- Abstract
- Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of the health-related quality of life of elderly people in Korea by applying the Andersen model. Design and Sample Measures This study was a descriptive survey. Participants were 240 elderly people over 65 years of age living in a community. A hierarchical multiple regression was performed to analyze the factors related to the health-related quality of life, including predisposing, enabling, and need factors, and health behaviors. Results Conclusion Need factors, that is, self-reported health status, were the most significant in influencing the health-related quality of life of the elderly people; predisposing factors were age and education level, and enabling factors were income and activities of daily living. The findings of this study can be used to develop a community-based intervention program and to establish a policy for improving the quality of life of elderly people.
