Purpose: As the higher numerical presence of elderly people leading to change in age structure, it is important to reappraise the quality and satisfaction of life of elderly people. The main objective of this paper is to study how levels of elder people’s subjective quality of life and life satisfaction are perceived within a wellbeing behavior and what kinds of eating habits. Method: A quantitative study was conducted of 65 year-old elderly people who have participated in one of the following programs: gym, summing and gate ball from 2 sport centers and gate ball clubs in D City in 2014. Results are expressed in terms of Mean and SE of mean. T-test, correlation analysis, multiple regression, one-way NAOVA and MANOVA test have been used to compare the mean scores of the subjective quality of life and life satisfaction score based on different variables under the domain of eating habit and well-being behavior. A total 291 old age people were included in this study and data were tested by using SPSS 20.0. Result: The subjective quality of life of elderly was partially influenced by consuming amount of well-being, for example, respondents’ consuming amount of well-being ‘100,000\’ on levels of the subjective quality of life of elderly were lower than ‘200,000\~300,000\’. Conclusion: First, There was no difference between the relations between the subjective quality of life of elderly and gender, consuming amount of well-being and well-being food styles. Second, Individual and family variables had a significantly positive correlation with health of individual and family, commercial tool and other-awareness, while life satisfaction had a significantly positive correlation with health consideration, cloth, house, environment, exercise leisure, food and well-being style. The subjective quality of life had a significantly negative correlation with food, other-awareness, while the well-being behavior variables had a significantly positive correlation with well-being eating habit, the subjective quality of life and life satisfaction. Third, The subjective quality of life was partially influenced by well-being eating habits. For example, maintaining individual and family health variable had a significantly positive correlation with the subjective quality of life, while other-awareness had a significantly negative correlation with the subjective quality of life of elderly.
