Abstract： [Purpose/significance] Research reveals that there are differences in the choice of health information sources for the elders due to different situations, which provides theoretical basis and countermeasures for the library and information agencies to better develop health information services for the elders. [Method/process] Research refers to the classification of information sources by information source horizon theory. Interview method was used to analyze the differences of choicing the health information sources in three situations, including dealing with the health-threatening situation, participation and involvement in medical decision making, changing or preventing the poor health behaviors, and the demographic characteristics were used to explore the group difference between the elders in the number of information sources. [Result/conclusion] Research results shows:firstly, in the three scenarios, organizational information sources and interpersonal information sources are the main information sources used by the elderly. Secondly, with the growth of age, the dependence of the elderly on interpersonal information sources gradually increases. Thirdly, under the three scenarios, the elderly are not high in the use of network information sources and printed information sources. Finally, there are obvious differences in the number of information source choices among the elders with different educational levels and self-assessment of economic status. Among them, the differences caused by educational levels are reflected in all three scenarios. The differences caused by self-assessment of economic status are reflected in situation of participation and involvement in medical decision making and health-threatening situation.
