Abstract
The Ministry of Health and Welfare inaugurated an official recognition system for spa-based health promotion facilities in 1988 as part of its health promotion program. As a result, those facilities gradually increased across the country until the number of the recognized facilities reached 17 by February 1995.<br>The Japan Health & Research Institute has performed factfinding surveys on the use of these recognized spa-based health promotion facilities every year from the beginning of the recognition system. This paper reports the survey results obtained during these 5 years.<br>During the past 5 years, 275 males and 138 females used these spa-based health promotion facilities (with tax deductions applied to madical expenses). The number of male patients was about twice as large as that of female patients. Most males used the facilities because of diseases in the field of internal medicine, and most females, because of diseases in the field of orthopedic surgery.<br>We are planning to prepare a manual for evaluating the effects of spa therapy and assess the efficacy of spa therapy by including a new survey item of “clinical effects of spa therapy” in a questionnaire for a nationwide survey.
