Show answer

Correct answer 5

Key pointThe state between health and needing care is called frailty.

Explanation

Frailty (フレイル) is a state in which physical and mental reserve capacity declines with aging, placing the person between a healthy state and a state requiring long-term care. A key feature is that the person may return to a healthy state with appropriate support.

  • 1: Aging refers to aging itself, so it is incorrect.
  • 2: Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and strength due to aging, so it is incorrect.
  • 3: Locomotive syndrome is a state in which mobility has declined due to disorders of the locomotor organs (運動器), so it is incorrect.
  • 4: Homeostasis is the function that keeps the internal environment of the body constant (恒常性), so it is incorrect.
Explanation in Japanese

フレイルは、加齢に伴い心身の予備能力が低下し、健康な状態と要介護状態の中間にある状態を指します。適切な支援で健康な状態に戻れる可能性があるのが特徴です。

  • 1:エイジングは加齢・老化そのものを指すので誤り。
  • 2:サルコペニアは加齢による筋肉量・筋力の低下なので誤り。
  • 3:ロコモティブシンドロームは運動器の障害で移動機能が低下した状態なので誤り。
  • 4:ホメオスタシスは体内環境を一定に保つ働き(恒常性)なので誤り。
