Objectives: To analyze the relationships of socioeconomic status(SES) to health status and health behaviors in the elderly. Methods: Data were obtained from self-administered questionnaire of 4,587 persons, older than 65 years, living in a community. We measured the sociodemographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, health status (subjective health status, acute disease, admission experience, dental state, chronic disease etc.), activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and mini-mental state examination-Korean (MMSEK). Binary and multinominal logistic regression analyses were employed to analyze factors affecting on the socioeconomic status of the elderly. Results: With regard to the SES and health status, those with a low SES had poorer subjective health states and lower satisfaction about their physical health. Also, acute disease experiences, admission rates and tooth deciduation rates were higher in those of low SES. In the view of physical and cognitive functions, the ADL, IADL and MMSE-K scores were also lower in those of low SES. However, with regard to health behaviors, lower smoking and alcohol drinking rates were found in the low SES group, and a similar trend was shown with regular physical exercise, eating breakfast, and regular physical health check-up. From these findings, we surmise that those with low SES have a poorer health condition and less money to spend on health, therefore, they can not smoke or drink alcohol, exercise and or have a physical health check-up. Conclusion: This study suggests that socioeconomic status plays an important role in health behaviors and status of the elderly. Low socioeconomic status bring about unhealthy behavior and poor health status in the elderly. Therefore, more specific target oriented(esp. low SES persons) health promotion activities for the elderly are very important to improve not only their health status, but their health inequity also.

본 일개 지역의 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 건강에 대한 주관적 인식정도를 중심으로 일반적 특성, 건강 습관 및 관리 요인, 암 관련 요인 파악하여 노인의 건강증진 연구의 기초자료로 활용하고자 시행되었다. 생활수준에 대한 인식은 연구대상자 50.7%가 중간수준이라고 응답하였다. 현재 건강상태가 일상생활을 방해하는지 조사한 결과 건강수준 인식이 좋지 못 할수록 현재 건강상태로 인하여 일상생활을 방해받는다고 하였다. 건강관리 방법은 건강정도 인식이 나쁘거나 좋지 못한 그룹은 의약품으로 관리한다는 빈도가 가장 높은 반면, 건강정도 인식이 좋다고 생각하는 그룹은 인체에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 음주 혹은 흡연을 하지 않거나 끊는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 10년 안에 암 발생 가능성에 대한 인식은 건강인식이 좋다고 그룹은 42.7.%, 보통인 그룹은 47.6%, 나쁘다고 생각하는 그룹은 52.0%로 응답하였다. 노인들도 건강에 대한 올바른 습관을 지속적으로 유지할 수 있도록 제도적인 뒷받침이 있어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
