Abstract
閉経後中高年女性（閉経後女性）に対する集団ダンス・ムーブメントセラピー（DMT）のストレスケア効果を明らかにする実験を行った。（研究１）被験者７名が50分間のDMTを１回実施した（対照は椅子坐位安静）。短期的な感情の改善，更年期症状についての認知に改善が認められた。（研究２）被験者28名を，DMT，静的日常活動（Life），歩行バランス運動（Walk）にランダムに割り付け，90分間の活動に13週間計16回参加させた。DMT群では短期的な身体的心理的ストレス緩和や感情の改善，長期的な社会的ストレス緩和，DMTや体調についての肯定的認知（の高まり），早朝尿中の17-ケトステロイド硫酸抱合体（17-KS-S）の生体修復方向への増加を認めた（Walk群：メンタルヘルス増悪傾向，17-KS-S増加せず。Life群：メンタルヘルス改善，17-KS-S変化なし）。他の活動に比し，DMTは閉経後女性の健康を心身ともにホリスティックに改善すると考えられる。
The Stress reduction effects of group dance/movement therapy (DMT) on postmenopausal middle-aged and elderly women were considered from improvements in mental health and stress-related hormonal changes. In the first of two experiments, seven subjects were asked to perform 50 minutes of DMT (Control day:sitting rest position)late in the evening. DMT had a positive influence not only on emotions,but also on the cognition of menopausal symptoms. In the second experiment,28 subjects were allocated randomly to DMT, walking exercises for balance (Walk) and static activities of life (Life). The Subjects of each group participated in sixteen 90-minute activity sessions over 13 weeks. DMT achieved short-term improvements in the emotional, psychological or physiological stress of subjects, long-term beneficial effects on social stress of relationships, improved the cognition of DMT or the physical condition of subjects themselves, and increased the amount of 17-Ketosteroid-sulfates (17-KS-S)in the subjects morning urine (Walk:Slightly detrimental to mental health, Life:Beneficial to mental health, both groups:no change in 17-KS-S). 17-KS-S is derived from DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate) and indicates the adaptive capacity of the individual against various stressors. The results of both experiments suggest that DMT comprehensively improves the psychosomatic health of postmenopausal women.
