This study caught hold of the most suitable living conditions of private room in nursing home. The survey depends on recording layout of property in private room and time study on two nursing homes. The result are abstracted as follows; 1) The elderly's style of living is affected by forms and equipments of room, the condition of mind and body, life style of elderly, the principles of care and management. 2) Private room need to be planed with changeable and various space to suit many kinds of mind and body of tenant and their teterioration. 3) Buffer space between private room and common space is used variously to care and communication between tenants.

本研究の目的は老年者の生理的反応特性の一環を明らかにするために, 中枢神経系指標 (脳波) と末梢神経系指標 (皮膚電位活動, 心拍) により聴覚誘発反応を捉え, 各指標上にみられた反応の差異を検討することにある.老年男性9名 (平均年齢71歳) と若年男性13名 (平均年齢27歳) の反応を比較した. 30回の音刺激を加算平均した脳波の結果からは両群間に差がみられなかったが, 皮膚電位活動, 心拍では音刺激に対する老年群の反応は若年群に比べて著しい低下を呈することが観察された. また老年群では若年群に比べて音刺激に対する慣れの成立が早い傾向にあった.老化に伴う神経線維数の減少などが, 末梢神経系を介する各指標の反応に及ぼす影響は大きいと考えた.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the house remodeling support system for the elderly. We administered questionnaires and conducted interviews with recipients of house remodeling grants in Edogawa-ku in Tokyo. The results are summarized as follows; for the elderly there are many difficulties of various types. It was found to be most expensive to remodel bath equipment. Regarding support system, we determined that the elderly need subsidy program, advice concerning methods of remodeling from specialists who have some knowledge about construction and the elderly, and a rental system for technical aid because some items are too expensive and are needed only short term.

Effects of aging on physical build - A longitudinal study of ten-year follow-up.

The Japanese Journal of Ergonomics (1988)

老化に伴う体格面での変動特性を, 縦断面的な計測手法により捉えた. 対象は69-71歳の男性178名, 女性205名であり, その5年後, および10年経過後に再計測を実施した.3回の集団検診をすべて受診できた者は男性57名, 女性63名にとどまった. これらの対象者の身体各部の寸法は, 5年ごとにほぼ均等な間隔で短縮を示した. 特に身長の短縮に性差が認められたことは, 高齢女性ほど脊椎の加齢的変化が強かったことを示唆している. 10年間の体格の変化と牛乳の摂取量, 総合的な活動能力, 外出の程度との間には対応関係が成立しており, 良好な保健行動 (栄養, 活動性) の継続は, 老化速度を遅延させうる因子として作用したものと考えた.

On influence of a physical difference at kitchen units to behavior of the handicapped and the normal able-bodied (1)

The Japanese Journal of Ergonomics (1978)

Keiko KODAMA Tamako HAYASHI Tetsuo TOKUDA Michihiro Yamada Masahisa Kodama

The differences between experimental group (the 9 wheel-chaired) and control group (the 11 normal able-bodied) on feelings which was occured by change of hight conditions of kitchen unit were measured by Semantic Differential Method and Nowlis's Check List of Mood. Compared with low level kitchen unit (experimental group: the hight of patella on each wheel-chair plus depth of sink, control group: stature/3+35cm), high level kitchen unit (plus 10cm to each hight) resulted in decline of image and mood of both group, but the tendency was appeared obviously for the experimental group. It was certifyed that the handicapped were effected directly from physical settings which didn't fit to their features by two kind of self-rating scales.
