Negative multivariable binomial regression analysis, with adjustment for age, sex, and job status. Diseases currently under treatment yes = 1, no = 0; with visual or hearing impairment = 1, without = 0; with urinary incontinence = 1, without = 0; with a fall experienced in the past year = 1, without = 0; with higher risk of locomotive dysfunction (GLFS-5), cognitive function decline (SDC), or depression (GDS-5) = 1, without = 0; high health literacy (CCHL) = 1, or not = 0; high participation in community activities = 1, or not = 0; high SSES receiving and giving, high LSNS-6 family and friendships, and high ANEWS-J land use mix-access and esthetics = 1 or not = 0
