This study examined people over 60 years old living in Gumi, Gyeongbuk Province and their health and disease were analyzed. The results are as followings; First, as for seniors' condition of health, females were worse than males: the older they were and the lower their schooling and income were, they recognized bad health condition. Second, as for seniors' health care, males cared for themselves better than females: the higher their schooling and income were, the better they cared for themselves. Using the methods of health care such as walking, hiking, diet care, We found out that the low income class did not get the health examination at all. Lastly, as the most seniors in Gumi city suffer a chronic disease, the city office is needed to promote various policies like prevention of age-related disease, early discovery and delay of retrogression at its own initiative.
