Research Interests
In a community-based geriatric intervention study in Kochi, Japan. we revealed:
1) the association between blood pressure levels and cognitive function
in elderly subjects aged 75 years and above; 2) the association between
serum cholesterol levels and cognitive function in elderly subjects aged
75 years and above; 3) the effect of intervention on the annual increased
independent ratio in activities of daily living in the community-dwelling
elderly population during 1991-97; 4) risk factors for subsequent death
in the elderly; 5) risk factors for subsequent frailty in the elderly;
6) characteristics of quality of life of the community-dwelling elderly;
and so on.
We also set up geriatric longitudinal study fields, such as Kyoto, Shiga,
and Hokkaido in Japan, and we compared the difference of quality of life
of the community-dwelling elderly population among the three areas. The
tendency of variety of quality of life items of old people are common in
the three areas, indicating that Japanese old people have a common sense
of quality of life.
In trans-cultural ecological medical studies in Tibet in China, Yunnan
in China, Mongolia, Korea, Sen Yay in Myanmar, West Java in Indonesia,
Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos, we have clarified that the human aging phenomena,
including biological indices and social quality of life, are influenced
not only by genetic differences or surrounding natural environments but
also by cultural differences.
Current research topics:
(1) Trans-cultural ecological aspects of human aging
(2) Community-based comprehensive geriatric intervention for the elderly
(3) Comparative ecological studies for dementic disorders between Southeast
Asia and Japan
