Abstract

The purpose of this study is to visualize the physical and mental health condition and problems of middle-aged and elderly people participating in salons and Bon dances in the Keihoku Region through a questionnaire survey. The Keihoku Region has a population of 3, 556 people aged 40 and over, and the sample data of 88 people with an average age of 75.6 (41 to 93) was obtained from the participants from salons, etc. (sampling rate 2.5%). The results show that the percentage of people who lead a healthy lifestyle such as eating, chewing, sleeping, not smoking, abstaining from alcohol, and exercising was high. Twenty (23.8%) lived alone, and all lived by preparing their own meals. As problems in daily life, the response rate of “transportation” and “shopping” was high. In terms of transportation, the study considered there were challenges in popularizing the means of transportation other than buses and private cars, and for shopping, moving the mobile sales vehicles to a wider area. In addition to the results of this survey, it is necessary to survey the middle-aged and elderly people who do not participate in community activities such as salons, and to grasp the health condition of all residents in the Keihoku Region.
