This study provides a systematic review on the domestic literature for middle-aged and older adults in Korea applying the Cumulative Advantage and Disadvantage Theory. Using four databases(KCI, RISS, KISS, and e-Article), a total of 2,063 papers were searched in domestic journals published by August 31, 2020 by combining search terms such as cumulative benefits, cumulative advantages, cumulative disadvantages, and Matthew effect. In the first stage of the literature selection process, duplicate documents were removed and gray literature (various reports, thesis presentations, dissertations) and documents written in foreign languages were excluded. Next, qualitative research and documents not related to Cumulative Advantage and Disadvantage Theory were excluded. In the last stage, through a full text review process, the final 14 articles that meet the research purpose were included and analyzed. As a result of the study, first, the Cumulative Advantage and Disadvantage Theory was used in an attempt to identify mechanisms such as income inequality and health (mental, physical, and subjective health) in various academic fields. In addition, secondary data (panel data) were used for all literature, and because of the nature of the theory, it was designed and analyzed as a longitudinal study rather than a cross-sectional study. Second, the Cumulative Advantage and Disadvantage Theory has been used interchangeably with 10 different terms, but in common, the basic process is that the advantages or disadvantages that occur in the early stages of life are accumulated from the past and affect the overall life. Third, socioeconomic factors such as education and income in cumulative events were used the most. And depression in cumulative results was treated the most. Fourth, as a result of examining the influence relationship between cumulative events (independence) and cumulative results (dependent), the factors significantly affecting depression were income, personal education, and difficulty in living, and experiences of dropping out of school. The most significant factor influencing inequality was educational background. Based on these results, suggestions for follow-up studies applying the Cumulative Advantage and Disadvantage Theory were presented.
