본 연구는 노인들의 동거유무에 따라 건강관련 삶의 질 차이를 분석하여, 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향 요인을 파악하고 노인들의 건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있도록 보건의료 프로그램과 정책 개발의 근거자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 제 7기 3차년도 국민 건강영양조사 연구의 원시자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 독거노인의 건강관련 삶의 질이 동거노인의 삶의 질보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 독거노인의 경우 우울, 주관적 건강상태, 연령, 스트레스가 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인이었고, 동거노인의 경우 우울, 주관적 건강상태, 연령, 성별, 손상, 스트레스가 영향요인이었다. 노인들의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 원인에 대한 지속적인 연구를 통해 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하여 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질 관련 프로그램 개발에 반영이 이루어져야 한다.
