“…Recently, Haga et al examined the influence of lifestyles on the maintenance of IADL based on an 8-year longitudinal observation in a rural area. 28 The IADL was well maintained in men who slept 6-8 h and ate seaweed almost every day, and in women who read newspapers/magazines, and ate seafood and fruit almost every day.…”

The present addresses concepts, definitions, and measurements of functional capacity. Further, distributions of functional capacity are assessed by such various indices as activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL (IADL), the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology (TMIG) Index of Competence, and active life expectancy in the Japanese elderly. Further, predictors of functional status are demonstrated, and the impact of functional decline on quality of life is investigated in elderly Japanese living in the community.

Abstract. [Purpose] This study investigated the relationships among lifestyles, functional capacity, and motor ability that influence self-reliance over a period of 2 years.[Subjects] The subjects were 53 elderly people (average age: 76.4 years) living on A Island,who were independent in ADL in the baseline survey conducted in 2005.[Methods] The survey was conducted by interviews and motor ability test. There were 22 items for lifestyles, 13 items for functional capacity and 3 items for physical performance in the survey. The present study was undertaken in order to identify predictors of lifestyles at follow-up carried out 2 years later.[Results] Grip strength, intellectual activity, and social role were lower than those in 2005. In the relationship between lifestyles and functional capacity, subjective view of health (SVH) showed a significant correlations social lifestyles and instrumental activities, social role, all lifestyles and subjective view of health. In considering these outcomes and the differences between decrease and maintenance of lifestyle groups at baseline, those which could influence psychological lifestyles, were examined.[Conclusion] These results suggest that efforts to maintain lifestyle, and functional capacity might be useful for maintaining active self-reliance in the elderly.

This study investigated the relationships among lifestyle, functional capacity and social attributes that influenced independence over a period of 2 years. The subjects were 223 elderly people (average age:76.4 years) living on Amami Island who were independent in Instrumental Activities of daily Living (IADL) at the baseline survey conducted in 2005. The survey was conducted by interviews. There were 22 items for lifestyle, 13 items for functional capacity and 5 items for social attributes in the survey. The percentage of subjects who were independent in IADL at the time of the follow-up survey was 75.4%. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the degrees to which factors influenced independence. The results suggest that efforts to maintain social lifestyle and functional capacity may be useful for maintaining active independence in the elderly.
