초록

Purpose: The objective of this study were to examine the determinants of self-rated health, specially
focused on the effect of functional capacity of community dwelling sedentary older adults on self-rated
health.
Method: The data has been collected from 654 community-dwelling sedentary older adults (mean age:
75 years) during the period from April to June in 2007. The data were collected by the in-person interview
and direct measurement of functional capacity. The data were analyzed using chi-square test and multiple
regression analysis with the SPSS 9.1 program.
Result: The elderly rated their health as very good (3%), good (28%), fair (38%), poor (29%0, and
very poor (2%). The higher average daily walk minutes ( =0.12, p<.01), number of chair stand ( =0.10,
p<.05), scores of self-efficacy ( =0.16, p<.001) and the lower number of disease ( =-0.44, p<.001) show
better self-rated health.
Conclusion: Self-rated health is the most commonly used indicators in social epidemiology and
geriatric research because it has been known as the good predictor of mortality and reflects health related
disability. The finding suggested that daily walking habits, lower body strength, physical self-efficacy
should be considered to improve the senior's self-perception of health. The community-based intervention
associate increase these factors should be considered.
