Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to identify expectations regarding aging and health-promoting behaviors and to examine whether expectation regarding aging was associated with health-promoting behaviors among community-residing Korean adults. Data were collected from 233 adults dwelling in the community of Daegu and Kyungpook province. The influence of expectations regarding on health-promoting behaviors was analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression controlling for sociodemographic variables. As a result, the mean score of expectations regarding aging was significantly lower in 40s and 50s than 20s and 30s. The participants had the lowest expectations regarding aging in terms of physical health domain and the highest expectations in terms of mental health domain. No significant differences were found in health-promoting behaviors among different age groups. After controlling for sociodemographic variables, expectations regarding aging were independently associated with health-promoting behaviors in adults in 20s~30s but not in those in 40s~50s. The findings suggest the need for encouraging Korean adults to strive for having positive and active perspective on aging and for getting higher expectations regarding aging, in particular, for 20s and 30s, as a health-promoting strategy.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 성인층을 대상으로 연령대별 노화에 대한 기대수준과 건강증진행위 정도를 파악하고, 노화기대가 개인의 건강증진행위에 미치는 영향에 대해 확인하기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 대구 경북지역의 지역사회에 거주하는 만 20~50대 성인 233명으로, 직접 접촉을 통한 설문 조사로 자료를 수집하였으며, 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 자료 분석하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 노화기대 점수는 연령대가 높을수록 낮게 나타나, 노화에 대해 부정적인 생각을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대상자의 노화기대 점수는 신체건강 영역에서 가장 낮았고 정신건강 영역에서 가장 높았다. 각 연령대별로 건강증진행위는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 20~30대 대상자에서는 노화기대가 건강증진행위에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 40~50대 집단에서는 유의한 영향이 없었다. 따라서 노화를 긍정적이며 능동적이고, 자연스러운 자기선택적인 변화로 바라볼 수 있도록 인식의 전환을 유도 할 필요가 있겠으며, 특히 20~30대의 건강증진행위를 증진하기 위한 전략으로서 긍정적인 노화기대를 가지도록 지지할 필요가 있겠다.
