OBJECTIVES: The aim of this research was to measure the connection between the Christian Faith and welfare, tackle, and health behaviour among elders. METHODS: The research was quantitative and cross-sectional. We used non-random, convenience sampling among the religious elders living in Kozarmisleny and the habitants of Dorothea Institute and the Malomvolgy Social Institute of Pecs (N=114). According to the including criterias, the participants had to be older then 60 years with undamaged state of mind. We applied own- structured questions besides the welfare questionnaire of the WHO and the BSCI-Cohenerce subscale. To statistical analysis we used  SPSS 22., with descriptive statistics, Chi-probe, T-probe and correlations, (p<0.05).  RESULTS: Those who does not have any kids and grandchildren reached less points on the WHO’s welfare scale (p=0.012) than those who has. According to the martial status the welfare of those who are devorced are on the lowest level (p=0.014) and those who live in relationship the highest (p=0.002). The believers tackle mechanism is higher, because there is moderate positive connection between the rate of religiousness and tackle (r=0.303, p=0.001). The religious people significantly have less harmful addiction  (p=0.021), pay attention to healthier diet more (p=0.014) and go to screening tests more frequently (p<0.001). Furthermore, those who go to masses do more physical activites (p=0.006), take part in screening tests more frequently (p<0.001), pay attention to healthier diet (p<0.001), and have less harmful addictions. CONCLUSIONS: Several studies prove that the religious faith gives power against the usual problems, the tackle og deseases, and has benefit on the health. Our results confirm that it is really important to support the religious practice among the elders.
