“…Japanese studies [ 49 – 51 ], including the Japan National Health and Nutrition Survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare [ 52 ], have simply measured frequencies and durations of exercise in a typical week. Such studies have included all intensities of exercise behavior and have not limited the intensities to the moderate-to-vigorous range.…”

Background Although self-regulation interventions are effective in promoting exercise behaviors, moderators and mediators of interventions among older adults are not well established. This study aimed to examine whether (1) self-regulation intervention promoted exercise behavior, (2) health literacy and habit strength moderated the intervention effect, and (3) self-regulation and habit strength mediated the intervention effect among older adults. Methods This study was a randomized, non-blinded, controlled crossover trial. The baseline questionnaire survey assessed the average amount of exercise time per day, self-regulation, habit strength, health literacy, and socio-demographic factors. After the baseline survey, 393 community-dwelling older adults were randomly assigned to either the immediate intervention or the delayed intervention group. For the immediate group, print-based materials were provided once a week for 7 weeks before a second questionnaire survey. For the delayed group, the materials were provided only after the second survey. Finally, a third survey was conducted for both groups. Results The mixed models showed that the average exercise time was increased after the intervention in both groups. Multiple regression analyses revealed that no factor moderated the intervention effect. From the path analyses, the mediating effect of self-regulation on the relationship between intervention and changes in average exercise time was supported, but the mediating role of habit strength was not clearly indicated. Conclusions Although the mediating roles of habit strength for the intervention effects are still inconclusive, self-regulation intervention can promote exercise behavior among older adults, regardless of their health literacy level, habit strength, and socio-demographic characteristics.

“…Following research trends in Japan (Chen et al, 2013;Harada, in press;Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, 2020;Sugisawa et al, 2020), at each wave the survey asked individuals to indicate how many days they engaged in exercise in a usual week (0 to 7 days).…”

Summary Identifying modifiable determinants of behavior is essential for developing effective strategies to promote health behaviors among older adults. Although social networks are potentially modifiable determinants of health behaviors, their longitudinal associations have not been established in previous studies. The present study examined whether a larger social network is associated with higher dietary variety, longer time spent exercising and shorter time spent viewing TV among older adults. This is a longitudinal study. The data of 908 Japanese older adults were obtained through a three-wave questionnaire survey (Wave 1, December 2017 to January 2018; Wave 2, after 1 year; Wave 3, after 3 years) and analyzed. In each wave of the survey, dietary variety (dietary variety score), exercise time (hours per day), TV viewing time (hours per day) and social network (family and friend subscales of the Japanese version of the abbreviated Lubben Social Network Scale) were measured. The present study used latent growth, cross-lagged and simultaneous effect models to investigate the longitudinal associations of family and friend social networks with dietary variety, exercise time and TV viewing time. However, these models did not show clear and robust associations. Whether social networks are determinants of health behaviors among older adults remains inconclusive.
