[Purpose] This study was conducted to examine physical status and life satisfaction of
workers in Korea. [Subjects] In total, 25,455 workers from eight geographical areas were
evaluated from 2007 to 2008. [Methods] Physical status of the subjects was measured based
on cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and
explosive muscular strength, and a life satisfaction index was used to measure life
satisfaction. [Results] Higher levels of cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular strength,
muscular endurance, flexibility, and explosive muscular strength of workers were
correlated with higher life satisfaction. [Conclusion] The result suggests it is necessary
to improve life satisfaction through continuous health management of workers.
