In recent years, the global population has been aging. In Japan, where the aging rate is particularly high, the employment of older workers is increasing in the field of production and logistics. In line with this trend, the number of occupational accidents among the older adult has been increasing, and there is a need to improve the well-being of the older adult. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify regional differences in their well-being health status by analyzing questionnaires of Kokuho database (KDB), to pick up towns where new policies should be considered, and to consider future strategies. In this section, we will compare the results of the analysis by township and by individual. In addition, by utilizing a geographic information system to overlay geographic data, the characteristics of the community were extracted. As a result, it was found that older adult need to satisfy many health factors to lead a satisfactory life, and that there are regional differences in the health factors that they satisfy. In addition, characteristics that did not emerge in township levels could be seen in the analysis of individual levels. Furthermore, comparison with other questionnaires showed the usefulness of the KDB.
