| Research Abstract |
This study attempted to examine association between social capital (hereafter SC), positive psychological conditions and health status among older population in the community. For first study, SC and health behaviors, specifically participation on health check-up in the community were examined. Result showed SC indicators, such as higher social trust, reciprocity and increased number of group participation were associated with higher odds ratio on participation of health check-up. For second study, higher levels of cognitive SC were associated with better health conditions among men and women. Furthermore, bridging type of SC showed significant association with health rather than bonding type of SC among women. For third study, trait optimism showed association with better perception on one’s health among men and women.
