Methods: From March 1, 2004 to July 30, 2004, 107 male patients aged 30 to 59 who visited the family medicine clinic in a university hospital and had agreed to participate in the study have been assessed to determine the correlation between health age and health-related quality of life by measuring tools of health risk appraisal, CMCHS V1.0 questionnaire and Yangseng measurement questionnaire.
Results: Among the total 107 subjects, 3 were excluded because of incomplete questionnaire. There were 28 people aged in their thirties, 36 in forties, and 40 in fifties. The health age and health-related quality of life showed a negative correlation. The correlation in men in their fift showed the strongest. Indexes between the health age and health perception, changes in health, vitality, morality Yangseng, diet Yangseng, sleep Yangseng and active and rest Yangseng have shown a strong negative correlation (P＜0.05).
