This is a descriptive research study that analyzed collected data from 142 Korean older people. The data was analyzed through a multiple regression using SPSS 19.0. In this analysis, independent variables included Physical activity, Health-related quality of life, Reasons for living and Optimism, and a dependent variable was suicidal ideation.

In order to reduce suicidal ideation among the elderly, developing a program focusing on reinforcing individuals' strengths and its application is required.
