"With a view to clarifying the current status of successful aging in the case of women in their mature stage and recognizing the reality of successful aging, the author has recently conducted a questionnaire survey of 99 women aged from 30 to 59 living in three districts in Japan. In this survey, the respondents were asked to answer the questions concerning their current condition of successful aging by writing their answers and comments in a free form. By analyzing the collected data using a qualitative factors based searching method, the following six categories have been extracted from their written answers and comments as major themes indicating the current status for those women: `Participation', `Health', `Fulfillment', `Preparation', `Reconsideration', `Creation'. Furthermore, the following two points have been identified as the characteristics of successful aging in the case of women in their mature stage: 1. Fulfillment with their public and private activities as well as full satisfaction with their daily life, both of which are realized through efficient time management. 2. Creative preparation for their future life on the basis of their present living conditions."
