Abstract
This study aims at demonstrating the effectiveness of the use of cosmetics on elderly people with senile dementia symptoms. Our hypothesis is that makeup application might heighten their selfimage and that their senile dementia symptoms might be improved, or the progress of the symptoms might be slowed down. The subjects were elderly women who stayed at the aged people's health care facilities in Kyoto. The number was 19, who received more than 10 sessions of this cosmetic application. Effects of cosmetic application were measured by indices: (1) fundamental frequency of the voice, (2) time they spent looking at themselves in the mirror after makeup application, (3) the length of time they smiled during each session, etc.. Almost all subjects registered improved conditions. We report here two cases out of the above 19.
