《方法》関東近郊のシルバー人材センターに登録している高齢者19名を対象に、6か月間継続的に腹臥位を実施してもらい、導入時、3か月後、6か月後にリラックス効果判定のための客観的指標として、指尖脈波による心拍数、自律神経活動、リアプノフ指数を腹臥位前後で測定した。さらに主観的評価として、実施前後にThe rating of their emotions as defined in terms of relaxation（以下、RE尺度）を記載してもらった。
《結果》心拍数は、腹臥位導入時、3か月後、6か月後ともに有意に減少がみられ、3か月後から副交感神経の活動を表す高周波領域（High Frequency；以下、HF）に有意な増加がみられた。また、RE尺度は、導入時は4項目中1項目、3か月後は3項目、6か月後は4項目すべてに有意な増加がみられた。
《結論》心拍数、副交感神経の活動を表すHF、RE尺度の結果から、本研究における高齢者の腹臥位では、腹臥位導入3か月以降、腹臥位によるリラックス効果が期待できることが明らかとなった。, Objective: To clarify the relaxation effect of the prone position in individuals 65 years of age and older by comparing the effects at the time of initiation, three months later, and six months later.
Methods: We asked 19 people registered at a silver human resource center in the Kanto area who met the age criterion to continuously practice the prone position for six months. Heart rate, autonomic nerve activity, and Lyapunov index were measured before and after the prone position by fingertip pulse wave as objective indices to determine the relaxation effect at initiation, three months, and six months later. Participants were also asked to use the RE scale to subjectively rate their emotions in terms of relaxation before and after the prone practice.
Results: A significant reduction in heart rate was observed both at the initiation of practice of the prone position and after three and six months, whereas a significant increase in the high-frequency band （representative of parasympathetic activity）, was observed after three months. The RE scale showed a significant increase in one of four items at initiation, three items after three months, and all four items after six months of starting the program.
Conclusion: The values of parasympathetic nerve activity indices - heart rate, high-frequency band, and the RE scales - indicated that the prone position in elderly individuals can be expected to have a relaxing effect three months after starting the prone position practice.},
