“…Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between exercise habits and LS among community-dwelling people. [28][29][30] Kota et al 31) reported that home exercise intervention led to improved physical function in communitydwelling elderly individuals. Maruya et al 32) showed the effectiveness of a 6-month exercise program for improving GLFS-25 scores.…”

Objectives: This longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the effect of acquisition of an exercise habit on locomotive dysfunction (LD). Methods: The subjects were 121 male and 196 female volunteers aged more than 50 years who attended health checkups in Toei, central Japan, in 2012 and 2014. We divided the subjects into three groups: an acquiring exercise group (Ac-Ex) composed of those who acquired an exercise habit between 2012 and 2014, a non-exercise group (Non-Ex) who did not acquire an exercise habit, and an exercise group (Ex) who already had an exercise habit in 2012. We compared the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25) score among the three groups. Results: In men in the Ac-Ex group, the GLFS-25 score improved significantly between 2012 and 2014 (P=0.046), and sub-analysis of the GLFS-25 responses showed that fundamental and instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) improved significantly. In women in the Ac-Ex group, the prevalence of radiologically diagnosed knee osteoarthritis was significantly higher (P=0.027) than that for the other two groups, and there was no significant improvement in GLFS-25 score over the 2-year period. Conclusions: The acquisition of an exercise habit had a positive effect on the locomotive function in men. Orthopedic surgeons must enlighten people on the need for a continuous exercise habit.

“…In Japan, Akune et al reported that exercise habits during middle age were associated with a lower prevalence of sarcopenia, which is one of the main causes of LS. Furthermore, Nishimura et al recently reported that exercise habits during middle age contribute to preventing LS in old age. The current results revealed that UCLA scores in the No‐LS group were significantly greater than those in the LS group, suggesting that lower levels of physical activity can contribute to LS, even in young‐ and middle‐aged adults.…”

Objectives Although many studies have examined locomotive syndrome ( LS ) among elderly people, few studies have examined LS in young‐ and middle‐aged adults. This study aimed to provide basic data on the epidemiological characteristics of LS , including in young‐ and middle‐aged adults. Method We conducted a cross‐sectional survey of a nonrandom sample of 852 adults aged 18–64 (678 males, 174 females) working in five companies in Japan, between December 2015 and February 2018. LS stage was determined using the criteria proposed by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association ( JOA ). LS stage 0 was defined as No‐ LS , and stages 1 and 2 were defined as LS . Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent relationship between LS and sociodemographic, smoking, alcohol drinking ( AD ), frequency of breakfast consumption ( FBC ), dietary variety score ( DVS ), and the University of California Los Angeles ( UCLA ) activity score after adjusting for age and sex. Results We found that 23.1% of participants were evaluated as LS , including 21.5% of males and 29.3% of females ( P < 0.05). Participants aged ≥45 years exhibited higher rates of LS (males: 23.1%, females: 43.6%) compared with those aged <45 years ( P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, body mass index ( BMI ), AD , UCLA activity score, and FBC were also related to LS . Conclusion Education initiatives about LS should be targeted not only to elderly populations but also to young‐ and middle‐aged adults in the workplace.

“…The effects of physical activity and exercise on LS risk have mostly been studied among the general population, using subjects with no regular exercise habits as the control group. Regular exercise habit in middle age has been reported to be an important factor in protection against LS in older years [18]. However, the long-term effects of different levels of intensity, bodily collision, and physical contact during exercise on the risk of LS have not been clarified.…”

Background Among former Olympic-level athletes, engagement in different sport disciplines has been associated with mortality risk in subsequent years. However, limited evidence is available on whether engagement in different sport disciplines at a young age is associated with locomotive syndrome (LS) risk later in life. This study examined the relationship between engagement in different sport disciplines during university years and LS risk in older age among former university athletes. Methods Participants were 274 middle-aged and 294 older men alumni who graduated from a school of physical education in Japan. LS risk was defined as answering “yes” to any of the Loco-check questions. Data on university sports club membership were collected using questionnaires. University clubs were classified into three groups of cardiovascular intensity (low, moderate, high), following the classification system of sport disciplines by the American College of Cardiology. This classification considers the static and dynamic components of an activity, which correspond to the estimated percent of maximal voluntary contraction reached and maximal oxygen uptake achieved, respectively. University clubs were grouped based on the risk of bodily collision (no, yes) and extent of physical contact (low, moderate, high). Relationships between engagement in different sport disciplines and LS risk were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models, and adjusted for age, height, weight, joint disease, habitual exercise, and smoking and drinking status. Results Adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals associated with the low, moderate, and high cardiovascular intensity sports were 1.00 (reference), 0.48 (0.22–1.06, P = 0.070), and 0.44 (0.20–0.97, P = 0.042) in older men, respectively; however, there was no significant association between these parameters among middle-aged men. Engagement in sports associated with physical contact and collision did not affect LS risk in either group. Conclusions Engagement in sports associated with high cardiovascular intensity during university years may reduce the risk of LS in later life. Encouraging young people to participate in such activities might help reduce LS prevalence among older populations.
