Assessment

Primary outcomes

Occurrence of underlying diseases.
We identified the underlying diseases based on two sources. First was the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11). The following chapters in ICD-11 were referenced: Chapter 2, Neoplasms; Chapter 4, Diseases of the blood or blood-forming organs; Chapter 5, Endocrine, nutrition, or metabolic diseases; Chapter 6, Mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders; Chapter 8, Diseases of the nervous system; Chapter 11, Diseases of the circulatory system; Chapter 12, Diseases of the respiratory system; Chapter 13, Diseases of the digestive system; Chapter 14, Diseases of the skin; and Chapter 15, Diseases of the musculoskeletal system or connective tissue. The second source was a book entitled Balneology, Climatology and Physical Medicine (in Japanese) published by the Japanese Society of Balneology, Climatology and Physical Medicine in 2014. From this source, we adopted the section "Medical treatment for specific diseases".

Results

Among the 1,261 patients who participated, there was no significant difference in age between males (n=508, 72.8yrs.) and females (n=753, 73.5yrs.). There was also no significant age difference between males (number of diseases: 2.7pts.) and females (number of diseases: 2.7pts.) in the occurrence of underlying diseases. Frequency and time of daily hot water bathing at home were not associated with the occurrence of underlying diseases. However, compared with participants who utilized hot water spa at least once a week, the occurrence of underlying diseases was significantly associated with bathing frequency: one to three times per month (OR 2.72, 95% CI: 1.63-4.52); twice or five times a year (OR 1.92, 95% CI: 1.25-2.94).
In conclusion, lower frequency of hot water spa bathing was significantly associated with increased risk on the occurrence of underlying diseases in middle-aged and elderly ambulatory patients.

The exposure group in this study is ambulatory patients aged 60-85 years are being treated by certified medical doctors of the Japanese Society Balneology, Climatology and Physical Medicine during October 1-7, 2018. Frequency and time if daily bathing and hot spa bathing is recorded for these patients, along with the occurrence of underlying diseases. Finding from the exposure group are compared with those from a low frequency-bathing group and a short time-bathing group. The methodology of this study was approved by the Ethics Board of Tokyo University of Agriculture (No.1809).
