These results were that males were higher than females in educational levels (p＝0.000) and most of them decreased according to age in educational levels (p＝0.000) and family income (p＝0.000), and prevalence of chronic diseases (p＝0.000): stomach-duodenum disease, fracture, arthritis, or hypertension. They took to the health information on TV and radio and their health managing methods were exercise and walking and resting and diet regulation. Body Mass Index (BMI) was decreased in older males (p＝0.024) but increased in older females (p＝0.001). In females, obesity prevalence of 40`s, 50`s and 60`s was 31.3%, 49.7% and 48.0%, respectively. Waist circumference was the highest in 50`s males (p＝0.015), but hip circumference was the highest in 50`s females (p＝0.015). Waist-hip ratio (WHR) increased in older males (p＝0.028) and females (p＝0.000).
