As an objective of human security, it is important to understand
the social system and to make more appropriate policies for people
based on the bio-psycho-social viewpoint of health advocated by the
World Health Organization (WHO). For countries with increasingly
large populations of older adults, aging-related disorders cause
many social handicaps. A comprehensive approach for integrating not
only medical, but also psychosocial and spiritual viewpoints is
needed for better health policy planning.During a risky situation
such as a major disaster, which can critically affect peoples
lives, people should utilize their brains more fully in order to
survive; i.e., to understand the situation around them, to make a
proper judgment call, and to choose their behaviors. All of these
approaches are associated with brain functions. Understanding the
situation primarily requires the posterior part of the brain,
especially the parietal lobe.Briefly, the occipital, temporal,
parietal, and frontal lobes are related to visual, auditory, other
sensory, and motor functions, respectively. Each lobe has primary
and secondary areas: The former is associated with primary
function, whereas the latter is related to association functions,
which add meaning to the primary information. In particular, visual
and auditory information should be fully integrated to understand
the situation and make a judgment call, which is the function of
the parietal lobe.Human Security: Social Support for the Health of
an Aging Population Based on Geriatric Behavioral Neurology is
meant to help readers understand the bio-psycho-social viewpoint
and bioethics of social support for elderly people. The second aim
is to understand the social support system and Quality of Life
(QOL) for handicapped and elderly people. Especially, the long-term
care insurance system for elderly people in Japan, which is a
well-organized system to support well-being in the elderly, needs
to be understood. Also, dementia is one of the important
age-related disorders that can affect not only patients themselves,
but also their families, community residents, and society. The
third objective is to understand dementia and dementing diseases,
not only from a medical perspective, but in terms of psychosocial
and spiritual aspects. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake of
2011, various cases of weakness due to the disaster were analyzed.
Most of them were previously assessed as a borderline condition
between healthy and dementia. Therefore, it is important to
routinely screen community residents for security.All risky
situations such as a disaster should be treated internationally.
The author recalls that one student told them that the Indonesian
government faces difficulties in preparing for a disaster with a
unified language. Indeed, more than 700 regional languages are
spoken in Indonesias numerous islands. However, disasters do not
select a language. The author is certain that there are some
lessons from their history that have not been recorded in a common
language. It is important to establish a network based not only on
local culture and language, but also a global proposal based on a
common language.The author hopes that young scientists in the next
generation will have an integrated perspective and will apply
science to human security worldwide.
