Objective: A burgeoning body of research indicates that individuals’ experiences of discrimination negatively impact health outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the association between experiences of discrimination and self-rated health in older Korean adults. Methods: A total of 9,920 older adults who responded to the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare were included in our analyses. Standard and gender-stratified logistic regression were used to examine the relationship between experiences of discrimination, including both interpersonal and institutional discrimination, and self-rated health. Results: Older adults who experienced interpersonal discrimination had a higher likelihood of reporting poor health (OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.05–1.26). In addition, male older adults who experienced interpersonal discrimination were more likely to report poor self-rated health (OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.19–1.59), while no significant relationship was found in female older adults. Conclusion: Since older adults’ experiences of interpersonal discrimination negatively affect their self-rated health, efforts need to be made to reduce micro-aggressions in their daily lives. Furthermore, policy implementation for campaigns and educational programs is necessary to facilitate a deeper understanding of micro-aggressions and their negative effects on older adults’ health.
