Background  In 2015 in Japan 12.7% of people die at home. Since the government has no policy to increase the number of hospital beds, at-home deaths should inevitably increase in the near future. Previous researches regarding expected place of death have focused on end-of-life patients. The aim of this study is to clarify the percentage and factors of senior people who expect at-home deaths whether they are end-of-life or not.    Methods  Using cross-sectional questionnaire survey data which had been taken by a research group with the support from Tama City Medical Association (Tokyo) in 2014, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify associations among factors. The dependent variable was the expected site of death and other factors were set as independent variables.    Results  Of 1781 respondents, 46.5% expected at-home deaths. Data from 1133 people were analyzed and 46.5% of those wanted at-home deaths. Factors significantly associated with expectation of at-home death were men, stand-alone houses for dwelling, expectation to continue life in Tama city, twosome life with the spouse, healthiness, and economic challenge.    Conclusion  Percentage of those who expected at-home deaths was much higher than the latest percentage of at-home deaths. Some factors associated with expectation of at-home deaths in this study have never been discussed.
