The increasing trend of visits to medical facilities by the elderly has become a recognizable social problem since 1983, as a result of the aging of population in Japan in recent years. In this paper, the regulatory factor of the visit rate, as an indicator of the health behavior, was analyzed by such methods as factor analysis and multiple regression. Major results were as follows: 1) The visit rate has the positive and significant correlation to those variables that are characteristic of urban life (convenience in traffic, etc.). On the contrary, a negative correlation is found to the variables typical of rural life, such as the ratio of owner house, etc. 2) The twelve clusters were formulated through 29 variables, and then the twelve variables were selected from each cluster, which was based on the highest correlation with the visit rate, and used for the factor analysis. 3) The result of factor analysis can be concluded as: the first factor is urban life, the second factor, a poor health status as defined by the vital statistics, and the third factor, extremely thin population density. 4) These three factors were used for the multiple regression analysis. The multiple correlation coefficient was then calculated to be 0.679, and the contribution ratio was 46.1%. Thus, the a of first factor was 0.561, the second factor, -0.327, the third factor, -0.200. In sum, it was noted that the urban lifestyle was a far more important factor associated with the increase in the visit rate, while the poor health status and the low density of population significantly contributed to the suppression of the visit rate.
