We investigated the daily life and the dietary habits of the aged by using questionnaires in Hishikari-cho, Kagoshima prefecture, in December 1996. We distributed 250 questionnaires ; 187 completed questionnaires were returned : the recovery rate was 75%. The results were as follows : Sixty-two percent of the respondents presently had their spouses. Forty-five percent of the women lived alone, whereas 65% of the men lived with their wives. Their main incomes were from pensions, and the main expenditures were for food expenses and social expenses. They were mainly occupied with housekeeping, gardening and farming as their daily activities. They had lots of communication with friends, neighbors and relatives through food exchanges and outdoor sports. On the other hand, they had little communication with their children's families in daily life. Most of them paid attention to their health, being concerned with dietary habits, sleeping, exercises and living a regular life. The ratio of doing exercises was twice as high as that in the Ministry Health and Welfare national survey. Approximately half of the respondents had anxieties about their future, about health, losing spouse and the cost of living. Also nearly half of them wished to be taken care of by their children if they couldn't live by themselves.
