Resumen
- español
  Los comportamientos de salud son acciones humanas que influyen directa o indirectamente en nuestra salud. Los ancianos son un grupo que deben cuidar especialmente su salud. El aumento de la esperanza de vida y los costos crecientes relacionados con la atención social justifica la relevancia del tema, parece necesario brindar educación a las generaciones mayores en el campo de la promoción de la salud y el comportamiento de la salud. El estudio involucró a 689 personas mayores de 60 años en Polonia. Se aplicó una encuesta de diagnóstico, encuesta que incluyó el Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI) y un cuestionario propio. Las personas mayores tienen más comportamientos de salud asociados a las medidas profilácticas y una actitud mental positiva, pero menos relacionados con los hábitos alimentarios. Las mujeres, las personas mayores de 75 años y las personas mejor educadas y con buena situación financiera adoptan un comportamiento más saludable. Es necesario profundizar con el comportamiento de salud de las personas mayores. En este sentido, este estudio puede contribuir a una mejor calidad de vida en la población anciana.

  Health behaviour are human actions which directly or indirectly influence our health. The elderly are a group of people who should especially take care of their health. Taking up this issue is justified by the rising life expectancy of the society and the related increasing costs of social care. Considering the current situation, it seems required to provide the older generation with education in the field of health promotion and health behaviour. The study involved 689 individuals over 60 years of age from Poland. A diagnostic survey was applied in the research. A survey technique was used including the Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI) and own questionnaire. Elderly people have more health behaviour associated with prophylactic measures and a positive mental attitude, but least related to eating habits. Women, people over 75 years of age and better educated people with good financial standing adopt significantly more health behaviour. The subject concerning health behaviour of elderly people needs to be further explored and completed. This study may contribute to better quality of life in elderly population.
