| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To enable older adults to continue living in a familiar area in a sustainable manner, it is necessary to provide them with support fitting the situation of the local community. This study elucidated the relationship between the characteristics of local areas and the frailty of older adults. It then investigated the relationship between community activities (physical, cultural, community activities ,and volunteer activities) that older adults engage in and frailty regarding these activities .This result suggests that, for elders who find it difficult to participate in physical activities, engaging in cultural or community social activities might help to prevent or delay frailty.We reported these findings at seminars for supporters of frailty prevention, academic conferences, and other similar opportunities.
