To elucidate the correlation between lifestyle (health practices ; sleeping hours, working hours, breakfast, eating between meals, salt, balance in diet, exercise, drinking, smoking) and subjective feeling of life satisfaction, we made a survey for middle and advanced aged residents in a town for promoting successful aging and quality of life. The result obtained by using multivariate analysis to control the confounding factors of sex and gender revealed that health practices significantly related to subjective feeling of life satisfaction were balance in diet, sleeping hours, exercise and salt and that health practices promoting subjective feeling of life satisfaction were good balanced diet and taking regular exercise but having insufficient sleeping hours was deteriorating subjective feeling of life satisfaction. In males the health practices significantly related to subjective feeling of life satisfaction were balance in diet and taking exercise. Good balanced diet promoted subjective feeling of life satisfaction but poorly unbalanced diet deteriorated it. Whereas in females the health practices significantly related to subjective feeling of life satisfaction were balanced diet, sleeping hours, restriction of salt, smoking and taking exercise. But not only good balanced diet, taking regular exercise but also such unhealthy practice as excessive drinking and having a smoke promoted subjective feeling of life satisfaction but having insufficient sleeping hours deteriorated it. And another results reveal that healthy lifestyle promotes subjective feeling of life satisfaction and contributes to quality of life and successful aging.
