Outline of Final Research Achievements

“sense of GENKI [SOG]” was defined as “sense of being able to act to one’s self-satisfaction having vitality and drive even with a disease,” whereas “sense of ill-being [SOI]” was defined as “sense of being disease-stricken with pain and suffering directly attributable or related to the disease.” The SF-36 is a scale that measures state of health. Hence To clarify the relationship between SOG/SOI and SF-36 in older diabetic patients.
194 subjects included diabetic patients aged 65 to 87 years. SOG and SOI had a strong negative correlation (r=-0.68), showing strong negative correlations. SOG had a positive correlation with SF-36 (r= 0.51 to 0.32), social functioning (0.51) as well as vitality (0.49). SOI and SF-36 was negative correlations -0.61 to -0.40. SOI had a negative correlation with some sub-scales of SF-36, physical functioning (-0.61). Relationship with SF-36 suggested that SOV and SOI are relevant to concepts of health.
