Purpose: This study was undertaken to identify the effect of current health conditions and preparation for old age of university students on the awareness of successful aging.
Methods: Totally, 273 university students, based across several cities in South Korea, were enrolled for the study. Data collected were analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression, using the SPSS Statistics 23.0.
Results: There were three types of hierarchical regression model for awareness of successful aging in university students. Its explanatory power of each model was adjusted R2 of .04, 07, and .31 respectively. Major (β=.14, p=.007), health condition (β=.13, p=.028), preparation for old age (β=.52, p<.001) were significant predictors of awareness of successful aging.
Conclusion: Our study results indicate that for university students, diverse interventions to promote the awareness of successful aging must focus on improving the health condition and enhancing preparation for old age.
