本研究以「民國2002年臺灣地區國民健康促進知識、態度與行為調查」之資料檔為研究樣本進行次級資料分析。有效樣本為424位社區肥胖老人，以結構式問卷調查，橫斷式、描述相關性研究，以日常生活量表、自覺健康量表、台灣人憂鬱量表、自述慢性病數量等為研究工具。本研究採用spss12.0之統計套裝軟體，依研究目的進行描述性及推論性統計分析，以臨界值小於 .05為可接受顯著水準。
研究結果顯示(1) 平均年齡72.38歲，肥胖女性(56%)多於男性(44%)；肥胖老人罹患慢性病比例以高血壓(62.7%）為最高，其次為高血脂有155人（36.6%）。(2)社區肥胖老人日常生活功能的評量結果，顯示多數肥胖老人有基本日常生活功能的限制，其整體的基本日常生活功能至少一項日常生活功能有困難者佔68.6％，以沐浴困難度為最高，平均得分2.27分；社區肥胖老人憂鬱狀態整體得分介於0-45分，介於沒有或極少憂鬱狀態較多，顯示大部分社區肥胖老人情緒穩定。(3)日常生活功能並不因不同人口學特徵有所差異；自覺健康狀態受到人口學中教育程度、收入影響；罹患慢性病數量受人口學變項教育程度、年齡及收入影響；憂鬱狀態受到人口學性別、宗教、教育程度影響；肥胖老人自覺健康狀態與憂鬱狀態、慢性病罹患成負相關，憂鬱狀態則與慢性病數量呈正相關。
本研究提供社區健康照護人員參考，提供照顧者之照護服務，以擬定有效衛生政策措施，達到預防保健之目標，及促進社區肥胖老人良好自我管理。
