 note = {Introduction: A coloring activity is commonly used in Japanese Occupational Therapy（ OT） for elderly people. This study investigated the process of coloring activity among younger and older people.
Subjects: The subjects were 29 younger people （age: 20.3±1.4） who were healthy （younger group）, and 18 elderly people（ age:75.4±11.9） who were receiving care at a Japanese Day-care center（ Day Care group）.
Methods: The participants were instructed to color a simple line drawing of a man and woman pounding rice with a pestle（ size: 297 x 210mm）using 24-color set of pencils. The image depicts an annual event in Japan. To record the sequence of adding colors, the line drawing was divided into the following 16 areas and labeled alphabetically （A through P）; A : Hair, B : Face, C :Clothes, D : Hands, limbs of rice-pounding man, E : Hair, F : Face, G : Clothes, H : Hands, limbs of woman assisting him, I : Wood mallet, J : Mortar, K : Rice-cake in the mortar, L : Bucket, M : Stand of bucket, N : Table, O : Rice-cake on the table, P : Background.
Results: The average coloring sequence of the younger group was as follows: A : 5.2, B : 3.9, C : 7.1,D : 4.5, E : 7.3, F : 7.1, G : 9.1, H : 7.0, I : 4.8, J : 6.5, K : 12.6, L : 10.1, M : 10.7, N : 10.3, O : 13.4, P : 15.1. The
average of coloring sequence of the Day Care group was as follows: A : 4.5, B : 9.0, C : 5.0, D : 8.5, E : 4.6, F : 8.9, G : 7.7, H : 9.0, I : 5.0, J : 7.3, K : 11.6, L : 8.8, M : 9.1, N : 7.4, O : 12.8, P : 15.1.
　Concordance of the coloring sequence analyzed by Kendall’s coefficient of concordance was significant （p<0.01）. Positive correlation of the coloring sequence of the younger group was significant in the following 10 pairs according to Spearman’s correlation coefficient: A-C, A-E, B-C, B-D, D-H, E-F, E-G, F-H, I-J and N-O. Positive correlation of the coloring sequence of the Day Care group was significant in the following 14 pairs: A-E, B-D, B-F, B-H, D-F, D-H, F-H, I-J*, I-L, I-M, J-L, J-M, J-P and K-O（ p<0.05）.
Conclusion: The parts of man, women and Wood mallet were colored earlier（ order<5.0） in both groups. This indicates that participants started painting from the principal person and device of the picture. The positive correlation in the coloring sequence indicates that each area of the
pair was colored with similar order. These findings indicate the presence of tendencies in the sequence of coloring. This information may be useful for clinical assessment and intervention by OTR for elderly people participating in coloring activity., Original Article},
