-Trends by age group-
I. People in their 70s are the most likely to feel like they are aging positively!
After presenting the idea of well-aging (growing older positively with a healthy body and mind), we asked people to self-evaluate how they currently feel, and when we analyzed the results by age group, the top results were for both men and women in their 70s. This is the result.
When asked about the reasons for their self-evaluation, it was revealed that although both men and women experience physical problems due to aging, their minds remain positive through enjoying hobbies and communicating with others.
II. The reasons for not being able to age positively differ between men and women. For men, those in their 50s who are in the working age group, and for women in their 20s, who are undergoing rapid lifestyle changes, had the worst scores.
On the other hand, there were gender differences in the age group with the lowest scores. For men, those in their 50s are the worst, and the working age group of 30s to 50s is the worst, while for women, the worst is in their 20s, when their lifestyles tend to change due to marriage, childbirth, work, etc. You can see from the comments that there is a difference.
-Trend by score-
III. The mental health of the group with a high well-aging score is approximately 5.7 times that of the group with a low score!
When we analyzed the body health score and mental health score of the group with high scores, we found that those with high scores also had significantly higher levels of physical and mental health. In particular, it was found that the group with a high score was approximately 5.7 times more likely to have a healthy heart than the group with a low score.
IV. The high-scoring group was about -1.60 years old, making them feel physically “younger.”
When comparing the groups with high and low scores regarding the age they feel about their body, mind, and appearance, the group with high scores in all items feels younger than the group with low scores. I found out that there is. In particular, when it comes to physical age, they felt 1.60 years younger than the younger group, which resulted in the largest gap.

V. The gym is top for your body health!
A comparison was made between groups with high scores and groups with low scores regarding what they are keeping in mind for their physical health. The group with a high score is conscious of moving their body at the gym or playing sports and taking positive actions, while the group with a low score is conscious of self-care such as moderation by quitting smoking and drinking, and seeking reassurance through supplements. I found out that there is.
VI. Connections with people are the key to a healthy heart!
We also compared the high-scoring and low-scoring groups regarding the things they keep in mind for mental health. The group with a high score is conscious of connecting with others, such as “meeting friends, family, and lovers” and “enjoying fashion,” while the group with a low score is conscious of “eating what they like” and “shopping.” I found out that they are conscious of releasing stress. ■Our consideration
