Outline of Final Research Achievements

In collaboration with Mahidol University, we incorporated dementia prevention into health education programs for the seniors in Thailand, displayed the activities in a chart, and provided comprehensive health education based on evidence. We introduced the health education programs which obtained an international standard ISO9001: 2008 in Japan to four regions of Thailand. As a result, we were able ①to construct the health education in Thailand after the cycle of the ISO “Plan, Do, Check and Action”, ②to practice teaching methods based on a survey of health education, ③to make international contributions by introducing the ISO health education for the aging issues in Thailand.
