This study analyzed the effect trend of related factors on the suicidal ideation of the elderly using the 6-year longitudinal data (2012-2017) in the Korea Welfare Panel. To this end, the factors related to elderly suicide were regional, sex and marital status, economic activity, poverty home, elderly welfare, hospital visits, depression, and self-esteem. In order to consider the inherent intrinsic properties of this panel data, we analyzed the random-intercept fixed-effect logit GLMM, where demographic and social factors are fixed-effect variables and other factors are random-effect variables. Based on the results of this study, the importance of a differentiated approach between regional and sex and marital status types was discussed in relation to social welfare interventions to alleviate suicide problems in the elderly. In particular, the effect of sex and marital status on the suicidal ideation risk of the elderly was 2.3 times higher in male living alone than male living with family, while the significant difference in female living alone was not accepted. In addition, the group of male living alone was associated with high depression, low self-esteem, and poor economic factors. Therefore, it is necessary to provide preventive programs for elderly suicide that can increase self-esteem and relieve depression by expanding family tie and social support network for them.
