Abstract

The purpose of this study was to observe the health status of the elderly, and to investigate the correlation between their health status and quality of life. Data from the years 2010 and 2011 were used which are from the fifth edition of the 'Survey of the Korean National Health and Nutrition'. According to multiple regression analysis, perceived health status, chronic illness, stress, depression, and suicidal thoughts were important factors in quality of life. Above all, the most important factor was perceived health status (its explanatory power was 36.5%). In conclusion, perceived health status has strong effects on the quality of life in the elderly, and it is necessary to provide more extensive welfare projects to improve the quality of life in Korean elderly.
