    Abstract:
    In order to sustain functional activities in the elderly, promotion of nursing care and preventive intervention is important in terms of successful aging and healthy longevity. In particular, reduction of falls and fall-related injuries as well as treatments of osteoporosis is necessary for keeping activities of daily living. Fall-prevention programs and interventions including exercise and nutrition are recently prevailing among community-dwelling elderly Japanese people, some of which are revealed to have beneficial effects.
