The purpose of this study is to show the factors associated with disaster preparedness among community-dwelling older adults in Japan. We used cross-sectional survey data collected for the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) in 2019. This data was collected by using mail-based, self-reported questionnaires. A total of 18302 people who responded to disaster preparedness and related factors were included in this study. The results of this study showed that economic status and living alone were related to disaster preparedness, that men were more likely than women to participate in community disaster preparedness activities, and that instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) were associated with each the disaster preparedness examined.
