Abstract

This study attempted to find the critical point of health maintenance and aging in place among older adults in a hilly suburban detached residential area by means of a hearing survey and a three-year follow-up. Regarding frailty, it was found that women aged 80 and over maintained robust health. On the other hand, the critical point for aging in place was considered to exist among men who lived alone and those who were 85 years old or older. In addition, the vacant spaces in the entrance approaches and garages showed the adaptation to the physical environment by the dwellers themselves, and could contribute to the reconstruction of social capital, which is closely related to health maintenance.
