A three year follow-up study was carried out on 86 elderly persons playing gate ball, (53 males and 33 females, ) and 255 elderly persons not playing gate ball, (102 males and 153 females, ) Their health condition, life style, and daily activities were surveyed . The same subjects were also surveyed of the same items three years later. We compared the characteristics of the group playing gate ball (GB group) with those of the group not playing gate ball (n-GB group) . The results were as follows: 1. Number of the dead in the subjects whose questionnaire were not recovered was more for males than for females. In the males, the average age of those who had died was higher than that for the disabled . 2. The health status of the subjects in n-GB group became significantly worse in the three years. In the female n-GB group, the number of the subjects visiting a physician significantly increased compared with those of three years ago . Disability in daily life of both male and female in n-GB group increased significantly compared with that of GB group. 3. Number of subjects satisfied with their daily life increased in both groups in three years. In particular, they increased significantly in the n-GB group . In the GB group, all of the females answered that they were satisfied with their daily life . 4. In the males of the n-GB group, the number of the subjects not having a role in their family increased significantly compared with those of three years ago . The social participation of the males in the GB group and the females in the n-GB group decreased significantly in three years . 5. For both males and females in the GB group, the average number of hours playing gate ball increased significantly in three years. Many subjects of them answered that they assist houseworks other than playing gate ball. Though, the number of the subjects assisting housework decreased significantly in the females in the GB group in three years. Many subjects of them answered that keeping their health was their reasons continue to play gate ball for them. 6.
