TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Examining Housing Environments and Health Status of Older Adults with Physical Disabilities in South Korea JO - Journal of aging and social policy A1 - Kim, Miok A1 - Woo, Bongki A1 - Kim, Hyun-Jun A1 - Yi, Eunsil A1 - Hong, Seunghye SP - 725 EP - 739 VL - 33 IS - 6 N2 - The present study examined the relationships between housing environments and health and well-being among older adults with physical disabilities in South Korea. Data are from the 2014 National Survey on Persons with Disabilities. We modelled four health and well-being outcomes - perceived stress, depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and life satisfaction - by various housing environments among 2,077 older adults with physical disabilities. The results illustrate that home ownership and perceived house accessibility are associated with health and well-being.

FINDINGS indicate that efforts to promote the health of older adults with physical disabilities need to be accompanied by improvements in their housing environment.
