概要 Using data from a cohort study initiated in 1991, this study evaluated the physical function of 322 community-dwelling older adults in Municipality A in 2018 and 2019 to examine the impact of exercise facility use on physical performance. The results indicated that active use of exercise facilities contributed to maintaining and improving physical function, with significant improvements in grip strength observed among frequent users. These findings suggest that exercise facility use may be effective for long-term health maintenance, highlighting the need for future research to develop comprehensive support programs that consider health factors beyond physical function.
