Results About 56.6% students lacked the knowledge of elderly health. 66.4% medical colleges didn′t give lectures on the elderly health, and only 17.6% medical students showed that they would be willing to work in the filed of elderly health. The analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences in gender, grade and specialty about the understanding of the elderly diseases (P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences between the sexes in the cognitive status of elderly mental and elderly nursing (P < 0.05).
