Results : The users mainly used senior centers‘because they of their friends’ 55% indicated that they used centers four to five times a week. 45.9% were satisfied with their center, and 20.2% indicated that‘various programs’were needed to make the centers attractive. Of the non-users, 43.5% indicated that they did not use the centers for their lack of‘enjoyable’activities, and 46.5% indicated that‘various programs’should be developed to make the centers attractive. Programs favored by both users and non-users included exercise, hobbies and entertainment and health programs.
