ABSTRACT
Senile patients with heart disease were evaluated in order to study the correlation between their mental and physical activities in daily life. Mental activity was classified using Hasegawa's dementia scale, and physical activity was measured by the number of steps per day recorded with a passimeter. It was found that;<BR>1) Hasegawa's dementia score was positively related to the number of steps.<BR>2) Hasegawa's dementia score was significantly increased after walking training for 1 year.<BR>Thus it is suggested that appropriate physical exercise is necessary for maintaining or increasing mental activity in aged patients with circulatory disease.
