## Survey Topics

* 80.6% feel they recover from fatigue less easily.
80.6% of respondents answered that they "feel it takes longer to recover from fatigue than before." The most common period when they started feeling this difficulty in recovery was "around their 60s" (29.3%), with "around their 50s" (26.9%) also being a close percentage.
* Signs of fatigue are mainly general malaise and pain.
The most common sign of fatigue was "body sluggishness/heaviness" (59.2%). This was followed by "stiff shoulders/lower back pain" (48.0%) and "becoming reluctant to move" (45.0%). It is clear that many people perceive fatigue through changes in their physical sensations and actions.
* "Wearable" recovery goods are the most desired to continue (52.6%).
The most popular fatigue recovery goods that respondents felt they could easily continue using were "recovery wear (clothing that supports fatigue recovery just by wearing it)" (52.6%).
Sleep-related goods and sandals also ranked high, suggesting that items easily incorporated into daily life are more likely to be continued.

## 1: Recently, do you feel that it takes longer to recover from fatigue than before? (Valid respondents: 669)

Among seniors, those who felt it took longer to recover from fatigue, "Yes" (80.6%) significantly outnumbered "No" (19.4%). This result indicates that many seniors feel it is harder to recover from fatigue than before.

Furthermore, difficulty in recovering from fatigue tends to affect daily activity levels and motivation. Therefore, it is possible that many seniors are in a state where fatigue easily accumulates.

It is important to offer measures that can be easily continued once fatigue is felt.
