摘要：Since health and the quality of life are caused not by a single factor but by the interaction of multiple factors, it is necessary to develop a model that can predict the quality of life using multiple risk factors rather than to identify individual risk factors. This study aimed to develop a model predicting the quality of life based on C-SVM using big data and provide baseline data for a successful old age. This study selected 2,420 elderly (1,110 men, 1,310 women) who were 65 years or older and completed the Seoul Statistics Survey. The quality of life satisfaction, a binary outcome variable (satisfied or dissatisfied), was evaluated based on a self-report questionnaire. This study performed a Gauss function among the SVM algorithms. To verify the predictive power of the developed model, this study compared the Gauss function with the linear algorithm, polynomial algorithm, and sigmoid algorithm. Additionally, CSVM and Nu-SVM were applied to four kernel algorithm types to create eight types, and prediction accuracies of the eight SVM types were estimated and compared. Among 2,420 subjects, 483 elderly (19.9%) were not satisfied with their current lives. The final prediction accuracy of this SVM using 625 support vectors was 92.63%. The results showed that the difference between CSVM and Nu-SVM was negligible in the models for predicting the satisfaction of life in old age while the Gaussian kernel had the highest accuracy and the sigmoid kernel had the lowest accuracy. Based on the prediction model of this study, it is required to manage local communities systematically to enhance the quality of life in old age.
