Background It is important to maintain good relationships with others in the community in order to keep good health. For keeping good health, good nutrition is necessary, too. In addition, personal adaptation skills influence their health. However, not enough research has been done about social capital for the regions where elderly people live. Personal adaptation skills have not been researched enough, either. Methods The research subjects were 26 people over 70 years old in Suo-Oshima. The data was collected through interview. The Social Capital Questioner was used to clarify the feature about good relation with others and the personal adaptation skills. The mos 8-item short-form (SF8) health survey was examined to measure health-related QOL (HRQOL) The correlation between social capital and SF8 were analyzed. Results We gained two important results. First, the elderly people living in Suo-Oshima have rich social capital and the high points on the SF8. They had good nutrition and high health consciousness. On the other hand, the crisis of a decline in rich social capital may occur when the elderly people have their own health problems. If they worry about their own health more than the problem about their family member, their relational tie in the community and the opportunity to see someone decreased intentionally. Conclusion The correlation between rich social capital and good health was clarified in this preliminary survey. In addition, solving their health problems as soon as possible are important to keep their quality of life high and social capital rich.
