In this study, falling self-efficacy (FSE) was surveyed by self-entering questionnaire to obtain basic information to utilize for the falls prevention of healthy aged persons. The subjects were 158 healthy elderly persons in the age of 65 or above who take part in community-based companionship activities on a regular basis, 57 males and 101 females. The relations between FSE and age-related somatic symptoms, physical activity, fear of falls, consciousness of decline in walking ability and pride against acting to prevent falls were examined by chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance. Followings were found; 1) Sex, age, age-related somatic symptoms, The Index of Competence development by Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology, self or familiar persons' experience of falls or fractures, fear of falls, consciousness of decline in walking ability and pride against acting to prevent falls were related with FSE of healthy elderlies. 2) Around the age of 75 would be the turning point of FSE. The data suggests FSE would fall after the age of 75. 3) FSE could be basic information for the assessment of falls prevention of aged persons, if you understand not only objective physical abilities including physical activities, consciousness of walking ability, fear of falls and experience giving up what the subject want to do due to the fear of falls but also how the subjects face with the decline of these abilities and whether that motivates them to act to prevent falls. 4) Self or others' enactive mastery experiences and vicarious experiences elevated FSE. Self or others' experience of falls and whether having opportunities to communicate with others are important for FSE and to motivate elderlies to prevent falls. That implies they can be utilized for falls prevention campaign.
