Purpose: The study evaluated the effectiveness of health promotion program on the physical fitness and quality of life
of elderly women receiving home visiting health care services.
Methods: There were 122 elderly women participants.
The data were collected between March and December 2019. The participants were provided with the 36-weeks health
promotion program consisting of health education, such as nutrition, depression, urinary incontinence, fall, oral care, and
exercises, such as stretching, weight-bearing exercise, and elastic resistance training. The balance, muscle strength,
flexibility, and quality of life were measured before and after the program. The results were analyzed with paired t-test
using the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program.
Results: The dynamic balance, muscle strength, flexibility significantly increased.
Conclusion: The health promotion program positively affected elderly women in terms of physical fitness, but there are
limitations to increasing the quality of life of elderly women. Through this study, it is necessary to be supplemented in
