본 연구는 경제활동여부에 따른 노인의 삶의 질 영향 요인을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 본 연구대상자는 제 7기 국민건강영양조사 대상자 중 65세 이상 노인 5,991명이다. 본 연구의 변수는 인구사회학적 특성, 신체적·심리적 요인으로 구성되었으며, 자료 분석은 IBM SPSS 25.0 프로그램의 복합표본 분석을 이용하였다. 본 연구결과 경제활동을 하는 노인의 삶의 질에 영향을 준 요인은 성별, 연령, 외래이용횟수, 관절염, 활동제한, 주관적 건강, 스트레스이었고 이들의 설명력은 34.2%이었다(p<.001). 경제활동을 하지 않는 노인의 삶의 질에 영향을 준 요인은 성별, 연령, 입원 횟수, 고혈압, 관절염, 청각장애, 저작불편감, 활동제한, 주관적 건강과 스트레스이었고 이들의 설명력은 35.5%이었다(p<.001). 본 연구결과는 노인의 삶의 질 중재 시 경제활동에 따른 삶의 질 영향요인에 대한 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 경제활동여부에 따른 노인 삶의 질 향상 중재가 요구된다.
