Abstract
Background: This study examined factors associated with later-life preparation among aging individuals with disabilities living in South Korea.
Methods: We used secondary data from 2,942 individuals aged 50 and older from the Disability Life Panel Survey and performed binary logistic regression.
Results: Most participants did not prepare for later life and were men, had a high school education or less, and were unemployed. Logistic regression identified factors associated with later-life preparation: education level and employment status (Sociodemographic characteristics); types of disability and recent health condition (health condition); self-esteem and disability acceptance (psychological factors); and residential environment assessment and satisfaction with family relationships (environmental factors).
Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to preparing aging individuals with disabilities for later life.
