Abstract
This survey aims at examining the maintenance of influence of Hoken-Suisinin Activities of F-city (hereafter, Activities), which are activities of Community Organization in a local city, on its participants. To analyze the survey, we compared continuators' health behavior scores and their scores of health promoting activity towards their families and communities with those of retirees. Continuators and retirees were those who took part in Activities simultaneously for the first time. Results showed no significant differences among activity scores. Furthermore, average scores of continuators and retirees showed no marked differences. Therefore, it is assumed that the influence of Activities was maintained even after retiring from Activities.
