[Senior Awareness Survey] 80.7% Willing to Improve Posture, but Nearly 30% "Do Nothing"; Cosmo Lab Conducts Major Survey on Posture (Stoop/Kyphosis) Among 958 Seniors

Cosmo Lab, operated by Cosmo Health Co., Ltd., conducted an online survey of 958 seniors aged 50+ in Japan regarding their posture. The results revealed that while 80.7% are willing to improve their posture, nearly 30% are not taking any measures. Furthermore, awareness of "enpai" (kyphosis), the rounding of the back due to aging, was low at 17.1%. The survey highlights that muscle weakness and lack of exercise are strongly perceived as causes of poor posture, indicating a gap between health consciousness and action among seniors.
