Abstract

|
The meaning of successful aging in the aging society has focused on how to improve old adults’ QOL(quality of life), and a healthy status would be a key factor of improving the QOL as well as keeping a happy life. Both physical and mental health for people in the late adulthood might be dependent upon how to use their leisure time. Their leisure activities are generally classified into productive leisure and consumptive leisure activities. Most Korean old adults tend to concentrate on consumptive leisure activities such as simple diversions, entertainments or social activities. The main reason why they did not pay attention to the productive leisure activities might be lack of educational program on leisure use. Thus, health-related program including especially leisure use should be developed to improve the old adults’ QOL.
