Abstract
This study explored the effects of social capital and living environment on the cognitive and functional health of elderly single households. This study used secondary data collected in June 2021. That data included elderly single household members living across the country, and a total of 557 elderly were used in the final analysis. As a result of the study, the level of social capital affected the cognitive and functional health of elderly single households. The age-friendly living environment had a direct effect on the cognitive health level of elderly single households, but was not directly related to functional health. Social capital and residential environment were found to have an interactive effect on cognitive and functional health in elderly single household. Based on the results of this study, there is a need to focus policy attention on an age-friendly environment and ways to form social capital.
