Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to suggest ways to develop community interaction and health promotion activities and based on children's health conditions and lifestyles in different areas. The living environments and lifestyle habits of children and their parents were found to be quite different in rural and urban areas. Further, it was shown that environmental factors related to lifestyle habits and community interaction relate to other areas of social development. Furthermore, it is suggested that community interaction enhances the sociality of children. Therefore, in developing health promotion programs for children, it is necessary to consider area characteristics and environmental factors.
