共分散構造分析に基づく青壮年期・高齢期の健康形成要因構造モデルの提案-北九州市郊外住宅地における住宅・地域環境の健康決定要因に関する研究（その1）－

摘要

The purpose of this study is to analyze the: health determinant factors of housing and regional environment in the suburb of Kitakyushu. A questionnaire survey was carried out among the middle-aged and elderly people in Yatsue district, the city of Kitakyushu, in order to clarify the respective influence of houses and regional environment, including the various surrounding environments, on residents' health. As for self-rated health, 80% of the respondents claimed, "I am in good health" or "I am not in bad health", and there was no great distinction among age groups. Health related fectors modeling showing the relations among housing, regional environments, and health was proposed, based on structural equation modeling. This model indicated that 23% of residents' health may be dependent on the influences of their houses and regional environments. This model also showed that residents' health had strong correlation to questionnaire items such as "indoor thermal environment' of houses, and "community activities", "neighborship" and "green space" for regional environments. Therefore, it is possible that residents' health may require appropriate maintenance through creation of good house and regional environment.%本研究では、住宅・地域環境における青壮年期・高齢期の健康決を要因やその形成構造を明らかにするため、北九州市の郊外住宅地を対象としたアンケート調査を実施した。得られた知見は下記の通りである。 1.八枝地区の主観的健康感は、「健康である（とても健康・まあまあ健康）」と答えた割合が76％を占めており、全般的に健康な地域であることが伺える。特に60代・70代の回答が良好で、当世代に健康づくり活動、社会活動により積極的に参加している傾向があったことから、社会活動への参加が高齢者の「健康でない」の回答者の増大を緩和させていると推察される∩
