A Structural Equation Model of Innovation Effects on the Quality of Life of the Elderly in Bangkok and Its Vicinity
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
Bangkok, Thailand, is a major economic hub with a large and growing elderly population. This research aimed to (1) examine the quality of life of the elderly in Bangkok and its vicinity, (2) examine innovation models affecting their quality of life, and (3) propose future business policy directions for the elderly. The study population comprised an estimated 1,447,606 elderly residents of Bangkok and its surrounding provinces, from which a sample of 400 people was drawn using a questionnaire. Frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used for descriptive analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for the analysis of the innovation model. The findings were as follows: (1) the elderly's overall quality of life was at a moderate level, with physical health at a high level; (2) the structural model of innovation effects on the elderly's quality of life (EQIE) was consistent with the empirical data (CMIN/DF = 2.686, NFI = .963, CFI = .976, TLI = .967, RMSEA = .022), meeting all specified fit criteria, and all three hypothesized paths (H1–H3) were supported.
