The relation between educational level of the old people and health promotion behaviors and their sub‐scales are shown in Table 3. Spearman correlation test shows by increasing the level of education, the health promotion behaviors (r = ./21, P = ./01) and the sub‐scales of physical activities (r = ./23, P = ./01), stress management (r = ./19, P = ./03) and social relations (r = ./26, P = ./004) would increase, but no significant relations were observed between literacy and the subscales of prevention and healthy nutrition (P > 0.05).
