In order to investigate the psychosocial factors influencing the daily exercise practices of both the elderly and aged people ,a survey was administered to the residential sample that consisted of 271 subjects who were living in their own homes and also between 60 and 90 years of age. The sample was divided into two subgroups; the exercise practice group (EPG) and the non-exercise practice group (N-EPG). The EPG was the subgroup which had the opportunity to do exetcise two times and more every week, whereas the N-EPG was the subgroup which had the opportunity to do exercise a few times every month or less. Both of the subgroups were healthy on their physical health status. The main result was as folows: It was found that the evaluation of the EPG concerning their own body images by using the body image check list tended to be positively higher than that of the N-EPG's body images. The psychosocial factors contributing to promote the daily exercise practices were analyzed by using the Hayashi's Quantification theory II on each sex. From the result, it was found that the most important psychosocial factors, which are common in both sexes,included "the self perceived health status" and "the attitude toward exercise or sport" .Furthermore it was also found that the feeling of subjective well-being of the EPG was significantly higher than that of the N-EPG by analyzing the Lawton's PGC morale scale scores for the elderly.
