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.
