Based on our studies of cases in which their measurement methods was used as a part of health promotion activites. This paper examined a method for measurement of physical fitness age for middle-aged and elderly persons proposed by Koda et al.The author concluded that their method is effective for the promotion of the fitness activities for those people. The measurement of physical fitness age and its assessment proposed by Koda et al. implied the usefulness in the nursing field for their safe, easy, and practical application. This methods also seemed to be effective to motivate individuals for health promotion activities and to continue the efforts. However the method proposed by Koda et al. can grasp only part of comprehensive physical fitness. It is necessary, therefore, to develop a fitness assessment that covers not only physical factors but mental (volition, judgment, motivation) and defense physical fitness ones (resistance to mental stresses) as well. Further studies are required to examine how this comprehensive fitness assessment can be incorporated into community nursing.
