The average ± SD value for subjective dizziness (see Table 8) was 1.379 ± 0.592 in Yakumo Town, and 1.379 ± 0.592 in Nagoya City was 1.211 ± 0.546. This result was P = 0.044* in the Mann-Whitney test, and was statistically superior to the elderly in Nagoya City. The results showed that the subjects had dizziness subjectively. The subjective taste (see Table 9) has a mean ± SD value of 0.1.607 ± 0.538 in Yakumo and 1.426±0.49 in Nagoya. This result was P = 0.027* in the Unpaired Student-t test, showing a statistically significant. From this result, it was found that the participants in rural areas subjectively felt that the taste was difficult to understand compared to those in the urban areas. The subjective sense of smell (see Table 10) was 0.701 ± 0.539 in Yakumo Town, and 0.150±0.575 in Nagoya. From this result, P = 0.017* in the Unpaired Student t-test, which is statistically significant for Yakumo Town. The results showed that older adults subjectively feel that smell is difficult to understand.
