| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to clarify characteristics of the socially isolated elderly.A questionnaire survey was conducted by mailing 422 persons of 65 years or older.
Sixty-six subjects corresponded to the definition of socially isolated persons.There were significant differences in the subjective sense of well-being ，ADL，IADL，a endency toward depression, involvement in the community,and nonparticipation in a town council.In attribution analysis, the probability that a socially isolated person had lower mobility capacity was 4.1-times higher, socially isolated person had IADL was 2.1-times higher, tendency toward depression was 2.8-times higher, and the probability of nonparticipation in a town council was 2.8-times higher.
It was felt to be important to work towards individualized support through home visit, using information such as records of participation in a town council as clues in understanding the unidentified socially isolated elderly.
