In order to promote well-being during old age, it is important to start preparing early on for the later life. Based on this thesis, this study examined attitudes of the middle-aged women residing in rural towns on their preparation for old age as well as related variables. For this purpose, survey data from 200 individuals were analyzed using a SAS program. The overall degree of preparation for old age was quantified as about 67 points out of a 100 possible points. The variables that affected the level of preparedness include attitude toward using a paid nursing home ($eta$=.23), type of agricultural work they engage in ($eta$=-.21), who do you think is a supporter during your old age($eta$=.20)］, type of decision-making in the household ($eta$=.17). The explanatory power of such variables as standards of living ($eta$=.18), family type ($eta$=-.18), recognition of the entrance of old age ($eta$=.17), and preparation behavior for old age ($eta$=.15) were partially proved in three sub-areas (economical, emotional, and leisure areas) of preparation. The groundwork of this study could be used as basic materials to develop an educational program to improve the attitudes toward preparation for old age.
