Abstract

Correlation between leisure time activities of working people aged over 50 years and general attributes (gender, age, educational background, presence of a spouse, income, self-assessment of health status, and treatment received at medical institutions) were evaluated. The subjects surveyed were a total of 1,110 people aged over 50 years (1,030 men and 80 women) working in six companies, each with more than 500 employees, located in Chiba Prefecture. Questionnaires to be filled out by each of the 1,110 employees were sent to the six companies. Responses were received from 590 (53.2%) of the employees (550 male employees and 40 female employees), and data obtained from these responses were used for analysis. The results of analysis indicated that both the amount and the quality of activities in the daily lives of workers approaching retirement age were insufficient. The results also showed that these activities were correlated with gender, presence of a spouse or self- assessment of health status.
