Abstract

This study attempted to identify factors affecting the subjective health perception of middle-aged women. Secondary data analysis was conducted based on the first year of the 9th National Health and Nutrition Survey by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, and 969 middle-aged women aged 40 to 59 were the final analysis subjects. We set the following variables to increase the value of the paper: age, economic activity status, subjective body type perception, perceived stress, average daily sleep time, and daily sitting time. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS WIN 25.0 program, and descriptive statistics, t-test, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were performed. Through this study, we found that subjective health perception was mainly influenced by perceived stress, subjective body shape perception, age, and daily sitting time. In order to increase the level of subjective health perception, it is necessary to provide necessary health management programs by age, and it is necessary to establish a management program that can change body shape perception into positive thinking.
