This study was conducted, with special reference to elucidating the causes for lower limb amputation, which would have the most significant effect on "locomotion", the basis of independence of the aged. The subjects were leg amputees for whom artificial limbs had been fitted financed by various insurance policies in Osaka prefecture. The survey was conducted on 3, 138 subjects, from whom acceptable responses were obtained from 1, 460 (recovery rate, 46.5%). Questionnaires were mailed to each prospective respondent's home. Among men, occupational accidents were the most frequently cited cause (33.8% of all subjects), followed by traffic accidents, diabetes mellitus, and war injuries. For women, traffic accidents topped the list (33.2%), followed by tumor, diabetes mellitus, and unspecified illnesses. The outstanding differences between men and women were the high incidence of work-related accidents and war injuries cited by the men. Since 1980, the percentage of amputees suffering from diabetes mellitus markedly increased, both among men and women. Outstanding reductions were noted in the incidence of amputation due to occupational accidents among men and traffic accidents among women. Following a peak in the 1950s, the percentage of amputations due to these traumatic accidents gradually decreased. Diabetes mellitus is not only responsible for complications but serves as the major cause for leg amputation, which is a formidable detriment to coping with the activities of daily living. The results of the this study clearly indicated that the prevention of diabetes mellitus is an important objective for improving the QOL and prolonging a healthy life for the aged.
