STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS FOR INTENSIFYING THE SYNCHRONIZATION OF DAILY BEHAVIORAL RHYTHM IN ORDER TO PROMOTE ACTIVITY AND QUALITY OF SLEEP IN THE ELDERLY

本研究的目的是发展系统的方法来加强日常行为节奏的同步，以促进活动和睡眠质量的老年人。本研究的主要研究成果包括以下四个部分。(1)基于遗传背景的生物节律个体间差异研究：通过时间生物学方法，我们证实了生物节律如口腔温度和握力的内部去节律化，并阐明了人类存在昼夜节律去节律的遗传背景。(2)为保持良好的睡眠质量和意识水平而进行的老年人日常行为节律的研究：针对在家的脑卒中患者和独立的老年人，新开发了老年人日常行为节律问卷。对问卷的信度和效度进行了研究。以白天α波功率谱密度为客观参数， 关于我们 意识水平。验证了α波功率谱密度与日常生活活动能力、日常生活体能之间的显著相关性。(3)理化因子同步化研究：调查问卷中包括高强度日光和进餐时间的问题，并评估理化因子在同步化中的作用。(4)老年人日常行为节律的社会同步性研究：采用社会同步性问卷和社会支持问卷，对老年人日常行为节律的社会同步性水平进行评估。α波功率谱密度与社会支持显著相关。此外，在社区水平上，老年人和儿童之间的代际沟通在日常行为节奏的社会同步中的作用得到了澄清。总之，系统的方法来评估老年人的日常行为节律的新发展，这是有用的评估活动和睡眠质量的老年人。少

The purpose of the present study is to develop systematic methods for intensifying the synchronization of daily behavioral rhythm in order to promote activity and quality of sleep in the elderly. Our research results were composed of four parts of studies as follows. (1) Study on interindividual differences of biological rhythm based on genetic background : Internal desynchronization of biological rhythms such as oral temperature and grip strength was documented by chronobiological procedures, and we have clarified that there is a genetic background of circadian desynchronism in human. (2) Study on daily behavioral rhythm of the elderly in order to preserve good quality of sleep and consciousness level : A questionnaire on daily behavioral-rhythm of the elderly was newly developed for stroke patients at home and independent elderly. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were studied. The power spectral density of alpha wave during daytime was measured as objective parameter for … More consciousness level. The significant correlation between power spectral density of alpha wave, activity of daily living, and physical fitness of daily living was verified. (3) Study on synchronization of physical and chemical agents : Questions on high intensity day light and timing of meal were included in a questionnaire, and effects of physical and chemical factors in the synchronization were evaluated. (4) Study on social synchronization of daily behavioral rhythm of the elderly : Items of social synchronization and social support were included in a questionnaire, and the level of social synchronization was evaluated. The significant correlation between power spectral density of alpha wave and social support was obtained. Furthermore, the role of intergeneration communication between the elderly and children in the social synchronization of daily behavioral rhythm was clarified in a community level. In conclusion, systematic approach for evaluating daily behavioral rhythm of the elderly is newly developed, which is useful for evaluating the activity and quality of sleep in the elderly. Less
