Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to test a hypothetical model of successful aging based on the selection-optimization-compensation (SOC) model in Korean older women. The obtained results confirm that SOC strategies, subjective health status, and family support exert significant direct effects on the successful aging of older women, while depression and social support have indirect effects. Successful aging can be achieved by improving SOC strategies and social factors for older women. It is necessary to develop social services that replace the support traditionally received from the family in response to recent changes in family values in Korea.
