| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to conduct locomo health checkups and health guidance for mature and middle-aged workers to clarify the actual conditions of locomotor health and health behaviors, and to develop a health guidance program using the locomo degree test to support the review of lifestyle habits and motivation to change health behaviors.
An interview survey was conducted with teleworkers to develop a health guidance program that also takes into account the actual situation of teleworking, which became widespread due to the impact of coronary infections. Utilizing the locomotion level test, we created educational materials such as exercises and lifestyle improvement videos to improve workers' motor functions. As a result of the effectiveness verification of this program, an improvement in motor function was confirmed in the comparison of physical conditions before and after the implementation of the intervention.

労働者を対象としたロコモに関する研究は、ロコモの実態把握や関連する生活習慣の解明が始まったばかりである。そのため、職域におけるロコモに関する健康教育の必要性は示唆されているが、その実践や評価に関する報告はまだ少ない。
本研究は労働者の運動器の健康と保健行動の実態を明らかにし、ロコモに着目した保健指導による生活習慣の見直しや保健行動を変容する動機づけの支援を検討した。高齢社会の先進国である日本において、労働者を対象にロコモに着目した保健指導プログラムを開発したことは、高齢化傾向にある諸外国の介護予防対策においても一助となると考える。
