Current Research Interests
- Longitudinal follow-up study based on comprehensive geriatric assessment
for community-dwelling elderly in Japan andother Asian countries
- Study on neurodegenerative diseases in Papua New Guinea
- Comparative study on human aging and disease in Himalaya highlanders
I have been continuing the longitudinal study on comprehensive geriatric
assessment for community-dwelling elderly living in Kochi, Japan, since
1990.
To compare with these findings, I have carried out geriatric surveys of
community-dwelling elderly living in West Java, Indonesia; Phuto district,
Vietnam; Maubin, Myanmar; Khon Kaen, Thailand; and Savannakhet, Laos. The
findings included an increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the
elderly population of Khon Kaen and Savannakhet and a high prevalence of
hypertension in the elderly of West Java. A close association was also
foundbetween metabolic syndrome in the elderly and economic transition.
In addition and in comparison with the above, two special interests in
neurodegenerative diseases in Papua New Guineaand the health of high altitude
populations in Himalaya have also led to cooperation with researchers of
the Research Institute of Humans and Nature.
