Results: 1. The average mark of health-promotion lifestyle in the elderly was 2.69 points. The health responsibility was the highest with 2.91 points. 2. The mark of health-promotion lifestyle was higher in the higher educational level of the elderly(p<0.01), when monthly income is more than 2 million won(p<0.01), and in the better subjective awareness of oral condition(p<0.01). 3. The group with high mark of health-promotion lifestyle regarded reliability(p<0.001), economic efficiency(p<0.01), and facilities & cleanliness(p<0.01) as important factors when selecting dental institution.
