A study was undertaken to investigate the life conditions of individuals in the Tokyo metropolis with higher brain dysfunction due to neurological disease. Data for this study was collected via interviews. Three hundred subjects were randomly selected from among 1, 234 respondents to a survey designed to determine the prevalence of higher brain dysfunction. Of these 300 subjects, 66 agreed to be interviewed. Many of the subjects had multiple diagnoses, including aphasia (n=32), attention disorders (n=32), and memory disorders (n=29). The interview was designed to determine what their daily activities were, what problems they faced in their daily routines, and who assisted them. The subjects indicated a higher rate of independence in performing three activities of daily living (eating, using the toilet, and ambulating) than in performing five instrumental activities of daily living (conducting business at banks and public offices, managing money, having relation with neighbors, shopping, and going out) (p<0.05, p<0.01, Wilcoxon rank sum test with Bonferroni correction). The individuals requiring assistance in their daily activities most often were helped by family members (97%). Half of the subject reported that they went out every day for a short time but that they stayed close to home. Only a few of the subjects took part in social involvement. The study revealed how people living with higher brain dysfunction due to neurological disease deal with various aspects of daily living.
