Category 2: Quality of Life

In Japan, the world’s most rapidly aging country, health promotion services are often provided for elderly people, especially frail elderly and disabled people. However, in 2010, more than 60% of elderly people considered themselves to be “healthy” (Cabinet Office, white paper on aging society, 2010). It is therefore also necessary to enhance services for health promotion among these healthy elderly people. Previous studies have reported the needs of healthy elderly people with respect to health promotion. However, it is also necessary to clarify how healthy elderly people make use of health promotion resources. The present research aimed to clarify how healthy elderly people control their health condition. By focusing on the viewpoints of healthy elderly people, this study is expected to contribute to the enhancement of health promotion services in order to improve the health and life satisfaction among elderly people.
