Methods: The participants were all 65 years or older living in farming communities near major urban centers in Japan (n = 801). The contents of the questionnaire covered social interaction (using an "Index of Social Interaction" consisting of 18 items), health status, physical function, activities of daily living (ADL), age and gender. Results: A total of 139 subjects died within the seven year period after the baseline survey: 1) baseline age and physical function were related to the seven-year mortality; 2) greater social interaction was positively related to reduced mortality; 3) multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for baseline age, gender, physical function, health status, and ADL indicated that greater social interaction was related to reduced mortality. Discussion: These findings highlight the importance of social interaction in successful aging.

Method In this interventional study, the sample was divided into two groups. The intervention group underwent dementia supporter training and participated in an experiential learning program, which was conducted two weeks after the initial training session. The control group underwent only the dementia supporter training. Results Kolb's experiential learning model consists of four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, conceptualization, and active experimentation. A total of 37 and 44 individuals constituted the intervention and control groups, respectively. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed that there was a significant increase in motivation among the intervention group participants, when compared to the control group participants. Moreover, the activity rate was higher among the intervention group participants. Discussion The experiential learning program was effective in increasing motivation levels and activity involvement among the dementia supporters. Conclusions The experiential learning program for dementia supporters can be used to improve other volunteer and professional programs. Moreover, Kolb's theory can be used to support individuals with dementia within the community.

[Subjects] The subjects were 141 males and 151 females living in a farming village neighboring a large city in the Chubu District of Japan. [Methods] We investigated the age, sex, and presence/absence of illness, social interaction, and exercise habits of each subject. The baseline study was conducted in 1996 with a follow-up in 2005. The chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationships of independence in physical function with age, sex, and presence/absence of illness, social interaction, and habitual exercise. Analyses were performed using the computer program SAS. [Results] The results of the present study indicate that decline of physical function was related with decline of ability to step up and down. [Conclusion] It seems advisable to provide an intensive program for individuals when they begin to have difficulty stepping up and down (the group at risk). However, the validity of the program identified by the authors has not yet been tested. At the same time, it would be desirable to implement a program prepared on the basis of these findings and evaluate its effectiveness.

This study aims to clarify the buffering effect of parental engagement on the association between corporal punishment and children's emotional/behavioral problems. In this study, the main caregivers completed the Evaluation of Environmental Stimulation Scale (EES), which is an evaluation of daily parenting behaviors, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), which evaluates children's developmental problems. The results revealed that corporal punishment was associated with worse emotional and behavioral problems in children, whereas parental engagement in games or sports was associated with fewer emotional symptoms. Similarly, parental engagement in homework or housework significantly moderated the association between corporal punishment and children'sbehavioral problems. Parental engagement positively moderated the association between parental corporal punishment and children's developmental difficulties. This association varied by child's gender.
