Abstract
The purpose of the research was to investigate the differences in quality of life by gender and to identify the factors that influence the qulatiy of life focused on health practice. Quality of Life was measured by the Korean health related Quality of Life Scale(KQOLS) which was developed to reflect the regional, cultural and emotional background. Questionnaires were collected from 115 undergraduate male and female students in D city. Male had higher KQOLS than female but there was no statistically significant difference but appeared statistically significantly higher KQOLS in the subdomains of physical functioning, Vitality, Mental health, spiritual health. A difference analysis of determinants of the quality of life in undergraduated male and female focused on health practice showed that the factors that influenced the quality of life in male were disease, regular exercise, BMI and the explanation of antecedent variables stood at 25.1%. On the other hand, these variables did not explain the quality of life in female.
