The purpose of this study was to develop of intervention models on mental health among community-dwelling elderly by using stress-related substance in saliva. We examined the relationships between mental health evaluated objectively from psycho-neuron-endocrine-immunological point of view, and physical, psychological and social aspects among elderly. These results indicate the importance for community-dwelling elderly of physical health, participating in traditional events and spirituality such as acceptance of their death in order to maintain and improve their mental health.
