The purpose of this study was to investigate what factors were related to the number of bed-bound aged at home. Analyses of correlation and stepwise multiple regression were performed by using the several social indicators such as natural environment, population, households and families, economic, finance, labor, housing and living conditions, medical services, medical supplies, health projects and other social welfare supllies among all the forty seven prefectures except Hyogo Prefecture in Japan. Positive correlations were found between the number of bed-bound aged at home and life span of male (p<0.01). On the other hand, negative correlations were found between the number of bed-bound aged at home and medical care expenditure of inpatients, service-acceptance rate of inpatients and ratio of expenditure for medical care (p<0.01). Stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated that service-acceptance rate of inpatients (p<0.01), life span of male and capacity of short-stay services (p<0.05) contributed to the number of bed-bound aged at home. The findings of this study suggest that service-acceptance rate of inpatients, life span and capacity of short-stay services have a influence on the number of bed-bound aged at home.
