| 内容記述 | Meals are essential for everyone to survive. However, as people’s health and mobility decline, their access to meals becomes problematic, especially for the elderly living alone. Based on field research conducted in the United States and Japan, this paper examines various innovative ways in which meals have been used to ensure the well-being of the elderly. The paper first examines various barriers imposed upon access to meals for the elderly in super-aging societies. Then, it turns to an examination of the roles of senior centers and senior day-service centers in that respect. One of the most important services for the elderly in American senior centers is the congregate meal program, which ensures a nutritionally-balanced meal at least once a day, thus helping them maintain independent lives, and provides opportunities for them to socialize with other seniors. The paper also looks at a similar case of Japan, with a discussion of one particular senior day-service center and its creative ways to channel participants toward really “working” in a rehabilitation program without feeling forced to do so. The third section of the paper examines efforts and programs to support seniors who are homebound. Going shopping and getting daily goods such as food are serious problems for the elderly living in depopulated villages with limited public transportation. Also, many seniors suffer from chronic illnesses that impose dietary restrictions. The paper discusses meal-delivery services in the United States, as well as a community-based collaborative model involving various actors, including local governments, corporations, social agencies, and neighborhood associations in Japan. This paper argues that merely helping the elderly gain access to meals is not enough to ensure their well-being. The measures taken must also contribute to the following: ■ Maintaining independent living at home. ■ Ensuring that meals are nutritionally-balanced and respect dietary restrictions. ■ Providing opportunities for the elderly to socialize with other people, at little cost. ■ Facilitating opportunities for the elderly to find meaningful lives in their old age through meal-related activities. |

| 内容記述 | 少子高齢化が急速に進む中，本稿では，食事を高齢者のウェルビーイングの 観点から考察する。食事は，自立と社会的なつながりに密接に関係し，人間が 生きるために基本的な事である。しかし，高齢になるとともに，この基本的な 事柄が一つの課題となる。本稿では，まず，高齢者が直面する食へのアクセス の問題を検討する。次に，アメリカと日本における調査から，シニアセンター やシニアデイサービスセンターの食事プログラムや，在宅にいて外出が困難な 高齢者に対する先駆的な試みを行っている事例を取り上げる。これらの事例を 分析した結果，高齢者のウェルビーイングには，単に，高齢者が食へのアクセ ス手段を獲得する事のみでは十分ではなく，（1）自立した在宅生活を可能にす ること，（2）栄養バランスや食事制限に配慮した食事内容であること，（3）社 会参加を可能にすること，そして，（4）高齢者の生きがい形成につながるよう な取組であることの重要性を論じる。 |
