摘要：
Lifelong healthcare is now a global challenge and attracting attention worldwide. An investigation from the WHO reported that most current healthcare paradigms still have common problems. In this lecture, the historical development and the latest achievements of healthcare-related issues worldwide will be briefly reviewed. A government-funded project, “Challenge to 100 years of age” which involved more than 600 residents in West Aizu village since 1994, will be outlined. Afterwards the recent researches on system development in cooperation with nursing homes and local hospitals will be introduced. These studies include pregnant women, healthy subjects and patients with chronic diseases. The outcomes reveal long-term dynamics in health condition of patient and healthy subjects, unveil elder and youngster life behaviors, and contribute to a better understanding of maternal cardiac changes during pregnancy and after delivery.
