"With a view to identifying the current status of Successful Aging of men in their middle stage of life and clarifying their actual situation, the author conducted a free form-based questionnaire survey consisting of sixty male subjects aged from 30 to 59 and living in three districts in the country.As a result of analyzing the respondents' written answers by using a cause-and-effect based qualitative method, the following seven categories were extracted as key aspects representing the current status of Successful Aging in the case of middle-aged men: `Participation',`Health',`Imbalance',`Preparation',`Attachment',`Self-awareness',and `Renovation'.Furthermore, the following two key characteristics of mature-aged men's Successful Aging status were identified for further consideration: (1)`Imbalance' between their public and private activities is observed, and it was inferable that they are not necessarily happy with their current daily life. (2) They take their death as destined, and live with mental `Attachment' to their present life giving highest priority to realities."
