Outline of Final Research Achievements

A follow-up survey was conducted, involving randomly-selected subjects living in two municipalities of Japan who had first participated in the study in 1998 or fifteen years before the survey, to provide findings to promote research on longevity. The survey aimed to examine lifestyle and nutritional factors that help prevent females living in the community from developing cardiovascular disorders and fractures as the causes of conditions requiring nursing care, their QOL, and factors associated with lifestyle-related diseases. Nurses who serve as health advisors in the community collaborated with us to extract the evidence required to provide health advice in relation to lifestyle-related diseases, and develop guidelines for health advice based on the evidence.
