*Illustrative imagePrevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases
Focusing on hypertension, which affects a large number of patients, the lab is working to establish methods for lifestyle guidance delivered by nurses and public health nurses, and to propose more efficient approaches. It also takes genetic predisposition into account, aiming to establish personalized treatment suited to each patient.
*Illustrative imageResearch on home medical care
As the center of medical care shifts from hospitals to the home, the lab considers scientific evidence to be lacking. In the OHCARE study, it collects information on disease management, nutrition, physical function, cognitive function, end-of-life care, and more. Through quantitative analysis, it examines related factors and aims to build evidence that leads to solving problems.
*Illustrative imageResearch on long-term care prevention
To increase the number of older adults who remain independent without needing long-term care, the lab explores the factors behind healthy longevity in the SONIC study from multiple perspectives, including medicine, dentistry, and psychology. The lab believes that putting the factors identified here into practice could become a goal for establishing methods of long-term care prevention.
*Illustrative imageSocial capital and health
The lab aims to clarify how community activities and hobby activities relate to indicators of trust and reciprocity and to individual health, and to contribute to promoting healthier communities in Japan, where the population is aging.
