With the progress of science, global economic prosperity, and an age of greater cooperation and diversity, we are closer to realizing the human dream of a longer life than ever bofore. At the same time, a rise in the population of aging workers brings also problems associated with an aging work force. Middle aged workers face such problems as sudden death or death from over-work, and in the work place. This study was a discussion of the health condition and lifestyles of the middle aged, and the relationship between lifestyle and healthfull condition, concluding with some recommendations towards a better life. In the results of this study, the following recommendations are made for a more healthy life.(1)Take fulfilling holidays. (2)Have a purpose for living. (3)Have a strong attention to health keeping. This study shows that a majority of middle aged Japanese can be called "work oriented". It is said that only 1 out of 5 middle aged Japanese will choose to take a holiday rather than work.It is also said that only 1 out of 4 has a year around healthy condition. However, it is also apparent that not all younger, middle aged people may necessarily have an awareness of the importance of the relation of lifestyle to health either. "One's health is one's own making." is a theme that all of us needs to hold and build on, in order to live a more fulfulling life in our 70's and 80's.
