The purpose of this study is to identify the types of perceptions of the age-friendly environment perceived by middle-aged and elderly people, examine the characteristics of each subgroup type, and investigate how subgroup types actually affect age discrimination perception. To achieve these, the data on the “Survey on the Actual Conditions of the Elderly Residing in Daejeon Metropolitan City” about 345 middle-aged and older people were used. For analysis, Latent Profile Analysis(LPA) to verify the type of age-friendly environment perception, and multiple regression analysis to verify the effect of each subgroup type on the perception of age discrimination was performed. As a result of the analysis, the perception of age-friendliness among middle and old people was classified into three types; ‘High-level type of age-friendly environment perception’, ‘Middle-level type of age-friendly environment perception’, ‘vulnerable type of age-friendly environment perception’. In addition, in the relationship between the age-friendly perception type and the age discrimination perception, it was found that the age discrimination level was low in the type recognized as a relatively high age-friendly environment. Based on the results, various intervention efforts were discussed to improve the community environment for middle-aged and elderly people and to alleviate awareness of age discrimination.
