Objectives: Alcohol Drinking causes senior people to be affected by a variety of senile chronic diseases, and may lead to mental health problems such as reduced cognitive functions and dementia as well as financial, time-consuming and mental burden of family. Lately, there have been a lot of studies investigating potential factors that affect senior health behaviors like drinking, but most of them have been limited to certain sectional points. So there is not yet any follow-up study focusing on possible variations of senior health behaviors across different points of time. Methods: Thus, this study used follow-up survey on the same older adults to find out possible variations of senior health behaviors concerning drinking, and analyze potential factors affecting their abstinence from drinking. To this end, the study used the same questionnaire form to survey senior people (65 years of age or older) residing in a district of Incheon Metropolitan City in two phases (in 2003 and 2008, respectively). Results: The study results can be outlined as follows: First, according to the follow - up monitoring to see if senior drinkers found in 2003 quit drinking successfully in 2008, female respondents were 2.508 times more likely to quit drinking than male respondents, and Buddhist respondents were 0.317 times more likely to quit drinking than Christian respondents. Secondly, according to the follow-up monitoring to see if senior people who quit drinking in 2003 still kept abstaining from drinking in 2008, female respondents were 6.643 times more likely to keep abstaining from drinking than male respondents Catholic, Buddhist and nonreligious respondents were 0.115, 0.215 and 0.15 times more likely to keep abstaining from drinking than Christian respondents; and diabetic respondents were 2.02 times more likely to keep abstaining from drinking than non-diabetic respondents. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is required to develop senior health behavior improvement programs based on potential factors affecting senior people's abstinence from drinking, It is also important to conduct and further develop follow-up monitoring studies in the future.
