Methods: A self-administered questionnaire survey was distributed to elderly persons living in Kunigami Village, Okinawa Prefecture. The results of 344 respondents (valid response rate: 27.6 %) were classified as “nonhousebound” or “housebound” . In the present study, we analyzed 34 elderly persons who were in a “housebound” state. Results: The items for which a significant difference was noted between eastern and western districts are as follows: “cohabitation status,” “educational background,” and “past medical history of knee pain.” Regarding “cohabitation status,” the highest percentage of respondents in eastern districts comprised persons who lived in the same household with a child, while the highest in western districts comprised married couples who lived together or with a child. Regarding “educational background,” the highest percentage of respondents in eastern districts comprised persons who graduated from elementary school, while the highest in western districts comprised persons who graduated from high school. Furthermore, regarding “past medical history,” the percentage of persons who responded that no knee pain was present was high in both the eastern and the western districts. In both the eastern and the western districts, even subjects in a “housebound” state had friends and acquaintances who made home visits, and exchange with others was maintained. Discussion: In the eastern districts, which do not have a convenient transportation network, elderly persons go out through “driving by another person”, and the main goal of going out is going to the hospital. In both eastern and western districts, exchange with others was maintained even among persons who did not go out, and it may be important to strengthen the network to watch over support for elderly persons who are able to continue to interact with others through home visiting., application/pdf}, pages = {97--106}, title = {沖縄県過疎地域に暮らす「閉じこもり」状態にある高齢者の実態と支援の検討 : 国頭村東西地域の比較分析}, year = {}, yomi = {まつだ, めぐみ and ながた, みわこ and まえうえじょう, るみ and しんじょう, めぐみ} }
