A total of 200 copies were collected and analyzed, and the results found the followings: First, in terms of age and duration of living alone, ‘70s’ and ‘20 years or longer’ were the highest respectively. When asked about economic situations and health conditions, ‘poor economic conditions’ and ‘bad’ were most responded each. Second, concerning differences between cosmetology interest factors and life satisfaction by subjects’ personal characteristics, interest in hairstyles and makeup was the highest at below age 80 and good health conditions. In addition, interest in nail art was high under good subjective health conditions. Life satisfaction was the highest at good health conditions or when a house is owned. Third, in relationships between interest in cosmetology and life satisfaction, it was ‘hairstyle’ which had an influence on life satisfaction only.
