It is very important to understand the health of middle-aged women. The purposes of this study were: 1. To analyze the differences of the self-care behavior, health recognition, sex role attitude, life stress, lifestyle with demographic data and perceived health status of middle-aged women; 2. To explore the relationships among the demographic data, perceived health status, health recognition, sex role attitude, life stress, lifestyle and self-care behavior of middle-aged women; 3. To explore the predictors of self-care behavior of middle-aged women. The research design was based on a sampling survey. 305 subjects aged 40-54 years were chosen from bone densitometry outpatients of a teaching hospital to complete self-administered questionnaires, and ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation and stepwise regression were used to analyze data. The results revealed: 1. The self-care behavior and life styles of middle-aged women were affected by their social-economic status and health status. The life stresses of middle-aged women came from their marriage, children, job and health. 2. There were significant relationships among lifestyle, life stress, perceived health status, education and self- care behavior of middle-aged women. 3. The predictors of self-care behavior of middle-aged women were lifestyle, life stress, perceived health status, and education; they explained 30.9% of the total variances. It is imperative to provide concepts and knowledge of health promotion and give impetus to self-care behavior for middle-aged women individually and holistically.
