Based on the 2008 Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing which was conducted with Korean
men and women aged 45 years or older, descriptive and logistic regression analysis was
performed. The sample for this study was 4040 individuals who indicated they were 65 years
or older. Bi variate analyses (chi--square tests) were used to examine the differences between
men and women. Logistic regression analyses were then used to determine factors
significantly associated with health services utilization.
