 [95% confidence interval=1.01, 1.42] from Poisson regression models with a robust error variance). Psychological distress partially explained the association, and support from supervisors significantly attenuated the association. In conclusion, high ERI ratio was still associated with an increased risk of tooth loss among working adults.

    BACKGROUND: Annually, more than 1.2 million deaths due to road traffic accidents occur worldwide. Although previous studies have examined the association between cigarette smoking and injury death, the mortality outcome often included non-traffic accident-related deaths. This study aimed to examine the association between cigarette smoking and traffic accident death. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the Ibaraki Prefectural Health Study conducted from 1993 through 2013. The cohort included 97,078 adults (33,138 men and 63,940 women) living in Ibaraki Prefecture who were aged 40-79 years at an annual health checkup in 1993. We divided participants into four smoking status groups: non-smokers, ex-smokers, and current smokers who smoked <20 and ≥20 cigarettes per day. Hazard ratios (HRs) of traffic accident death were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: During 20 years of follow-up, the average person-years of follow-up were 16.8 and 18.2 in men and women, respectively. Among men, after adjusting for age and alcohol intake, HRs for traffic accident death among current smokers of <20 cigarettes/day and ≥20 cigarettes/day compared to non-smokers were 1.32 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-2.20) and 1.54 (95% CI, 0.99-2.39), respectively. In contrast, among women, we found no association between smoking status and traffic accident deaths. CONCLUSION: In this prospective cohort study, we found a positive association, though marginally significant, between smoking and traffic accident death among men in Japan. Among women, because of the smaller number of deaths among smokers, adequate estimation could not be obtained.

    OBJECTIVES: The Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami cause large-scale destruction in the north-eastern coastal areas in Japan, and forced many survivors to relocate to prefabricated temporary housing, a typical emergency accommodation. Based on the hypothesis that higher toothache prevalence among the disaster survivors is associated with postdisaster distress, we determined the impact of temporary residential environment as potential stressor on the subjective toothache prevalence. METHODS: A repeated cross-sectional health survey based on self-reported questionnaire was conducted in 2776 disaster survivors, of whom 1446 participants underwent dental examination by dentists. Housing type was categorized into three groups including the same housing as before the earthquake, temporary housing and rented/new housing. The association of housing type with subjective toothache prevalence was examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis in all subjects and subgroup analysis in dental examination applicants. Stratified analysis by survey wave was applied with inclusion of covariates such as the socio-demographic factors, and presence of insomnia and psychological distress. In subgroup analysis, presence of dental caries and gum problems in dental examination were included as factors of direct exposure to subjective toothache. RESULTS: In the first survey wave, the participants living in the temporary housing had significantly higher odds ratio (OR) for toothache prevalence compared to the participants living in the same housing (OR: 3.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.85-7.65, P < 0.001); whereas in all other survey waves, there was no significant difference. Subgroup analysis of dental examination applicants confirmed the presence of significant association of subjective toothache prevalence in the temporary housing group alone (OR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.38-7.76, P = 0.004), but not in the rented/new housing group (OR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.57-3.91, P = 0.411), even after adjusting for covariates related to oral findings. CONCLUSION: Temporary housing may be a factor to increase the risk of subjective toothache among disaster survivors only at postdisaster acute phase.

    BACKGROUND: Low back pain is an important public health issue across the world. However, it is unclear whether socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with low back pain. This study determines an association between SES and low back pain among older people. METHODS: We used cross-sectional data derived from the year 2013 across 30 Japanese municipalities. The survey was conducted between October 2013 to December 2013. Functionally independent community-dwelling older adults aged 65 and above (n = 26,037) were eligible for the study. Multilevel Poisson regression analysis with a robust variance estimator was used to examine the association between SES and low back pain. Self-reported low back pain in the past year was used as a dependent variable. Educational attainment, past occupation, equivalized household income, wealth, and subjective economic situation represented SES and were separately analyzed as independent variables, adjusted for covariates including age and sex. RESULTS: The prevalence of low back pain was 63.4%. Overall, lower SES were more likely to suffer from low back pain compared with that for the highest. First, as for the educational attainment, the prevalence ratio (PR) (95% credible interval (CI)) for the lowest level was 1.07 (1.02-1.12). Second, as for the past occupation, the PR (95% CI) for the blue-collared workers compared with professionals was 1.06 (1.01-1.11). Third, as for the equalized household income, the PRs (95% CI) for lower middle and the lowest income levels were 1.08 (1.02-1.13) and 1.16 (1.10-1.23), respectively. Fourth, as for the wealth, the PRs (95% CI) for lower middle and the lowest wealth levels were 1.11 (1.04-1.19) and 1.18 (1.11-1.27), respectively. Fifth, as for the subjective economic situation, the PRs (95% CI) for lower middle and the lowest financial conditions were 1.18 (1.10-1.26) and 1.32 (1.22-1.44), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Significant socioeconomic inequalities were observed in low back pain among older individuals in Japan. Policymakers and clinicians must understand the nature of these inequalities.

    BACKGROUND: No studies have examined the associations between the numbers of teeth and sleep disturbance. Therefore, we examined the associations between the number of teeth and sleep duration in older people, considering the evidence linking fewer teeth and sleep apnoea through changes in jaw position. METHODS: For this study we used information from a sample of 23,444 cohort participants, randomly selected from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study 2010 (N = 169,215). The outcome variable was self-reported sleep duration (h/day), and the explanatory variable was self-reported number of teeth (0, 1-9, 10-19, ≥20). We treated age, sex, body mass index, educational attainment, annual equalized household income, depressive symptoms, physical activity, activities of daily living, presence of diabetes, and smoking status as covariates. Multinomial logistic regression was used among the 20,548 eligible participants with all necessary information. RESULTS: The mean age was 73.7 (standard deviation = 6.13) years. Most participants (28.1%) reported sleep duration of 7 h, while a small proportion of the participants reported short (≤4 h, 2.7%) or long (≥10 h, 4.7%) sleep duration. The proportion of edentulous participants was 14.7%. Taking the 7-h sleep duration as the reference category, edentulous participants (relative risk ratio (RRR) = 1.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.90) or one to nine teeth (RRR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.02-1.63) had a significantly higher relative risk ratio for short sleep, independent of covariates. Furthermore, they had a higher relative risk ratio for long sleep duration (RRR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.40-2.19; RRR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.21-1.81, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to people with 20 or more teeth, older adults with fewer than 10 teeth have higher risks for short and long sleep durations.

    Risk perception and individual reactions to risk are not necessarily comparable, and socioeconomic status may affect individual reactions to risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between socioeconomic status and reactions to radiation exposure risk. This cross-sectional study, based on a self-reported online survey was conducted between 3 March and 21 March 2012, one year after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. We used feelings of anxiety and risk-averse behavior concerning radiation exposure as dependent variables, and equivalent income and educational attainment as independent variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis was applied to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) with adjustment for possible confounders. Among 10 000 participants, 23.0% felt anxious and 12.0% engaged in risk-averse behavior for radiation exposure. Participants with a higher socioeconomic status tended not to feel anxious but undertook risk-averse behavior. Participants in the highest quartile income category did not report feeling anxious but showed prevalent undertaking of risk-averse behavior for radiation exposure compared to the lowest income category (for anxiety, aOR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64-0.93, for risk-averse behavior, aOR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.04-1.69). University or graduate-school graduates were associated with greater risk-averse behavior compared to junior high school or high school graduates (aOR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.29-1.73). Socioeconomic status may affect reactions to radiation exposure risk. Risk communication strategies should consider the socioeconomic status of those affected.

    National surveillance on human ecinococcosis has been performed since April 1999 when it was stipulated as a Category IV Disease under the Infectious Diseases Prevention Law. During the last 4 years of surveillance, 3 cases with unilocular hydatidosis (age range 27-81 years; median age 55 years) and 51 cases with alveolar hydatidosis (age range 15-86 years; median age 64 years) have been reported. The numbers of reported cases with alveolar hydatidosis have been increased with age, and the largest number reported in the age group >71 years. Three cases with unilocular hy datidosis have been reported from health centers in Honshu, and were likely to be imported cases. Seventeen reported cases had clinical symptoms. None of the reported cases had information on infection route. Fifty out of 51 cases with alveolar hydatid disease have been reported from health centers in Hokkaido. When analyzing the cases by subdividing Hokkaido into six regional districts, large number of cases were reported from health centers in Ishikari-Shiribeshi-Iburi region (20 cases) and in Nemuro-Abashiri-Kushiro region (15 cases). As detailed addresses of the cases were masked, we compared the number of cases per 100, 000 residents in regions. Health center in Nemuro-Abashiri-Kushiro region (2.13/100, 000) had largest rate and second was Souya-Rumoi region (2.05/100, 000). The results from current surveillance data only suggest the generation situation of human echinococcosis in several years ago or more, so the generation situation between 1999 April and 2002 December in surveillance is unknown.

    National echinococcosis surveillance has been performed since April 1999 when it was stipulated as a Category IV Disease under the Infectious Diseases Prevention Law. During the last 4 years of surveillance, 7 cases of unilocular hydatid disease (age range 27-81 years; median age 56 years) and 43 cases of alveolar hydatid disease (age range 24-83 years; median age 64 years) have been reported. There was an increase in the number of reported cases of alveolar hydatid with age, and the greatest number of reported cases occurred in the age group≥70 years. Thirty-three of the reported echinococcosis cases had clinical symptoms. The greatest number of echinococcosis was reported from health centers in Hokkaido; 94% of all reported cases (47/50) were from this island. After classifying Hokkaido into six regional districts and analyzing cases by district, we found the greatest number of reported cases to be from the Nemuro-Abashiri-Kushiro region (16 cases) and the Ishikari-Shiribeshi-Iburi region (15 cases). However, the greatest number of reported cases per 100, 000 residents was found to be from the Souya-Rumoi region (2.05/100, 000) and the Nemuro-Abashiri-Kushiro region (2.00/100, 000). As the incubation period of echinococcosis is thought to be several years or more, the current data shows the infection rate from several years ago. In order to better understand the current infection rate of echinococcosis, we recommend implementing a seroepidemiological surveillance in addition to the present surveillance.

    The FIFA World Cup 2002 Korea/Japan, which will be held during May 31 through June 30, 2002, is a mass-gathering and high-profile event. The Ministry of Transport announced that approximately 430, 000 people visit Japan for the event. We estimated the incidence of major imported infections using data from the national epidemiological surveillance of infectious diseases and the statistics of immigration. Estimated incidences are 5.88 (shigellosis), 3.41 (malaria), 1.40 (typhoid/paratyphoid fever), 0.42 (cholera), and 0.0032 (meningococcal meningitis). The incidence for viral hemorrhagic fever was estimated 0.0018 under assumption that "it correlates with the malaria incidence from Africa" and that "the incidence occurs every 15 years". These results indicate little possibility of remarkable increase of exotic infections during the event. These incidences, however, may occur in the rural prefectures where few cases are reported. It is highly needed to strengthen surveillance and educate physicians and public health experts especially for malaria cases.

    &lt;p&gt; Objectives:The association of directorsʼ or office managersʼ interest in oral health management with the levying of additional fees for oral care in long-term care facilities was examined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Methods:We sent self-administered questionnaires to 1,806 long-term care facilities. As a proxy of implementation of oral care, the presence of an additional fee in public insurance for oral care in long-term care facilities was used as the dependent variable. Directorsʼ or office managersʼ interest in oral health management was used as the independent variable. Number of residents, nursing care level, dentistry services offered, presence of a dental professional, presence of an oral care manual, participation and enforcement of training on oral care, dental examinations, and access to dental care were entered as covariates. Poisson regression was used to estimate the prevalence ratio(PR)and 95% confidence interval(95%CI).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Results:Respectively 67.4% and 67.7% of the facilities obtained an additional fee for oral care when the director or office manager had an interest in oral health management. The multivariate adjusted PR for directorsʼ and managersʼ interest in oral health management when an additional fee was levied for oral care were 1.32(95%CI:1.07~1.63)and 1.29(95%CI:1.08~1.53), respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Conclusion:Our results demonstrated that, in facilities that offered dentistry services, employed a dental hygienist, and conducted regular dental checkups, an additional fee was levied for dental services when the facility director or office manager had an interest in oral health management. Directorsʼ or office managersʼ understanding of the importance of oral health management seems to be especially important for levying an additional fee for oral care in long-term care facilities.&lt;/p&gt;

    This study proposes a risk population estimation method based on the reported counts of patients of influenza in each area. A risk population estimation method is developed by regarding the sum of the weekly observations in a season following the binomial distribution, which enables estimations of population parameters and probability parameters through maximum likelihood method. The results show that the estimated infection probability is consistently correlated with population density, and the estimated population parameters in areas with high populations are obviously small in comparison with the proportion of population.

    The aim of this paper is to clarify and model the geographical aspects of the HIV epidemic in Japan to examine the present and future states of geographical distribution of HIV cases and spatial relationships in HIV transmission. Although Japan has one of the lowest rates of HIV/AIDS cases among industrialized nations, the number of HIV/AIDS cases in the country has been steadily and rapidly rising. In the earlier phase of the HIV/AIDS epidemic (until around 1990), most of cases were reported from Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures. However, spatial diffusion of the epidemic is becoming apparent as the epidemic develops. We should now take note of the rising risk of HIV/AIDS in entire Japan. In this situation, the information concerning local epidemic states are necessary for supporting national and local health agencies planning preventive actions against HIV/AIDS expansion in Japan. We analyse the processes of HIV spatial diffusion based on the national HIV/AIDS surveillance, which began in 1984 but was legalized in 1989, with the aid of GIS mapping and spatial modelling.

    We investigated the association between the DMFT index at 12 years of age and urbanization in 39 developing countries. First, cluster analysis was performed to divide the 39 countries into subgroups based on their patterns of urbanization. These developing countries were then assigned to one of two groups (cluster I and cluster 2). These two clusters were characterized by three factors related to urbanization, namely, the percentage of the population aged between 15〜64 years, the population employed in the service sector, and the urban population. Next, the subgroups were compared with regard to the DMFT index at 12 years of age. The less urbanized countries of cluster 1 had a significantly lower DMFT index than the more highly urbanized countries of cluster 2 (p&lt;0.001). This finding suggests that the prevalence of dental caries is increasing rapidly in the developing countries with higher urbanization such as Korea and South Africa, and therefore, a dental caries preventive program should be developed immediately in these countries.

    コロナ禍及びその後の状況下における「思春期サードプレイス」を実現する構成要素について当事者の視点から検討するために、「思春期サードプレイス」の活動への参加者および活動の支え手として参加していた大学生にとってコロナ禍における「思春期サードプレイス」はどのような場であったのかを明らかにすることを目的とした研究を実施した。 データ収集においては、半構成的インタビューを行った。前者については、インタビューを継続中、後者についてはインタビューを終了した。 後者においては、研究参加に同意が得られた7名から得られたデータについて、逐語録を作成し、意味のあるまとまりに焦点を当てコード化・サブカテゴリ化・カテゴリ化を行った。分析の結果、68のサブカテゴリおよび8のカテゴリが見いだされた。大学生たちにとってのコロナ禍における「思春期サードプレイス」は《中高生がここに居ても大丈夫と思えるようにする》《中高生との関係性を様々な関わりを糸口として築く》《中高生が力を得ていくプロセスに伴走する》《自分自身の学びと実践を循環させる》《サードプレイスの重要性や魅力に気づく》《サードプレイスについて願い考えるようになる》《サードプレイスを自分ごととして捉える動機が高まる》《サードプレイスによって得られるものがある》という場であることが明らかとなった。 大学生たちにとってのコロナ禍における「思春期サードプレイス」は、中高生の支援を試行錯誤しながら実践し、「思春期サードプレイス」に対する気づきや考え持つようになる場であった。また、このような場を自分ごととして捉える動機を高め、自分にとって得られるものがある場としても意味づけていた。本研究の意義は、大学生による「思春期サードプレイス」での専門的実践が、中高生との「ナナメの関係」における相互作用と大学生としての欲求の充足によって促されていたことを見出した点にあるといえる。

    口腔衛生と認知機能低下の長期的な関連を調査するための無作為化試験の実施可能性は低いが、観察データから因果関係を導き出すことは困難である。我々は,観察されない時変因子の交絡効果を排除するために,固定効果モデルを用いて,口腔状態不良と主観的認知愁訴(SCC)の関連を調査することを目的とした。2010年,2013年,2016年に実施されたJapan Gerontological Evaluation Study(JAGES)のデータを使用した。口腔状態の悪化がSCC発症に及ぼす影響について,固定効果モデルを用いてβ回帰係数と95%信頼区間[CI]を算出した。SCCの発症は、キホンチェックリスト-認知機能スコアを用いて評価した。口腔内の状態は、嚥下困難の自覚、咀嚼機能の低下、ドライマウス、歯の本数の4つの変数を用いた。結果としてベースライン時にSCCを発症していない13,594人(女性55.8%)を対象とした。平均年齢は、男性72.4歳(標準偏差[SD]、5.1)、女性72.4歳(SD、4.9)であった。6年間の追跡期間中に、男性の26.6%、女性の24.9%がSCCを発症した。SCCの発症確率は、嚥下障害(β = 0.088; 95% CI, 0.065-0.111 for men and β = 0.077; 95% CI, 0.057-0.097 for women)、咀嚼機能低下(β = 0.039; 95% CI, 0.021-0.099; 95% CI, 0.057-0.097 for women)を獲得すると著しく高くなることが明らかになった。 057(男性)、β=0.030(95%CI、0.013-0.046)、ドライマウス(β=0.026(95%CI、0.005-0.048)、β=0.064(95%CI、0.045-0.083)、歯の喪失(β=0.043(95%CI、0.001-0.085)/男性)、β=0.058(95%CI、0.015-0.102))であった。 <BR> 結論 この結果は、将来の認知症リスクを高めるSCCの発症を予防するために、良好な口腔衛生を維持する必要があることを示唆している。

    Social isolation is one of social determinants of health. We compared following points in Japan and England: 1) characteristics of social isolation among older adults, 2) association between social isolation and health behavior or mortality, and 3) population attributable fraction of social isolation. We used two large scale epidemiological ageing cohort data: Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) in Japan and English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) in England. We confirmed that social isolation among older adults was significantly associated with depressive symptoms, smoking, oral health, and mortality in both countries. Since proportion of social isolation was remarkably higher in Japan, the severe social isolation among older adults was attributed to around 18,000 premature deaths annually in Japan, in contrast with around 1,800 in England. Nationwide promotion of social participation and relationships is necessary in Japan to combat social isolation among older adults.

    We analyzed the effect of oral status on general health considering socio-economic factors using the JAGES large cohort data. We could not use the data collected through Tohoku-medical megabank. We found that the good condition of the oral cavity can prevent frail condition of older people and shorten the period of the condition needing nursing care. The low socioeconomic status of people after the earthquake leads to the loss of teeth, and the increase in medical services in dentistry when the medical co-payment exempted,the price elasticity is high. We also found the difficulty of swallowing were at high risk for the mortality due to aspirating pneumonia.

    The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) accident in March 2011 released substantial amount of radionuclides into the atmosphere. Since the amount of radionuclide in the tooth is thought to be in parallel with the amount of systemic incorporation of radionuclide into the body during the period of tooth formation, we hypothesized that we could estimate the level of internal exposure to radiation by measuring the amount of radionuclide in the teeth. The object of this study is to establish the method for screen the amount of radionuclides in the teeth using imaging plate (IP). We examined the concentration of radioactive nuclides in the teeth formed before FDNPP accident. As a result, some of the teeth showed high QL values. Such teeth were observed in the teeth collected both from Fukushima prefecture and control prefectures. Most of these teeth with high QL values were filled with composite resin. Thus, this method is suitable for the teeth with healthy IP surface.

    The health of the older people is greatly affected by the social environment, socio-economic status and social capital. We have implemented large cohort study, JAGES, involving more than 30 municipalities in Japan. In particular, Iwanuma City is the Tsunami affected area, there were data collected before and after the earthquake. We studied the impact of social capital and social environment before and after the earthquake on health and the recovery from the earthquake damage, using quasi-experimental research design. We elucidated that damage to housing due to the earthquake affected the progression of depression, PTSD, ADL decline. The community social capital would affect its prevention and improvement from the damage. This study suggested the future direction how to make a resilience of the community.

    In the present study, we measured the concentration of radionuclides in the teeth of animals (cows, Japanese field mice and wild Japanese monkeys) caught in the evacuation area of the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) accident. Sr-90, Cs-137 and Cs-134 that originate from FDNPP were detected from all the teeth examined. The concentrations exhibited a positive relationship with the degree of radioactive contamination that the animal experienced. Even within an individual animal the concentration varied depending on the developmental stage of the teeth during the FNPP accident: teeth that were early in development exhibited high concentrations, while that were late in development exhibited low concentrations. These findings demonstrate that the radionuclides are incorporated into the teeth during tooth development; thus the concentration of radionuclide in the teeth could provide useful information about internal exposure to radiation.

    Oxytocin is a peptide hormone. It plays an important role on social behaviors of humans. In recent years, Social capital has drawn increased attention as a key factor in relation to health, and oxytocin may be an underlying biomarker. Oral health is associated with social relationships through oral health function on conversation, eating, and facial appearance. We examined the association of oxytocin on sociality and oral health. As the results, weak associations were partially observed. Social function of oral health may be associated with improvement of sociality and oxytocin secretion volume.

    A huge disaster causes change of social determinants of health, which damage health of victims. However, few studies examine the effect of social determinants on physical, not only mental, health after a huge disaster. Our cohort study investigated the association between disaster-related economic difficulty and health among older victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. After considering covariates, disaster-related economic difficulty was significantly associated with tooth loss. Loss of social relationships was significantly associated with deterioration of mental health. Psychological stress caused by various social factors after disasters may affect health of victims.

    A prospective cohort study using the panel data of the 2006 survey and the 2010 survey of Japan gerontology assessment project (JAGES project) was performed. Analyzes the impact on society participation and oral health, people with older age, in the lower health status and socio-economic conditions are worse. We found that the number of teeth was 1.3 times more in the person with social participation. The results of prospective studies related remaining teeth and instrumental daily operation IADL in the elderly shows persons teeth more than twenty have been shown to be associated with IADL scores increased.

    The erosion of social capital in more unequal societies is one mechanism for the association between income inequality and health. However, there are relatively few multi-level studies on this relation. Income inequality was significantly associated with poor dental status and marginally significantly associated with poor self-rated health. Social capital partially accounted for the association between income inequality and self-rated health but did not affect the strong association of income inequality and dental status.

    Multivariate analysis identified positive lymph node metastasis, low total cholesterol level, a small number of lymphocytes, positive venous invasion, and elevated serum CA19-9 level as independent prognostic factors in curatively resected gastric cancer patients. It should be considered to administer anti-cancer drugs in such cases. In addition, it may be useful to evaluate enzyme activity regarding 5-FU metabolism in predicting the effect of anticancer drugs and prognosis of gastric cancer patient.

    In the 21st century, there have been newly emerging infectious diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and pandemic influenza. Compared with ordinal epidemic prone diseases, recent emerging infectious diseases pose a greater threat at a global level. Therefore it is required to develop an efficient early warning system, which is consist of strengthen of routine surveillance as well as development of new systems. In this study, we revealed that active case findings can warrant an efficient outbreak response especially among displaced population. In addition, it is important to understand the background information in the countries when introducing new methodology available in developed counties. To improve laboratory confirmation in these settings, new methodologies including genetic detection and antibody detection methods shoulde be developed.
