Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the health status and health behavior practices of elders living in urban areas.

Method: The participants were selected by convenience sampling and consisted of 137 elders 65 or over living in a city in Kyunggi Province. Data collection was done through interviews using a structured questionnaire.

Results: Of the participants, 66.4% perceived their health status as ‘not healthy‘. The average number of present illnesses reported by the elders was 1.7. The average scores for health behavior practices were low (smoking cessation: 1.64, drinking abstinence: 1.79, exercise: 0.40, regular diet: 1.54, weight control: 1.67, regular physical check-up: 0.77). The scores for health behaviors practices showed significant differences according to general characters and health status.

Conclusion: Health promotion programs for elders should be designed to enhance health behaviors practices.
