高齢者139名を対象に,高齢者意識に関する15項目の質問とQOL評価を行い,高齢者の主観的高齢感とQOLの関係を検討した.日常生活が自立した在宅高齢者の場合は,高齢者であるという意識は少ない傾向にある.高齢感は年齢や性別より「感じ方」の影響が大きく,最大の要因は病気にかかる頻度とそれに対する心配にあるといえ,罹患の頻度が多くなるほど,高齢感が増大する可能性を示唆した.高齢者意識が高いほどQOLが低下する傾向にあり,高齢者自身が高齢者という用語に対して「マイナスイメージ」を持っていることが示唆された.また,高齢感は過去の自分や他者との比較の中から感じ取られる可能性が示唆された.高齢者意識とQOLとの関連において,高齢感が弱い場合は「生活のハリ」「心理的安定感」「積極的外出」などが関連し,高齢感が強い場合は「幸福感」「ゆとり感」「趣味などの楽しみ機会」などに関連することがわかった.これらの関係は,自己受容或いは自己効力感の作用と考えられたが,今後の検討課題となった.これらの結果から,高齢感の変化とQOLの視点をもった予防医学の展開が重要と考えられた.We examined the relation between the subjective aged impression and QOL by using a 15 items questionnaire and QOL evaluation sheet for 139 elderly persons. Elderly people living at home with independent daily life showed a small trend for aged impression. And the aged impression is larger than the age and sexes the influence of "how to feel it", and we thought that the maximum factor is in the frequency to sickness. It is suggested that an aged impression increase occurs by getting to the sickness. We clarified "tendency to which QOL decreased when the aged impression rose". It was suggested that the aged themselves have a "negative image" for the term "aged". It was suggested that aged impression is felt in comparing to oneself past and/or other people. In relating about the aged impression and QOL, we understood that it is related to "lively life", "psychological stability" and "positive go out" etc. when an aged impression is weak, and to a "feeling of well-being", "composure feeling", and "enjoyment chance of the hobby etc.", etc. when an aged feeling is strong. These relations were thought to relate to the action of self-acceptance or self-efficacy, but it clearly became an examination problem for the future. It was thought that the development of preventive medicine with the aspect of change of aged impression and QOL was important
