Japanese elders experiencing stroke or cardiac disease use embodied language, linking feelings and time words to blood pressure. Stroke survivors showed higher blood pressure post-conversation compared to cardiac patients.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistic analysis
  • Health psychology
  • Cardiovascular research

Background:

  • Embodied language connects emotional expression and physiological responses.
  • Understanding health experiences in aging populations is crucial.
  • Previous research has not extensively explored embodied language in post-stroke or cardiac patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate embodied language in Japanese elders following stroke or cardiac disease.
  • To examine the relationship between subjective feelings, temporal word use, and blood pressure.
  • To describe how health experiences are linguistically and physiologically represented.

Main Methods:

  • Simultaneous recording of blood pressure and linguistic data during health experience descriptions.

  • Utilized tonometric monitoring for blood pressure and linguistic analysis software for word use.
  • Employed descriptive and nonparametric statistical analyses on data from 17 cardiac and 20 stroke participants.

    • Main Results:

    • Stroke participants exhibited elevated blood pressure post-conversation compared to cardiac participants.
    • Distinct patterns emerged in the correlation between word use and blood pressure between the two groups.
    • Temporal word usage showed particularly contrasting relationships with blood pressure in stroke versus cardiac patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides insights into the embodied language of Japanese elders after significant health events.
    • Findings highlight differences in physiological responses and linguistic expression between stroke and cardiac patient groups.
    • This research underscores the importance of cultural context and shared values in understanding health experiences.
