Abstract
The goal of this research is to understand the extent to which active seniors' mobile app usage level affects their lifestyle and life satisfaction. For this, we surveyed for 15 days in early December 2021 targeting about 150 users nationwide. As the questionnaire content, the independent variable was "mobile app usage level", the parameter was "lifestyle", and the dependent variable was "life satisfaction". As a result of empirical analysis, reliability and exploratory factors between each variable were verified, and it was confirmed that internal consistency was secured. It was investigated that the concentration validity of each item was generally well confirmed. As a result of hypothesis testing by the structural equation, 'App usage level ⇨ Lifestyle' was 0.244, 'Lifestyle ⇨ Life satisfaction' 0.707, and 'App usage level ⇨ Life satisfaction 0.141' was adopted. This study shows that the higher the level of mobile app usage of active seniors, the higher the lifestyle. Also, the better the lifestyle, the better the quality of life. It is analyzed that life satisfaction will improve as the level of mobile app use increases. Therefore, in order to improve life satisfaction, it seems necessary to increase the level of app use and lifestyle.
