In particular, reduction of falls and fall-related injuries as well as treatments of osteoporosis is necessary for keeping activities of daily living. Fall-prevention programs and interventions including exercise and nutrition are recently prevailing among community-dwelling elderly Japanese people, some of which are revealed to have beneficial effects.
