Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the related factors according to gender in baby boomers by using Korea Health Panel Data 2012.
Methods: The Korea Health Panel Data 2012 were collected from February to August 2012 by Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs and National Health Insurance Corporation and the data of 1,802 respondents categorized as baby boomers were analyzed for this study. The data were analyzed by t-test, x2 and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 20.0 program.
Results: For male, the influencing factors on HRQOL were economic activity and smoking. For female, the influencing factors on HRQOL were education, psychological and physical stress, unmet basic needs, and psychiatric drugs. The types of insurance, unmet medical needs, anxiety about the future, depression, and self-rated health status showed statistically significant relationships with HRQOL both for male and female.
