In order to evaluate the importance of housing program for the healthy aged society, we have conducted a situation analysis of housing condition of the aged living in a city of Fukuoka Prefecture. The data was collected from 2,611 elderly people living in a city of Fukuoka prefecture. At first, the necessity of reconstruction was cross-evaluated by sex, age, type of household, health status, ADL independency level, type of residence. Then factors associated with willingness to use the institutional care were analyzed by the logistic regression analysis. The present results clarified that the aged living in the houses with necessity of reconstruction have showed more willingness to use institutional services that are covered by the public medical insurance and LTCI. Historically, the housing policy has long been separated from the public health policy in Japan. It is strongly recommended to integrate the housing policy into the public health policy in order to realize a healthy aged society.
