There are various types of health-related problems including the social and economic aspects because of a rapid population aging at the present in Korea. In particular, it is extremely important to effectively manage the health-related issues, such as a higher mortality seen in the elderly, the current burden of medical expense and many social and medical problems occurring in young-old men. This was a descriptive correlation study. The subjects were 286 among young-old men 50-65 years old. The data were analyzed with mean, SD, t-test, ANOVA, and pearson``s correlation by using the SPSS 18.0 program. Results, A health promotion behavior is very effective for prolonging the healthy lifestyle, raising the quality of life and reducing the cost of healthcare management. It was therefore necessary to examine the effects on a health-promotion behavior in young-old men. It is expected that the results of the current study could be used as the important baseline data by which the healthy lifestyle can be maintained and the geriatric policy can be designed or implemented for spending the peaceful and healthy the senile period. It is also expected that the lifestyle and health control behavior affecting the health promotion behavior in old-aged people could lead to the development of various programmes by which the healthy awareness can be expanded in young-old men.
