The data were analyzed the data using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Frequency analysis and chi-square test method was conducted. The significance level was set at p <.01. As a result of the analysis, subjective body recognition and perceived health status were identified to have a statistically significant positive relationship (r=0.256, p<.01). Perceived health status and weight change measured for a year also showed a statistically significant positive relationship (r=0.303, p<.01). Therefore, it is anticipated that the findings of this study are used as basic data for seeking ways for better health, quality of life, and well-being, as the study examines subjective health status and various variables applicable to middle-aged people.

본 연구의 목적은 연령에 따른 지각된 건강상태, 주관적 체형인식 및 체중변화와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 질병관리본부 제7차 국민건강영양조사(KNHANES VIII-3, 2016-2018) 자료를 활용한 2차 자료 분석 연구이다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석 및 카이제곱 검정을 실시하였다. 유의수준은 p <.01로 설정하였다. 분석결과, 주관적 신체인식과 건강상태 지각은 통계적으로 유의한 양의 관계가 있었다(r=0.256, p<.01). 1년 동안 지각된 건강상태와 체중 변화 사이에는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 관계가 있었다(r=0.303, p<.01). 그러므로, 중장년층을 위한 주관적 건강상태와 다양한 변인들을 알아봄으로써 더 나은 건강, 삶의 질, 그리고 웰빙을 위한 대책들을 찾기 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
