Ageing is one of the major trends of the 21st century. This explains the continuously growing interest in studying the health of the elderly people. The purpose of this project is to investigate the associations between self-perceived health and objective indicators of health among the elderly people in Greece and other European Union countries. Firstly, an introductory analysis of the phenomenon of ageing is presented and then a reference is made to SHARE research. Then, the questions on self - perceived health and other self-reported health indicators and risky health behaviors which may be related to their health are discussed. The analysis was based on the application of logistic regression using the SPSS statistical program and the results showed that self-perceived health in older people is associated with a set of factors related to physical and mental health, demographics and other daily habits.
