项目摘要

The life expectancy of the Japanese is estimated to he longest in the world. In the present time, active longevity, instead of frail long life, is expected in Japan. In this study, the elderly people in an isolated island of Okinawa were sociologically arid medically evaluated whether their living is active or not.The number of over 65-year-old people in the island was seven hundred-eighteen according to the national census in 1975. Among them, one hundred-seven elderly people turned out to be living in the same island in 1995 when twenty years had passed since 1975. Other persons had passed away or moved out from the island during the twenty years. Ninety -eight elderly people among them were evaluated whether they were active or not on the basis of several criteria for clarifying their activities of daily living (ADL).Among ninety-eight elderly people, twenty-nine people in hospitals were judged to be disable in bed. Eventually, activities of daily living were analyzed on sixty-nine … More elderly people (21 men and 48 women, average age : 92 years) in their own homes according to the criteria prepared by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Sixty-. elderly people were classified in rank j or A, active longevity, in the criteria. Namely, 67% of ninety-eight elderly people were active.Among the active sixty-six elderly people forty-nine people (14 men and 35 women, average age : 92 years) were medically examined in their own homes. They were free of severe disorders, however, 47% of the elderly were found to have cardiovascular abnormalities such as mild hypertension, arrythmia, edema or heart murmur by physical examination. Medical management against the above-mentioned abnormalities appears to be helpful for preventing not only another severer disease but also disability. A merely small number of the elderly people showed abnormalities in the examination of peripheral blood cell, blood chemistry and immunoglobulin.In conclusion, approximately 70% of the elderly people living in their own homes were active in the daily living and they were free of severe disorders.

日本人的预期寿命估计是世界上最长的。在目前的时间，积极长寿，而不是脆弱的长寿，预计在日本。根据1975年全国人口普查资料，冲绳县冲绳65岁以上的老年人为7118人。其中，107名老人在1995年居住在同一个岛上，而1975年已经过去了20年。在这二十年里，其他人已经去世或从岛上搬走了。对其中98例老年人进行了日常生活活动能力（ADL）评定，其中29例住院老年人被判定为卧床不起。最后，分析了69名患者的日常生活活动。 ...更多信息根据卫生和福利部制定的标准，老年人（21名男子和48名妇女，平均年龄：92岁）在自己家中生活。六十岁。在标准中，老年人被分为j级或A级，即活跃寿命。也就是说，98名老年人中有67%是活跃的，在活跃的66名老年人中，有49人（14名男性和35名女性，平均年龄：92岁）在自己家中接受了医疗检查。他们没有严重的疾病，但是，47%的老年人被发现有心血管异常，如轻度高血压，心律失常，水肿或心脏杂音。对上述异常进行医疗管理似乎不仅有助于预防另一种更严重的疾病，而且有助于预防残疾。只有少数老年人在外周血细胞、血液化学和免疫球蛋白检查中显示出异常。总之，大约70%的住在自己家里的老年人在日常生活中是活跃的，他们没有严重的疾病。少
