As society rapidly ages, older adults are becoming an important national issue. Health is a multidimensional concept and both objective and subjective health must be managed. This study investigated factors that influence the subjective and objective health of older adults. This study analyzed the data of 9391 people aged ≥65 years using raw data from a 2020 survey of senior citizens. The relationships among the characteristics of older adults, such as demographic variables, lifestyle, external activities, environment, physical function, depression, cognition, activities of daily living, satisfaction with life and health, perceived health level, and number of diseases, were investigated. Older adults who drink and do not exercise generally have good objective health but poor subjective health. Older adults who mainly engage in external activities tend to have poor subjective health despite good objective health. The factors affecting subjective health in older adults were depression, cognition, physical factors, activities of daily living, and satisfaction. This study identified the differences between subjective and objective health based on the characteristics of older adults. As many variables affecting the health of older adults have been identified, these basic data will help prepare various programs to promote a healthy life for older adults.
随着社会迅速老龄化，老年人正成为一个重要的国家问题。健康是一个多维度的概念，客观健康和主观健康都必须加以管理。本研究调查了影响老年人主观健康和客观健康的因素。本研究使用2020年老年人调查的原始数据，对9391名年龄≥65岁的人群的数据进行了分析。研究了老年人的特征之间的关系，如人口统计学变量、生活方式、外部活动、环境、身体功能、抑郁、认知、日常生活活动、对生活和健康的满意度、感知健康水平以及疾病数量。饮酒且不锻炼的老年人通常客观健康状况良好，但主观健康状况较差。主要从事外部活动的老年人尽管客观健康状况良好，但主观健康状况往往较差。影响老年人主观健康的因素包括抑郁、认知、身体因素、日常生活活动和满意度。本研究根据老年人的特征确定了主观健康和客观健康之间的差异。由于已经确定了许多影响老年人健康的变量，这些基础数据将有助于制定各种促进老年人健康生活的方案。
