| | Objective : This study aimed to investigate health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) by demographic characteristics (sex, educational achievement, and residential area) according to the lifestyle classifications of the Yonsei Lifestyle Profile-BREF (YLP-BREF). | | Methods : This study included 569 participants aged 55 years or older living in Korea. The YLP-BREF domains were physical activity, activity participation, and nutrition | | Results : Females had a longer HALE (mean± standard deviation, 8.90± 5.06 years) in the physical activity domain, while
males had a longer HALE in the nutrition domain (9.44± 5.91 years). People living in rural areas had longer HALE in physical
activity (12.02± 5.60 years), activity participation (8.58± 4.21 years), and nutrition (11.33± 6.43 years). There were no significant differences according to sex or residential area. High school graduates showed the longest HALE (physical activity: 10.38±
6.89; activity participation: 7.64± 4.29; nutrition: 9.59± 6.40 years). There was a significant difference in educational achievement. | | Conclusion : As people age, the demand for a healthy lifestyle increases. This study attempted to calculate HALE by demographic characteristics according to lifestyle. The results of this study will help inform future research directions for providing a healthy lifestyle. |
