The resilience in the elderly is one of the essential personal resources to cope with retirement and physical, mental and social changes in old age, and plays an important role in improving the quality of life in old age and leading to successful aging. Therefore, this study confirmed the effects of demographic factors, physical health factors, mental health factors, and social health factors on the resilience in the elderly in order to verify the variables related to resilience in the elderly over 65 years of age. This study analyzed the data of 402 people among the data of Frailty Literacy Survey on Korean elderly people led by Kyunghee University in 2017. As a result of Multiple Regression analysis, in terms of demographic factors, the lower the age of the elderly is and the higher the economic level of the elderly is, the higher the resilience in the elderly is demonstrated. Additionally, as for the physical health factors, the higher the self-reported health condition is and the less the use of outpatient services is, the higher the resilience in the elderly is presented. Moreover, as for the mental health factors, the lower older people suffer from depression and the higher they report the level of life satisfaction, the higher the resilience in the elderly is noted. Finally, in terms of social health factor, the less the elderly feels social alienation, the higher the resilience in them is showed. Based on these results, this study suggests political implications and practical ways of intervention regarding the necessity for life cycle programs to improve the resilience in the elderly.
