Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study were to consider the activities implementation and interest for body function and cognitive function in community-dwelling elderly. Subjects were seven hundred eighty-six community-dwelling people aged 65years and more (74.5±5.7 years). The activities implementation significantly correlated with body function as grip strength, sit and reach, 5-repetition sit-to-stand, timed up and go, and 5-m habitual walk. The activities interest significantly correlated with body function as grip strength, sit and reach, 5-repetition sit-to-stand, timed up and go, and 5-m habitual walk. No difference was found in cognitive function between the activities implementation and interest. Although some problems such as little capacity, not for only elderly, and require transportation were difficult to participate easily, community service was adapted to the interest of community-dwelling elderly.
