The number of elderly men and women participaing in the study was 116 (average age: 78.1 years). The number of measurement items was 22 for lifestyle, 13 for functional capacity and 3 for motor ability. The results of the analysis indicate that lifestyle, motor ability, functional capacity and health perception are significantly correlated with each other. These results suggest that improvement of lifestyle in old age is considerably effective for preventing declines in functional capacity and motor ability, and for promoting successful aging.

The number of elderly men and women participating in the study was 221 (average age: 76.5 years). Haga's Quesionaire-22 was used as an indicator of lifestyle, with 22 points or higher (perfect score) indicating a healthy lifestyle. Information on 3 items of motor ability, 13 items of functional capacity and 5 items of social attributes was also obtained. The results of the analysis indicate that subjects with better lifestyle had higher average scores for motor ability and functional capacity than those with poor lifestyle. Lifestyle, motor ability, functional capacity, and physical condition were significantly correlated with each other. These results suggest that improvement of lifestyle in old age is considerably effective for preventing decline in functional capacity, motor ability and physical condition.

The number of elderly men and women participating in the study was 223 (average age: 76.4 years). The number of measurement items was 3 items of motor ability,13 items of functional capacity, 5 items of social attributes and subjective view of health. The results of the analysis indicate that subjects with the poor health group had lower scores for each item than those in the good health group. Significant correlations between subjective view of health and motor abilities, functional capacity and lifestyle were found. Height, weight, BMI, functional capacity and lifestyle in all subjects, were also associated with subjective view of health.

The subjects were 223 elderly people (average age:76.4 years) living on Amami Island who were independent in Instrumental Activities of daily Living (IADL) at the baseline survey conducted in 2005. The survey was conducted by interviews. There were 22 items for lifestyle, 13 items for functional capacity and 5 items for social attributes in the survey. The percentage of subjects who were independent in IADL at the time of the follow-up survey was 75.4%. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the degrees to which factors influenced independence. The results suggest that efforts to maintain social lifestyle and functional capacity may be useful for maintaining active independence in the elderly.
