Objective The correlation between illness behaviour and family function of the elderly people in community was studied. Methods The investigation was conducted on 162 elderly people in community by using the Illness Behavior Questionnaire （IBQ） and the APGER Questionnaire. Variance analysis and Pearson＇s correlation analysis were adopted to show the relationship between illness behavior and family function. Results The elderly with good, moderate, and bad family function accounted for 39.5 %, 43.2 %, 17.3 % respectively. There were significant differences on scores of General Hypochondriasis, Disease Conviction, Affective Inhibition, Affective Disturbance, and Irritability of the elderly patients among different family functions. Pearson＇s correlation analysis revealed that the scores of APGAR were negatively correlated to the scores of several factors of illness behavior. Conclusions There are certain abnormal illness behaviors existing in the elderly in community. The family function has a great effect on formation of illness behavior. Good family function is beneficial for the elderly to form normal illness behavior.
