“…Regarding the prevalence of the indices in LS risk stages 1 and 2, we found that they exist in all of the age groups and indicated that LS risk was increased in participants over the age of 45. Our data indicated a gradual increase with advancing age as with our previous report . Moreover, there were no significant differences between the male groups, while participants aged ≥45 years in the female's group showed significantly higher percentages of LS compared with aged <45.…”

“…Our data indicated a gradual increase with advancing age as with our previous report. 11 Moreover, there were no significant differences between the male groups, while participants aged ≥45 years in the female's group showed significantly higher percentages of LS compared with aged <45. As one of the causes of sex difference, the effect of testosterone which has protein anabolism and promotes muscle mass development is known.…”

“…Thus, differences in LS status among different age groups are important to understand. We have just reported the prevalence of LS and the LS level among young‐ and middle‐aged adult workers . However, the relationships between lifestyle habits such as dietary habits and LS are unknown.…”

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.

“…7 , 8 Originally, these LT exercises were developed for older people, as few cases of LS in young and middle‐aged adults have been reported. 9 A previous study 9 found that about 20% of young and middle‐aged workers had LS. From this point of view, the early detection of, and early interventions for, LS are important for decreasing the number of older people who will require nursing care in the future.…”

Objectives Locomotion training (LT) consisting of single‐leg standing and squatting was developed to help prevent locomotive syndrome (LS), and is typically used in older people. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of LT on young and middle‐aged people. Methods This study was performed at two companies. Workers in company A engaged in LT five times/week for 1 year, whereas workers in company B did not. Baseline and follow‐up checkups consisted of questionnaires and physical performance tests, including three kinds of locomotion tests. Results In total, 88 and 101 workers in companies A and B, respectively, met the inclusion criteria. LS stage, stand‐up test results, and scores on a geriatric locomotive function scale significantly improved among workers in company A, but only stand‐up test results significantly improved among workers in company B. Quadriceps power increased in company A, but did not change in company B. Especially, workers with LS in company A had more significant changes than those without LS and those in company B. Conclusions The results of this longitudinal study suggest that LT is useful even for young and middle‐aged workers. LT was especially more effective for workers than those without LS.

“…Thus, the purpose of this study was to propose potential preventive measures against future mobility impairments and muscle loss in healthy young adults by comprehensively evaluating their status of frailty, locomotive syndrome, and sarcopenia. In this study, we decided that the three diagnostic criteria mainly used in older adults are also applied to young adults, because it has been reported that there are a certain proportion of even young adults who have presarcopenia 7,8) or locomotive syndrome 13) . This suggests that it is important to examine the values of the three diagnostic criteria regardless of age.…”
