Methods: Therefore, this study, we employed variable expressing response to together with four demographic variables (sex, age, income, work), happiness, fractional anisotropy brain healthcare quotient (FA-BHQ) which is derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images calculations analyze relationship between them. Results: The results path analysis using data obtained 182 healthy men women showed mediates association turn associated FA-BHQ. Furthermore, correlation individual FA regions, were able confirm including limbic-thalamo-cortical pathway, responsible emotional regulation, related happiness. Conclusions: These indicate following: Men, older people, people engaged incomes avoid kawaii-ness; As result, they unable obtain sense should have; keep their brains healthy, functions, not functioning properly; This may prevent them maintaining or improving performance. study first attempt clarify scales, kawaii-ness, conditions.
