“…Disabling dementia was defined as an incident functional disability with dementia according to the LTCI system whereby dementia exceeded rank I (rank ≥II) on the dementia scale of the Doctor's Opinion Paper, as individuals who have mild or moderate dementia are classified as rank II. 16,18,19 We obtained a data set that included information on LTCI certification, death, or emigration from Ohsaki City based on an agreement.…”

Objectives This study examined the hypothesis that time spent walking daily has a marked impact on incident dementia. Methods/design First, we analyzed data from a Japanese cohort (n = 13 990 aged ≥65 y) to obtain hazard ratios. Time spent walking per day (<0.5, 0.5‐1, or ≥1 h) was assessed using a self‐reported questionnaire. Data on 5.7‐year incident dementia were retrieved from the public long‐term care insurance database. After estimating the multivariate‐adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of incident dementia using the Cox model, the population attributable fraction (PAF) was calculated using the prevalence in a representative Japanese survey, the “National Health and Nutrition Survey”. Results The time spent walking per day showed an inverse association with incident dementia: the multiple‐adjusted HRs (95% confidence intervals) were 1.00 (reference) for less than 0.5 hour, 0.81 [0.71, 0.92] for 0.5 to 1 hour, and 0.72 [0.62, 0.84] for more than or equal to 1 hour. Our estimates indicate that 18.1% of dementia cases would be attributable to walking if all subjects walked more than or equal to 1 h/d and 14.0% if subjects increased their daily time spent walking to one level above the present one (<0.5 to 0.5‐1 or 0.5‐1 to ≥1 h). Conclusions Our results suggest that the daily time spent walking has a considerable preventive impact on incident dementia in Japan.

“…The Dementia Scale is classified into eight ranks (0, I, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IV or M. Rank M means that an individual has severe dementia‐related behavioral disturbance that requires medical intervention). A rank exceeding I is usually used as an outcome measure of incident dementia, because individuals who have mild or moderate dementia are classified as rank II . This definition is the same as the Japanese government's estimation of dementia prevalence .…”

“…The Dementia Scale is classified into six ranks (0, I-IV, M; Rank M means that an individual has severe dementiarelated behavioral disturbance that requires medical intervention), and a rank exceeding I is usually used as an outcome measure of incident dementia because individuals who have mild or moderate dementia are classified as rank II. 24,[29][30][31] A previous study has shown that the Dementia Scale is negatively correlated with the Mini Mental State Examination score (Spearman rank correlation coefficient = À0.736). 32 We obtained a dataset that included information on LTCI certification, death, or emigration from Ohsaki City.…”
