Abstract
Level of Life Satisfaction anGiven the nature of health conditions it seems so obvious at a first glance that one’s health status activities should contribute to his/her life satisfaction. Indeed, recent research has found positive effects of health status on objective or subjective life satisfaction. This study focused on analyzing the association between physical and mental health of the elderly and their life satisfaction based on the longitudinal data. This analysis uses data from eight waves of the 1st to 8th Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS), a large, randomly sampled longitudinal study of older adults (aged 50 and over across the observation period). The results indicate that disabilities and both physical and mental health variables contribute positively to life satisfaction. Social and economic policies can possibly reduce the difficulties are important interventions that can support successful aging. d Health Status in the Older People: Using the Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS)
