Declarations
:
: The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (No. 元健イ事3146). Informed consent was obtained from participants according to the procedure described below. When participants attended the meetings, staff told them that they did not have to reveal their names. Therefore, signed consent forms could not be obtained. At the beginning of each meeting, staff explained verbally to participants that they would not be recorded or videotaped, but that they would record what was discussed at the meeting in handwritten notes and that the data would be presented at scientific meetings and published in scientific journals, and cautioned them not to identify themselves personally. Furthermore, the entrance to this CBPR center clearly states that the activities conducted here will be presented at scientific meetings and published in scientific journals and that those who do not wish to will not be part of the presentation if they wish.
