A 3-year survey was performed with the precede/proceed model in W-cho, Kyoto Prefecture, to plan comprehensive dietary support for the elderly. This survey provided the basic data to evaluate the methods of future dietary support for the community residents. Dietary guidance was regularly given, and measures to improve this guidance were evaluated. Most subjects of this survey could perform regular daily activities without restrictions and with some degree of self-management. However, despite the annual increase in number of households consisting of only an elderly couple, the elderly subjects did not expect to live with their children. The project was conducted in terms of not only food intake but also quality of life, so that the details could adequately reflect the wish of the subjects to live all their remaining years in W-cho. In addition, as the precede stage progressed, the number of participants in the fields of health, medicine, and welfare increased, which led to the establishment of a comprehensive policy by consensus.
