Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of location characteristics, social capital, physical conditionㆍhealth behavior, and socioㆍdemographic characteristics on health related quality of life of the elderly in extinction risk regions.

Methods : Applied a complex sample design to 31,004 people aged 65 and older from the 2019 Community Health Survey to perform t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, correlations, and hierarchical linear analyses by administrative region(Si-Gun-Gu).

Results : First, the complex sample t-test and anova analysis showed that there were differences in health related quality of life based on social capital, physical conditionㆍhealth behavior, and socioㆍdemographic characteristics. Second, In a hierarchical linear model, the model had an explanatory power of 24.920%. Regional deprivation index, having a networking, trust, social participation, increased sleep duration, binge drinking habits, higher household income, economic activity, and education were associated with higher health related quality of life. BMI, number of chronic conditions, older age, and female gender were associated with lower health related quality of life.

Conclusion : It has been demonstrated that factors affecting the health related quality of life of older adults in extinction risk regions are diverse, including physical conditionㆍhealth behavior factors, as well as location, social capital characteristics and socioㆍdemographic characteristics. The role of older adults as members of the community has been shown to be important.
