This study was carried out to analyze the relationship self-evaluated health status, usual health status evaluated by a member of household with social-demographic levels and health related behaviors. I obtained the health consciousness and behavior survey data which Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs conducted national-wide interview in 1995. The sample consisted of 5,330 persons aged 20~69. I select following independent variables residence, sex, age, educational level, marital status, standard of living among social-demographic variables and smoking, drinking, physical exercise, adequate sleeping, regular meals among health behavior variables and I select self-evaluated health status, usual health status as the dependent variables. The results were as follow 1. Self-evaluated health status was significantly associated with residence, sex, age, educational level, marital status, standard of living respectively(p<0.001). 2. Self-evaluated health status was significantly associated with smoking, drinking, physical exercise, regular meals, adequate sleeping respectively(p<0.001). 3. Self-evaluated health status was highly correlated with usual health status evaluated by a member of household (r=0.6916). 4. The result of multivariate analysis of variance was that physical exercise and adequate sleeping had an effect on self-evaluated health status significantly(p<0.001). 5. The health behaviors explained 0.5 percent of self-evaluated health status variance, but covariate variables of age, educational level, sex, standard of living, residence explained 11.2 percent of total variance.
