Based on a joint research agreement concluded between the Japan Geriatrics Evaluation and Research Organization (JAGES Organization) and Yokohama City on September 1, 2016, participation in the Yokohama Walking Point Project will affect motor function and depression. As a result of examining the impact, it became clear that the Yokohama Walking Point Business was effective in preventing the increase in walking time of the participating elderly people, preventing the decline in motor function, and suppressing depression. This research is the first study to verify the effects of the Yokohama Walking Point Project, together with the background factors of the participating groups and non-participation groups.
