이 연구의 주된 목적은 주택연금제도의 이용의향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하되 예비노인과 노인을 구분하여 살펴보는 것이다. 특히 주택연금제도의 이용의향에 영향을 미치는 변수 중 인구사회 및 경제학적 변수를 포함하여 자녀관련 요인이나 노후대비 관련 요인 등 선행연구에서 조명하지 못했던 변수들을 중심으로 다른 변수들의 영향력을 통제한 후에 이들이 얼마만큼 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 그 결과 예비노인과 노인에게서 공통적으로 나타났던 결과들은 자녀와의 관계적 측면과 관련된 변수인 주택상속의향이었으며, 다르게 나타났던 결과들은 예비노인의 경우 주택연금제도 이용에 대한 자녀의 찬성정도와 더불어 삶의 질 향상 측면으로 대표되는 다양한 여가활동을 즐길 수 있다는 판단이며, 노인의 경우 주택연금이 자녀부담감소에 도움이 될 것이라는 인식과 더불어 건강상태로 대표되는 경제적인 측면이 주택연금제도 이용의향에 더 영향을 미쳤음을 살펴볼 수 있었다.
