Research [13-16] has shown that health-related factors are important determinants of older Koreans using health services utilization and health-related factors, rather than socioeconomic factors, are the better predictors of the use of Western medical services or traditional Korean medicine. It is important to consider the health status of the elderly because of their susceptibility to chronic conditions, such as arthritis, hypertension and diabetes.
