Research Interests：

  1. Comparative Area Study on Health of the Community-Dwelling Elderly from the standpoints of Ecology and Culture
  2. Study on Neurodegenerative Diseases in New Guinea
  3. Study on Human Aging and Diseases in Elderly Highlanders.

Research Overview：

    Based on longitudinal comprehensive geriatric assessment and intervention for community-dwelling elderly in Japan, I am carrying out comparative area study on human aging and diseases from the standpoints of ecology and culture in Asian countries to establish health care design for elderly optimal to each area. I am also carrying out studies on neurodegenerative diseases in New Guinea and study on human aging and diseases of elderly highlanders.
