The purpose of this study is to acquire data on the changes in the physical ability of the elderly due to the aging process and to improve the standard of clothing in relation to those changes. A questionnaire was administered to 971 subjects in five age groups (60, 65, 70, 75, 80) for each sex. The mean scale value for each question was calculated. Hayashi's Quantification Method III was applied to 24 physical functions related to the subjects' ability to get dressed and undressed. The following results were found: 1) When the elderly reach eighty, roughly 25% of them experience some difficulty in dressing and undressing, with 70% of the men and 95% of the women preferring loose-fitting elastic waist bands. 2) The structures obtained using Q III for 48 sample scores were calculated on the I and II Axes. Those of the elderly indicated a clear U-shape. With regard to criterion validity, a correlation was discovered between the age of the subjects and their scores. This means that as the age of the subjects increases, their ability to easily dress and undress themselves decreases. Such criteria has produced useful data in respect of designing garments for the elderly. 3) Elderly women produced much higher scores than elderly men. 4) Once they exceed the age of seventy, the elderly begin to experience difficulties getting dressed and undressed. It is clear that clothing which is easier to put on and remove must be developed. 5) People in their eighties experience more difficulties than those in their seventies, due to decreasing physical ability, especially shoulder flexibility and increasing joint pain. They prefer loose-fitting elastic waist bands as small buttons and snaps are difficult to work with. The most stable way of putting on socks was from the sitting position. It is clear, therefore, that special clothing should be designed and manufactured for this age group. (Received November 26, 2004; Accepted in revised form April 11, 2005)

The effect of temperature and pH on the yields of indigo and indirubin from indoxyl which was generated from indoxyl acetate was examined. In the indoxyl solution of pH 9-10 at 65-85•Ž, a significant amount of indirubin was produced in addition to indigo. In the case of indigo dyeing using fresh leaves of Strobilanthes cusia, a kind of indigo plants, a purple shade of dye can be achieved by merely heating the dye bath. This was explained by the relatively higher pH of the juice of the plant. In this condition, a yield of indirubin was promoted by heating. The indirubin dyeing consists of two processes, the production of indirubin in the fiber and the penetration of indirubin, which has already been produced in the dye bath, into the fiber. In the case of Polygonum tinctorium, indirubin could be dyed by making a mild alkaline juice from fresh leaves and by heating. (Received December 28, 2004; Accepted in revised form April 15, 2005)

To clarify the characteristics of breast vibration and brassiere dislocation during running, movements of five spots on the breast surface, that of the same five spots on transparent brassieres after removing brassiere caps to visualize the breast surface, and the clothing pressures of the corresponding five spots were simultaneously monitored using an image analyzing system. The subjects for our experiment were young women with had hemispheric breasts. Obtained data of those movements and pressure were analyzed using the discrete Fourier transform. The breasts in a brassiere were vibrated at the same frequency of running. The dislocation of the brassiere from the breast surface which was observed was associated with changes in the clothing pressure at the lower half of the brassiere. .Vibration of the breasts of the subjects wearing spots brassieres was move obvious in the vertical direction, while vibration of the breasts of the subjects wearing full-cup brassieres was more obvious in the horizontal direction.

Polyphenols distributed widely in vegetables, fruits and teas are likely to have beneficial effects on human health, because of their antioxidative, antimutagenic, and antitumor activities. The total polyphenol content in 24 species of wild grass was measured and compared with that in 16 vegetables by the Folin-Denis assay, using caffeic acid as a standard. The polyphenol content per 100 g of fresh plant was more than 0.1 g in all of the wild grass species, but in only 7 types of vegetable. Furthermore, values over 1 g were found in 6 of the wild grass species, but in none of the vegetables. These results indicate that wild grass may be a good source for physiologically active polyphenols. (Received September 11, 2004; Accepted in revised form April 7, 2005)

The purpose of this paper is to clarify an ideal way of constructing a life support network to enable elderly people in urban areas to receive prescribed care at home. There is a need to construct a social network to support their life on the basis of the long-term care insurance. In this survey, we interviewed 15 elderlies in 13 households in Higashiosaka City in Osaka prefecture. The results are as follows: 1) Most of the interviewees hope to lead their life independent of their children and have no resistance in receiving the social life support service. 2) Generally speaking, the interviewees maintain good relationship with neighbors, the fact of which give them a sense of security in the community they belong to. 3) They may be classified into three types in view of their relation with their children as well as the utilization of the social life support service; a type supported by family, a type mainly supported by the social life support service, and a self-support type. A great majority of our interviewees are classified as the type mainly supported by the social life support service or the self-support type.

The palatal pressure while eating and swallowing various sol and gel samples was measured with six transducers embedded in an artificial palate fixed to the human hard palate. The relationship between the palatal pressure pulses generated while swallowing and the texture of various food samples was examined. The swallowing pulse appearing at the end of mastication could be classified into three types, and different kinds of pulse appeared on the palate with different subjects. The palatal pressure pulse when swallowing appeared as a decompressed pulse, being as high as 40 kPa at the decompression peak for those food samples requiring long mastication. The start of the decompression pulse was later at the posterior than at the anterior part of the palatal retainer. The decompression area of the pulse for those food samples requiring long mastication was much greater than that for the samples requiring short mastication. It is suggested that the decompression pulse is associated with transfer of the bolus upon swallowing. (Received May 31, 2004; Accepted in revised form March 7, 2005)
