Abstract
Little research exists that explores which domains of life satisfaction contributed to life satisfaction among Korean older adults with a physical disability. The purpose of this study was to investigate which domains of life satisfaction predicted life satisfaction by the identified different age groups among Korean older adults with a physical disability. This study analyzed the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED) collected in 2015 in Korea. A total of 2331 participants were used and examined their socio-demographic status, the satisfaction of life domains (social, health, finance, leisure, work and marital), and the overall life satisfaction. The results show that marital and employment statuses play an important role in promoting the overall life satisfaction for adults and older adults with a physical disability. In addition, this study suggests that the social and leisure satisfaction of an individual are the major contribution to life satisfaction among older adults (aged 55 and over) who have a physical disability.
