Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate the factors influencing health promotion behaviors in elderly men.
Methods : We used data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We analyzed difference between sociodemographic characters, health statuses, and health promotion behaviors by age. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relation between health promotion behaviors and sociodemographic factors by age.
Results : Health promotion behaviors related to aging were weight control effort, health screen examination, smoking cessation, and influenza vaccination. Socioeconomic statuses of elderly men declined from the preliminary age, and health status was influenced by the reduction of social role. Health promotion behaviors such as weight control, health screen examination, and performance of aerobic activities were decreased in men of advanced aged.
Conclusions : The health promotion behaviors of elderly men differed significantly with age.
