Abstract
Summary: The path model fit the data well [e.g., chi2 = 368.309, df = 114, chi2/df = 3.231, RMSEA = .046 (90% CI = .041, .051), PCLOSE = .899, CFI = .916] after removing insignificant paths and performing modification indices. The model explained 21.5% of the variance in physical activity, 17.8% in alcohol use, and 14.0% in tobacco use. Religiosity was positively related to physical activity and negatively related to tobacco use, but was not associated with alcohol use. To more holistically understand Japanese elders' health promotion behaviors, studies that include additional variables, such as ikigai, are recommended.
