Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study factors influencing the well-being of the elders, and to construct predictive equation for well-being of the elder. The samples were 295 old people in Songpenong subdistrict, Thamai district, Chanthaburi province, and two-stage sampling method was used. Descriptive statistics, i.e., frequency and percentage and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Binary Logistic Regression Analysis by enter method at 0.05 significance level was also used as inferential statistics. The results showed that the developed model and independent variables were fitting and suitable to explain the well-being of
the elderly at 52.70 percent. In addition, it could be used to construct a predictive equation with 95.90 percent correctness. The most four related variables included working (X3), financial flow (X4),family (X6), and good administration of the state (X7). When assigned Ŷ as well-being of the elder.The model was shown as: Ŷ = 2.824X3 + 1.441X4 + 1.208X5 + 1.447X7
