This research examines how the linkages between different types of social networks and subjective wellbeing(SWB)vary across gender and age through structural equation modeling. Data came from a nationwide survey for older adults conducted in 1999 (N=3,482). SWB was measured by life satisfaction and depressive symptoms. A three-factors model for social networks showed a good fit, consisting of child contact, informal contact with friends and neighbors, and social participation related to groups/volunteer activities. The effects of four types of networks (i.e., spouse and the three factors) on SWB were compared among the 4 gender×age groups. Gender differences were more prominent among the young-old (63-74 years old) than the old-old (75 and over), namely, the effects of being married and social participation on life satisfaction were greater for males than females, whereas informal contact was more important for female life satisfaction and depression. Among the old-old, the association between child contact and SWB was stronger than among the young-old. Further research is needed to ascertain whether the age differences result from aging and/or cohort variations.

In a hyper-aged society, health promotion for middle-aged and older people—especially women—became a serious social issue. Health promotion is highly important from the viewpoint of reducing healthcare cost and improving QOL. Among a variety of health promotion approaches, we especially focused on health promotion by exercises. Resistance training is regarded as one of the effective health promotive exercises. However, resistance training will not effectively work if the training is done with wrong postures and speed. In this paper, we propose a VR system that supports to perform correct exercises without relying on training instructor. Specifically, we developed a visualization system that superimposes the postures of the training instructor and trainee in a 3D virtual environment and helps the trainee to learn resistant training in the right manner.
