For this study, a theoretical arrangement was made through advanced researches and an empirical analysis was conducted with emphasis on research model and hypothesis setting-up. Total 3 hypotheses were built up focusing on the theoretical background and this study aimed to investigate the effect of leisure restriction on life habit and quality of life and then, to look into which role the moderating effects of preparation for old age played in life habit and quality of life. And, as a preliminary analysis, an exploratory factor analysis was performed on leisure restriction, life habit, quality of life and preparation for old age prior to hypothesis testing. According to the result of analysis on leisure restriction, total 4 factors were drawn such as intrinsic restriction, structural constraint, interpersonal constraint and surrounding awareness constraint; as for life habit, it showed 3 factors such as sporting life habit, eating habit, and daily life habit; and, as for quality of life, it showed 4 factors such as physical factor, social factor, psychological factor, and life factor. According to the result of hypothesis testing, leisure restriction had positive effect on life habit and quality of life; and, it was found that preparation for old age played a role of moderating variable in life habit and quality of life. Therefore, all the hypotheses which were suggested through theoretical ground of advanced researches were generally adopted for performance of this study. Implications were suggested accordingly.
