The ratio of the women living alone showed a significantly-higher number, more than five times that of men (P<0.01).

However, 76% considered themselves healthy while living their daily lives, an indication that there was a large gap between objective data and a subjective view of health. In addition, 85% were mindful of their own health, which showed a high interest.(3) Approximately 79% of the respondents participated in some kind of sports over the past year and the ratio significantly decreased with increasing age (P<0.01).
