In Japan, where the proportion of the elderly population is rapidly increasing, it is an urgent issue that the senior elderly (aged 75 or more) can prolong the period when they are able to live independently. In this study, we tracked the senior elderly in K City for four years, and the following measures taken consciously by themselves were proved to be effective for the maintenance and improvement of their daily lives ; early treatment, enjoying going out, participating in community events and volunteer activities, and working while they can. In addition, we intervened in exercise classes and nutrition courses for the senior elderly with a tendency of dementia, and improvements of cognitive and physical functions were indicated in both measures.

在老年人口比例迅速增加的日本，高龄老人（75岁以上）能够独立生活的时间能否延长是一个紧迫的问题。本研究对K市老年人进行了为期4年的跟踪调查，发现老年人自觉采取的以下措施对维持和改善老年人的日常生活是有效的：早期治疗、喜欢外出、参加社区活动和志愿者活动、在力所能及的时候工作。此外，我们还对有痴呆倾向的老年人进行了运动课和营养课程的干预，这两项措施都表明认知和身体功能有所改善。
