Smokers accounted for 31.7% and drinkers 34.7%, with 55.3%t of the low-activity group making up the largest amount of physical activity. The quality of life score was $13.31{\pm}1.828$.

본 연구는 1인 가구의 건강생활습관과 삶의 질 특성을 확인하여 상관성을 분석한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 한국의료패널 2015년 자료를 활용하여 1인 가구라고 응답한 설문 자료에서 건강생활습관 및 삶의 질 관련 변수를 선정하였다. 우리나라 1인 가구의 평균 나이는 68.19세로 여성이 71.3%를 차지하였으며, 사별로 인한 1인 가구가 64.8%였으며, 주관적 건강상태는 '보통'이 42.3%였다. 흡연자는 31.7%, 음주자는 34.7%였으며, 신체활동량은 비활동군이 55.3%로 가장 많았다. 삶의 질은 15점 만점에 $13.31{\pm}1.828$점이었으며, 흡연빈도, 음주빈도, 신체활동과 삶의 질 점수는 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 다인 가구와의 비교연구를 통해 흡연 및 음주가 삶의 질에 영향을 끼치게 되는 매개 요인에 대해 심층적으로 탐색할 필요가 있다. 또한, 본 자료를 바탕으로 1인 가구를 대상으로 하는 사회관계를 지지하는 신체활동 증진 프로그램을 지원할 필요가 있다. 또한, 국가적 차원에서 사회적 지원 체계의 마련을 위해 노력해야 할 것이다.
