This study was conducted to determine the health status of the elderly fishermen in Sta. Elena, Buhi, Camarines Sur. More specifically, it sought inputs on the profile, health status of the respondents, risk factors affecting their health status, significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and their health status, and lastly, formulated a plan to address the factors affecting the health status of the respondents. 34 elderly fishermen of Sta. Elena, Buhi, Camarines Sur participated in this study. This study focuses on the participants aged 45 years of age and above. The descriptive method was utilized in this study.
