  • 본 연구는 인구학적 특성, 사회경제적 특성, 건강위험행동, 가족관계 만족도가 우리나라 노인 인구 집단의 건강 수준 차이에 미치는 요인을 찾고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 한국복지패널조사 3차 조사(2008년)의 65세 이상 가구를 추출하여 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 건강 수준 차이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보도록 한다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인의 정신 건강 수준을 가늠하는 지표로서 우울감에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 보면, 교육 수준이 낮을수록, 소득이 적을수록, 음주를 하지 않을수록, 가족관계 만족도가 낮을수록 노인의 우울감이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노인의 주관적 건강상태에 미치는 요인을 보면, 교육 수준이 낮을수록, 소득이 적을수록, 음주를 하지 않을수록, 가족관계 만족도가 낮을수록 주관적 건강상태가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또 가족관계 가운데서도 노인의 배우자와의 관계, 노인의 자녀와의 만족도는 우울감과 주관적 건강상태에 영향을 미쳤다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 다음과 같은 제언을 할 수 있다. 첫째, 건강 수준의 취약집단인 여성노인을 위한 특화된 정책이 필요하다. 둘째, 건강 수준이 낮은 저소득, 저학력 노인 집단의 건강 수준을 끌어올리기 위한 특화된 정책이 필요하다. 셋째, 노인들의 건강에 영향을 미치는 가정생활 만족도를 높이기 위한 새로운 접근이 요구된다.

  • The pre-elderly approaching old age in our society confront having a harsh economic status. The main purpose of this study was to explore the factors influencing the preparation of the pre-elderly for overcoming this status. In particular, it focused on financially stable pre-elderly persons. The data from the 2008 Chungcheongnam-do Welfare Plan for Five Years collected by the Chungnam Women's Policy Development Institute was used to analyze the research questions. The participants in this study included 735 persons (ages 55-64) living in Chungcheongnam-do. Five hundred and eighty-one self-reported questionnaires were used for the final analysis using SAS, version 9.1. This study attempted to identify the important variables needed to find the factors related to socio-demographic and economic characteristics, the adult-child relationship, the preparation plan for old age, etc. The results showed that job and health status were key to preparation for financial stability among the elderly. Another finding was the importance of concrete financial planning for the elderly; that is to say, the pre-elderly who made more concrete plans than indefinite ones were likely to belong to stable households. Another significant finding was that it is important to consider both objective and subjective factors for the financial preparation of the elderly. These results should serve as reference data for the future welfare policy for the elderly, because the financial independence of the elderly will be vital for a healthy relationship between new and old generations.
