The average of health knowledge was 7.94 (±1.51) out of 10 and average of health promoting behavior was 2.81 (±0.30) out of 4. Health promoting behavior showed a positive correlation with health knowledge (r=.189, p=.044). Conclusion: The health promoting behavior in the elderly was related with health knowledge.
