Summary/Abstract: Self-assessment of health is an important factor determining caring for health, expressed by health behaviours. Lifestyle and health behaviours play a key role in shaping health as well as the risk of many diseases and mortality. This article presents preliminary results of research on self-assessment of health and caring for health among men active on the labour market. A total of 130 men were surveyed with a questionnaire developed for this project. Men rated high their health and caring for health, and defined these concepts correctly. They had substantial knowledge on health and caring for health. However, this was theoretical knowledge only. It is necessary to examine their health behaviours.
