IntroductionAging is one of the most serious social issues, not only in Japan. A country’s socioeconomic conditions must be taken into account when considering the issue of rapid aging. The purpose of this review was to introduce the historical and socioeconomic background of geriatric trauma care in Japan.MethodLiterature review regarding the trauma care for the elderly written in Japanese and English.Results“PinPinKorori” is a Japanese word which symbolizes an ideal, healthy life. “NenNenkorori” is the opposite of PinPinKorori. The Japanese elderly desire to live a healthy, active life and die (PinPinKorori) rather than being bedridden and dying in agony. A bedridden individual (NenNenKorori) is a candidate for receiving end-of-life care. End-of-life care is a form of trauma care for the elderly that ensures quality of death for those in need.ConclusionsI encourage the elderly to document their advance care preferences with decision-making capacity in order to avoid futile care. Healthcare providers should strive to provide optimum care to the patients in their best interest and ensure not to provide treatment that is not desired by the patients.Level of evidenceLevel IV.

Introduction With the global aging process intensified, the demand for end-of-life care has surged, especially in China. However, its development is restricted. Understanding the life and death attitude among the elderly and its formation process, and clarifying their needs, are so important to promote social popularization of end-of-life care. Methodology This qualitative study included 20 elderly residents in Nan and Shuangbei Communities, Chongqing City, People’s Republic of China. Data were collected through semistructured in-depth individual interviews and processed by thematic analysis method. Results Three themes and eight subthemes were identified: Characteristics of formation process (passive thinking, closed and single), life-and-death attitude (cherish and enjoy life, quality of life priority, let death take its course) and expectations of end-of-life care (preferences, basic needs, good death). Discussion Life-and-death attitude and end-of-life care expectations of the elderly support the development and delivery of end-of-life care. Furthermore, the individual-family-hospital linkage discussion channel needs to be further explored.
