活動と脳の健康

摘要

It is required to prevent geriatric syndromes as well as lifestyle diseases to prevent dementia. Physical, cognitive and social activities may play a critical roll to prevent geriatric syndromes and dementia. It is also supposed to be effective for promotion of activities by older adults to suggest various forms of activities which consist of those three types of activity. In the future, it is necessary to confirm the short-term efficacy of various forms of activities for increasing cognitive function and to conduct large studies to determine if it is possible to delay the onset of dementia in the long term.%現在，認知症を予防できる明確な方法は明示されていないが，発症遅延を実現できる可能性のある介入として身体や認知的活動の促進が挙げられる.これらの活動を担保する社会的ネットワークを構築し，高齢者が社会参加できる場を創出していくことが，継続した認知症予防活動を実現するために必要とされる.また，今後は介入内容のみではなく，介入期間，頻度，強度，組合せなど，実際に活動処方するために必要な知見を集積する必要がある.
