Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Despite a long average lifespan, increased life expectancy does not guarantee higher quality of life. METHODS:To contribute in understanding some determinants of healthy life expectancies in older Japanese individuals in a snowy winter region, we investigated the indicators of health. Local residents (n = 124) in the city of Iwamizawa volunteered for health examinations from January 2016 to March 2016. We recorded activity via daily steps for 2-week periods. In addition, we measured body composition, grip strength, and assessed nutritional status. RESULTS:Analysis of body composition and daily activity indicated that women who walked more than 4000 steps had lower fat mass and increased muscle mass. Men with >3.0 metabolic equivalents (METs) when walking had lower body fat. CONCLUSION:For healthy older Japanese individuals in this snowy winter region, walking >4000 steps daily for women and exercise of >3.0 METs for men may indicate health-promoting activities.
