The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of participants physical and mental functions after conducting comprehensive health education for community-dwelling people at Tokyo University of Agriculture. Seven community-dwelling people applied to participate in the fall-prevention course. We had lectures and exercise instructions once a week (90 min) for 6 weeks. Participants fall-preventive abilities and mental moods were measured by the Good Walkers Index (Kenkyakudo)® and POMS, respectively. Each outcome at the end of the intervention was compared to the baseline level. The items which improved significantly compared to the baseline were 10-m walking speed (p<0.01) in Good Walkers Index (Kenkyakudo)® and fatigue (p<0.05) in POMS. In conclusion, even the healthy elderly without any fall experience might improve their physical and mental functions after lectures and exercise instructions once a week (90 min) for 6 weeks.
