| Research Abstract |
In order to investigate the economic evaluation of exercise programs for long-term care prevention, the present study conducted to examine 1) the cost and benefit of community-based water-based exercise program among the elderly with lower-limb pain, 2) the impact of its water-based exercise program on medical expenditure and consultation behavior, 3) the effect of body-weighted strength training on the cost of long-term care among the frail elderly. From the results, the exercise programs implemented in the present study were cost-effective and seemed to have a small but positive impact of the medical expenditure and cost for long-term care.
