Research Abstract

We explored factors relating to subjective well-being(Ikigai) in 176 residents aged 65years and over in Kamikatsu Town(aged rate 49%), Tokushima Prefecture. The average age of the subjects was 75.4±6.9 years, and 59.7% of the subjects were engaged in paid labor. Logistic analysis revealed that independent factors for Ikigai were belief in god, receiving thanks from others, low solitary feeling, and high savings. Circumstances for continuing life-long jobs may contribute to subjective well-being in the elderly.
