“…After controlling for older adults’ mobility, the results indicated that social participation was positively associated with life satisfaction regardless of the place of residence. This finding is concordant with previous studies that demonstrated that social engagement was associated with a higher level of life satisfaction (An & Lim, ; Hur & Cho, ; Ju, ; Park, Park, & Yum, ). These findings support the importance of social activities for older adults to have better lives.…”

South Korea has been experiencing rapid population aging. In an aging society, the need for healthy lives is greater. Two of the fundamental factors to enable independent and active life for the elderly are mobility and social participation. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between older adults’ mobility, social participation, and quality of life in South Korea. We used data from the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs and applied hierarchical regression. The major finding was that older adults’ mobility had a positive impact on their life satisfaction. After controlling for older adults’ mobility, social participation was positively associated with life satisfaction regardless of the place of residence. The findings of this study not only make a valuable contribution to further research on mobility and social participation but also provide new insight into improving older adults’ quality of life.

“…The current study sought to determine the correlates of life satisfaction among older Korean male veterans who were deployed to the Vietnam War, and found that some important variables across the lifespan had independent associations. Among demographic variables, marital status, and monthly income showed straightforward associations with life satisfaction, which is consistent with previous research findings on older Koreans (An, An, O’Connor, & Wexler, 2008 ; Hur & Cho, 2017 ) and US male Veterans (Seligowski et al, 2012 ).…”

“…Additionally, we included demographic variables (age, education, marital status, and income) given their significant relationships with life satisfaction in older Koreans. For example, life satisfaction among civilians in late life decreased with age (Lee & Lee, 2019 ; Shin & Sok, 2012 ), and those who were more educated (Kimm, Sull, Gombojav, Yi, & Ohrr, 2012 ), being married (Kim et al, 2017 ), and had higher income (Hur & Cho, 2017 ) showed higher levels of life satisfaction.…”

The current study examined correlates of life satisfaction among Korean Vietnam War Veterans. The sample included 450 male Veterans from the Korean Vietnam War Veterans Study, surveyed by mail in 2013 ( Mean age = 67.4 years old, SD = 3.0). A hierarchical analysis was conducted by entering four blocks of variables: first demographic factors, and then pre-military service, military service, and post-military service variables. Each successive regression analysis showed a significant additional contribution to the variance in life satisfaction. In the final model, Korean Veterans had higher life satisfaction when they were married, had higher monthly income and poorer childhood family environment, appraised their military service in a positive light, and had less stressors after homecoming and better perceived physical health. However, combat exposure and social support after homecoming were not independently associated with life satisfaction in the final model. These results imply that both pre- and post-military service factors, as well as cognitive appraisals of military service, should be considered in understanding the subjective well-being of Korean Vietnam War Veterans in later life.

“…Therefore, the degree of depression markedly influences life satisfaction. According to a prior study, participating in social activities increases the satisfaction of the elderly and helps maintain a positive attitude toward life [ 33 ].…”

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting depression among South Korean middle-aged and older adults using data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. Methods: We analyzed data regarding demographic characteristics, lifestyle, quality of life, cognitive level, and depression. Cognitive level and depression were evaluated using the Korean-Mini-Mental Status Examination and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, respectively. Results: Depression was correlated with age, gender, residential area, level of education, alcohol intake, regular exercise, life satisfaction, and cognitive level, but not smoking. Furthermore, depression was highly affected by age, residential area, regular exercise, life satisfaction, and cognitive level, with a prediction accuracy of 80.26% achieved through machine learning analysis. Conclusions: Various factors are associated with depression in middle-aged and older adults. Therefore, multifaceted interventions for preventing depression in these age groups are required.
