| Abstract |
This study is based on the development of an intervention program to improve the health care and health level of the elderly in seoul by considering the individual and regional influencing factors that affect the subjective health condition of the elderly living in the community of Seoul. A part of the 2021. The data of this study were integrated with data from the 'Community Health Survey', 'Life Safety Portal', and 'Seoul Open Public Data'. The subject this study were 5,737 peoples aged 65 years or older living in seoul. As a result of multi-level analysis including individual-level and regional-level variables, age, education level, household income, and alcohol consumption were identified as individual-level determinants of the subjective health status of the elderly. Regular exercise, number of chronic diseases, current smoking, satisfaction with public transportation condition, and satisfaction with medical service condition were identified as statistically significant determinants, and no statistically significant variables were identified as determinants at the regional level. The ICC value was 0.32, indicating that the overall region-level variables accounted for 3.2% of the variance in the elderly's health status. Based on these results, it is suggested that effective intervention programs and policies be developed by reflecting the results confirmed in this study in order to improve the health level of the elderly in the community in the future. |
