| Abstract | Support and intervention for the social participation of adults aged 75 years and older are crucial for their care and community revitalization. In addition, frailty prevention is essential to ensuring a healthy, long-lived community. In this study, we investigated 12 items related to frailty through a health assessment questionnaire for older adults in Tottori City to understand the relationship between their health conditions and residential environments. The 12 frailty-related items were classified into four health factors through categorical factor analysis, and older adults were classified into six types through cluster analysis. Decision tree analysis revealed that, in addition to age, the locations of lifestyle-related service stores, mass retailers, and general merchandise stores affect the health conditions of adults aged 75 years and older.
