Description

<p>Previous studies suggest that the better proximity to urban facilities, the more social participation of older adults. However, there also can be a negative effect of close distance on participation. This present study aims to discern the relationship between the changes in density of neighborhood facilities and changes in participation of Japanese older adults. The data consisted of two waves of JAGES survey was used. The targets of the surveys were not eligible for public long-term nursing care. The facilities were categorized as (1) leisure facilities, (2) café, pubs and restaurants, (3) medical and welfare facilities, and (4) food stores. Multilevel ordered logistic model was used for analysis. Results indicate that several types of neighborhood facilities are associated with increased participation of older adults. However, light-hearted going out, especially daily use of food stores, may have some limitations to promote participation.</p>
