Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary habits and health-related behaviors in elderly people aged over 85 years residing in Namhae-gun Kyungnam. The subject group of this study was composed of 24 males and 76 females, the average age being 88.9$\pm$4.0 years old. The mean age of their parents' death were 67.3$\pm$15.9 years for the father and 68.1$\pm$16.6 years for the mother. Most of the subjects had a regular meal pattern consuming three meals a day, and the female (89.5%) had more regular meals than the male (66.7%). Most of the subjects showed to have no taboo foods (77.1%) and health foods or supplements (90.5%). The rates of alcohol drinking and smoking showed to be 46.8% and 31.1%, respectively, and the quantities of them were a little. Of the subjects, 65.6% spend 6∼8 hours for sleeping and 57.6% spend 4∼5 hours for activity. Most of the subjects recognized to be healthy (88.7%) and happy (62.7%).
