연령구분에 따른 노년층 여가참여 특성 분석과 현행 노인 기준의 재검토

초록

This study examined age-group differences in exercise participation motivation and leisure constraints among older adults. A total of 286 questionnaires were collected nationwide and analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 23.0, with participants classified into three age groups: 55–65, 65–75, and 75 years and older. Health-related motivation was higher in the younger age groups than in the oldest group. In contrast, health and social constraints were more pronounced in the older age groups, while confidence constraints were lower in the younger groups. These findings suggest that the conventional definition of older adults as those aged 65 and over does not adequately reflect functional and social differences across age groups.
