  <p><b>Aim</b>: To investigate whether the presence of common health education (HE) and a healthcare administrator (HA) at a worksite would be associated with a lower prevalence of current smoking, current daily alcohol consumption, and obesity among employees at real-world, small-to-medium worksites.</p><p><b>Methods</b>: The present cross-sectional study included 72,704 employees aged 35–59 years at 5,910 small-to-medium companies in Okinawa, Japan. Odds ratios were calculated by sex for each factor for HE (information provision alone, lecture classes alone, or both services) presence and HA presence, using a multilevel logistic regression model, with HE absence (neither) and HA absence, respectively, serving as the reference.</p><p><b>Results</b>: The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for current smoking among men and women in the combined HE services group were 0.80 (0.68–0.93) and 0.68 (0.52–0.88), respectively, after adjusting for age, HA status, medication status, and basic worksite characteristics. The adjusted odds ratios for current daily alcohol consumption among men and women in the combined HE services group were 0.81 (0.69–0.95) and 0.84 (0.69–1.02), respectively. However, the four HE groups had similar odds of obesity in both men and women. The HA-present and HA-absent groups had similar odds of all outcomes in both men and women, except that men in the HA-present group had lower odds of current daily alcohol consumption: 0.92 (0.86–0.98).</p><p><b>Conclusions</b>: The combined HE services presence was associated with lower odds of current smoking and daily alcohol consumption among employees, whereas HA presence was associated with lower odds of daily alcohol consumption among men.</p>

• Simple Subjective Sleep Quality and Blood Pressure in Individuals With Optimal Sleep Duration: A Cross-Sectional Study

  Taira, K; Fukumine, Y; Nakamura, K

  BACKGROUND: An individual's simple subjective feeling of having poor sleep quality usually occurs in combination with short sleep duration. Previous studies have mainly investigated the association between simple subjective sleep quality and blood pressure in a general population without considering the complicated issue regarding poor sleep quality and short sleep duration. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate whether poor sleep quality was associated with increased blood pressure in individuals with optimal sleep duration. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 169 residents aged ≥ 18 years who lived in a remote island of Okinawa, Japan. The participants had a sleep duration of 6 - 7.9 h/day on weekdays and were not taking either sleep medication or antihypertensive medication. Analysis of covariance was used to compare systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the participants grouped according to simple subjective sleep quality. RESULTS: Of the 169 participants, 51 (30.2%) reported that their sleep quality was poor. After adjustment for age, sex, and other potential confounders including sleep duration within optimal levels, the participants aged ≤ 49 years had mean (95% confidence interval) systolic and diastolic blood pressures (mm Hg) of 121.0 (114.7 - 127.3) and 68.7 (63.8 - 73.6) in the good sleep quality group, and 127.8 (120.7 - 134.9) and 71.8 (66.2 - 77.3) in the poor sleep quality group (P = 0.01 and P = 0.14, respectively). However, in those aged ≥ 50 years, the corresponding means were 130.6 (121.3 - 139.8) and 79.1 (73.5 - 84.7) in the good-quality group and 126.9 (114.6 - 139.2) and 78.0 (70.5 - 85.4) in the poor-quality group (P = 0.43 and P = 0.68, respectively). There was a statistically significant interaction between simple subjective sleep quality and age for systolic blood pressure (P value for interaction = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that an individual's simple subjective feeling of poor sleep quality was associated with increased systolic blood pressure in participants aged ≤ 49 years with optimal sleep duration. These findings highlight the importance of easily assessing simple subjective sleep quality in clinical settings even in individuals with optimal sleep duration, in order to prevent and manage hypertension.

• Oral frailty, appetite and dietary variety in late-stage older adults: A cross-sectional study (the STudy of lAte-stage oldeR adulTs in Tottori; START Tottori)

  AIM: Efforts to combat frailty and preserve good health in older adults have highlighted oral frailty as an early indicator of overall frailty. Individuals showing oral frailty are at an elevated risk of insufficient nutritional intake compared with those without oral frailty; however, underlying mechanisms remain poorly explored. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to examine the link between oral frailty and undernutrition, especially regarding poor appetite and low dietary diversity. METHODS: The analysis included 2727 late-stage older adults (mean age 79.9 ± 4.3 years) who underwent dental checkups in a prefecture in Japan from 2016 to 2020. The examination involved a questionnaire survey (covering basic information, frailty screening index, appetite index: Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire; and dietary variety: Dietary Variety Score) and a measurement survey (including intraoral confirmation, oral diadochokinesis and masticatory efficiency test). Individuals with three or more indications of poor oral function, identified through oral function assessment, were defined as showing oral frailty. Binomial logistic regression and path analyses examined associations among oral frailty, Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire and Dietary Variety Score. RESULTS: Among those analyzed, 1208 (44.3%) participants were categorized into the oral frailty group. Binomial logistic regression analysis showed that Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (odds ratio for oral frailty per 1-point increase 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.84-0.93) and Dietary Variety Score (odds ratio 0.95, 95% confidence interval 0.92-0.98) were significantly associated with oral frailty. The path analysis showed individual associations between each examined factor. CONCLUSIONS: Oral frailty was associated with decreased appetite and dietary variety in late-stage older adults.

  我々は当初,舌痛症が疑われたが再燃を繰り返すうちに神経痛様の症状を呈するようになり,三叉神経痛と診断され,最終的にはガンマナイフが施行された症例を経験したので報告する.患者は76歳女性で,初診時,舌の痛みは安静時の痛みで,左舌縁を触診するとかえって痛みは軽快した.舌痛に対してラフチジンが著効したが,再燃を繰り返した.7年後,会話の始めに,左下顎全体に走行する発作性の鈍痛が出現するようになった.前三叉神経痛(Pretrigeminal neuralgia)の可能性を考慮し,カルバマゼピンを100mg/日から投与開始した.これにより一時は痛みが完全に消退したが,数ヵ月後には再燃したため,三叉神経痛を疑い脳神経外科に対診した.同科のMR画像で左三叉神経起始部を動脈が圧迫する所見が認められ,臨床症状,カルバマゼピンの効果から,典型的三叉神経痛と診断された.痛みはカルバマゼピンで一時的には良好にコントロールされたが,4年後には400mg/日の投与でもコントロール困難になった.87歳と高齢であったため,手術の適応はなくガンマナイフが施行された.その後約2年経過した現在,合併症はなくカルバマゼピン200mgの服用下で痛みは良好にコントロールされている.(著者抄録)
