The purpose of this study is to examine the factors of health behavior among the elderly by applying Andersen’s model. A sample of 4,229 from the sixth KReIS was used for the statistical analyses and hierarchical logistic regression was performed. The results, showed that first, the elderly who had spouses, higher levels of social support, and no other illnesses were likely to have breakfast. Second, the elderly who were male, had higher levels of social support and satisfaction with family relationships, better health condition, and no illness were likely to demonstrate adequate sleeping time. Third, the elderly who were younger, had religion, higher levels of education, social support, better health condition, and no severe or other illnesses were likely to exercise regularly. Lastly, the elderly who were younger, had spouses and religion, showed higher levels of education, income, social support, and better health condition were likely to practice regular health check-ups. The elderly who were less satisfied with family relationships and had illness tended to practice regular health check-ups. The results mean that policy and interventions should differ depending on the factors of health behaviors among the elderly and community programs and policies are necessary for health life extension.
