Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between socially frail older adults and the Rest-Activity Rhythm (RAR) construct, with social participation self-efficacy as an intermediate mediator.

Basic objectives -Others

In this study, we utilize an intermediate mediation model to estimate how social participation self-efficacy affects the already reported model of rhythm stability and social frailty as an intermediate mediator.

Key secondary outcomes

(1) Basic information
Gender, age, medical history, comorbidities, medications, Body Mass Index (BMI), years of education, physical frailty measurements (weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, walking speed, and physical inactivity) using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria (J-CHS criteria), cognitive function measurements using the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology functional assessment tool (NCGG-FAT), and the Geriatric depression scale ), cognitive function measures using the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology functional assessment tool (NCGG-FAT), the Geriatric depression scale-15 (GDS-15), the Geriatric depression scale (GDS-15), the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology functional assessment tool (NCGG-FAT). (2) Rest-Activity (1) Cognitive function (2) Social frailty (3) Social depression (4) Social frailty (5) Social depression (6) Social depression (7) Social frailty (8) Social depression (9) Social frailty (10) Social depression (11) Social depression (12) Social depression (13) Social frailty (14)
(2) Measurement of Rest-Activity Rhythm (RAR) index
A wearable device, Motionwatch8 (CamNtech, UK), will be used to measure the number of steps taken in daily life and the amount of sleep at night. Each subject wears the wearable device on the non-dominant hand for 7 consecutive days, and Motionwatch8 is worn on the wrist of the non-dominant hand for 7 consecutive days. Body movements are detected by the device's built-in 3-axis acceleration sensor, and Activity Count (AC) is recorded for each minute of physical activity. The recorded data are then output using analysis software Motionware (CamNtech, UK) and Actiware (Philips, USA), and converted into RAR indices.

The Self-efficacy for Social Participation scale (SOSA), a measure of self-efficacy for social participation among community-dwelling elderly reported in 2023, will be used as an assessment instrument in this study. The scale is classified into four categories: instrumental self-efficacy, economic self-efficacy, interpersonal self-efficacy, and cultural self-efficacy, and consists of three sub-items each, for a total of 12 items. Each item is self-rated on a scale of 0 to 3 (0: not at all confident, 3: very confident), for a total score ranging from 0 to 36. The higher the score, the higher the social participation self-efficacy is rated. Motionwatch8 is worn on the wrist of the subject's non-dominant hand for 7 consecutive days, and its built-in 3-axis acceleration sensor detects body movements and records Activity Count (AC) per minute as physical activity. The degree of social participation is also measured as an index of social participation. Regarding the relationship between social frailty and RAR, which is graded as one indicator of the degree of social participation, a previous study by Kume et al. (2023) showed a relationship between rhythm stability, one of the RAR indicators, and the maintenance and improvement of social frailty8). Therefore, this study will utilize an intermediate mediation model to estimate how social participation self-efficacy affects the already reported model between rhythm stability and social frailty as an intermediate mediator.
