Based on the background described above, this paper intends to clarify the connection between "the prevention of homeboundness" and "support for purpose in life" through discussion to obtain a theoretical basis for practice. First, activities which lie at the center of the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) theory are discussed, and possibilities of functional improvement and social participation which would be brought about by the practice of such activities are considered. In addition, the process in which such cycle leads health or QOL (Quality of Life) in a preferable direction is discussed from the three view points of life, livelihood, and human life. Next, new view points for preventing diseases and disabilities peculiarly seen in the elderly, that is, programs aimed at treatment and symptomatic improvement of dementia, improvement and evaluation of physical abilities, application of psychoimmunological findings, etc., are specifically introduced. Finally, as a summary of the discussion and the study, the results are confirmed with reference to the theme of this paper. The present paper is written as a key paper of a joint research the author, et al. intend to work on from 2009 to 2010, entitled "Research and Study on Construction of 'Care System to Support Purpose in Life' that Connects to Prevention of Long-Term Care for the Elderly".}, pages = {5--21}, title = {高齢者の閉じこもり予防と生きがい支援の連接に関する研究}, volume = {56}, year = {2009} }
