Among the study subjects, most are female, illiterate, married and between 65 and 91 years old, with the average age of 75.20. Regarding the quality of life, the scores from high to low are environment scope, physical health scope, social relationship scope and mental health scope. The seniors whose index of depression scale are 5 or larger than 5 are considered as suffering from depression symptoms. There are 45seniors(39.5%) suffering from depression. Those who have more than two physical exercises every week are significantly less severe than those who only have 0-1 physical exercise every week.
