The purpose of this study is to examine the trends of domestic successful aging research by using topic modeling, and to seek directions for future developmental research. To this end, a total of 279 academic papers for the abstracts related to successful aging which were published in the Korean Journal of Academic Registration (KCI), were selected by July 26, 2023 with no year restrictions. and extracted 720 keywords through data preprocessing. Based on this, keyword frequency analysis and keyword network analysis using NetMiner to identify and visualize the connectivity between keywords. In addition, eight topics (influencing factors of successful aging according to a multidimensional approach, successful aging in middle-aged phase, policy development for leisure activities and preparations for old age, social domain of successful aging concept, enhancement of social relationships and positivity through participation in lifelong education programs, desire for education in old age and need to expand lifelong education from a whole-life development perspective, health of older women in an aging society, engage in learning and build cultural capital for successful aging attitudes) were derived using topic modeling. and visualized the topic network structure to identify 2 connectivity groups, and the change of topics over time was analyzed. through this, we reviewed the overall trend and suggested future directions and implications for successful aging research.
