Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Change in the engagement in regular aerobic, flexibility, and/or muscle-strengthening activities from baseline to 6-year* follow-up (*Changed from 5 to 6 years; the follow-up survey was postponed for one year due to the July 2021 heavy rainfall disaster.)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Changes in each of the different activities (aerobic, flexibility, and muscle-strengthening activities), VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) pain scores and chronic pains of low back and knee from baseline to 6-year* follow-up, certification of needed long-term care, and mortality (*Changed from 5 to 6 years; the follow-up survey was postponed for one year due to the July 2021 heavy rainfall disaster.) In addition, the above-mentioned outcomes over 10 years (2010-2026) for the long-term evaluation of the intervention. Disease incidence, certification of needed long-term care, and mortality will be assessed until 2027.	—
