The issues of aging will also be\r\ncommon throughout Asia in the near future. From the perspective of comprehensive community health care,\r\nthe Area of Community Healthcare is conducting research regarding oral functions such as ingestion (eating)\r\nand deglutition (swallowing), as well as articulation (speaking) which are all crucial issues for the quality of\r\nlife of the elderly.<br>\r\nOur recent research extended into the following areas; (1) Development of a program to improve overall oral\r\nfunction based on an evaluation of the risk of dysphagia in the elderly and problems with their articulatory\r\nmovement; (2) Diminished function of ingestion and deglutition and the risk of insuffi cient nutrition in longterm\r\ncare facilities; (3) The relationship between the oral functions of the elderly in the community and their\r\nquality of life in terms of health;\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/soshiki\/04toukatsu\/images\/area04.jpg\" alt=\"Community Healthcare\" width=\"489\" height=\"328\" class=\"img-R\">and (4) Development of a check\r\nlist for chewing ability that can be\r\nused during health and nutrition\r\ncounseling. For the field surveys,\r\nwe developed the Dysphagia Risk\r\nAssessment for the Communitydwelling\r\nElderly (DRACE, see Chart),\r\nto evaluate the needs of treatment\r\nand rehabilitation for dysphagia\r\namong the elderly. Furthermore, we\r\nhave utilized the outcomes of the\r\nresearch in related human resource\r\ndevelopment courses conducted\r\nby NIPH, and introduced our\r\nresearch findings to public health\r\nprofessionals.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><!--main end-->\r\n<\/div><!--col end-->\r\n<!------[myphp file='menu-en-footer']------->\r\n<\/div><!--row end-->\r\n<\/div><!------- container-fluid end -------->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Research Departments &nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Research Managing Director&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Area on Com &hellip; <p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/en\/soshiki-en\/04toukatsu-en\/area04-en\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Area on Community Healthcare&#8221; \u306e<\/span>\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1568,"menu_order":198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2105"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4451,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2105\/revisions\/4451"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
