AB  - BACKGROUND: The health levels of young elderly individuals are generally low due 
      to multiple factors. This study sought to analyze factors that affect the health 
      of the young elderly to provide a reference for improving their level of health. 
      METHODS: We used cluster sampling to survey 1,000 young elderly residents aged 
      between 60 and 69 and living in Town P, District M, Shanghai. Health levels were 
      assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey 
      (SF-36), Social Support Rate Score (SSRS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), 
      and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) instruments. Demographic 
      characteristics were compared based on the SF-36 score and coupled with one-way 
      analysis and stepwise regression analysis, to determine factors affecting health. 
      RESULTS: The young elderly in this community have a high morbidity of chronic 
      disease and score low in the SF-36, SSRS, GSES, and HPLP II. One-way analysis 
      reveals that gender, education, marriage, current work, total social support 
      score, total general self-efficacy score, and total health promoting score are 
      factors affecting the scoring of the SF-36 and the results of stepwise regression 
      analysis. Marriage, current working condition, age, total score of social 
      support, total score of health promotion behavior, type of work, presence of 
      chronic disease, and the number of children are positively correlated with the 
      SF-36 score and can predict it. CONCLUSIONS: To improve the health of community 
      living elderly young it is necessary to adopt appropriate health promotion 
      measures which motivate their self-efficacy and health responsibility. Such 
      measures include increasing interactions between the young elderly and medical 
      resources and offering them public participation opportunities to ensure that 
      they receive adequate social support.
