An unhealthy lifestyle could cause the emerge of degenerative disease cases, such as heart attack, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, various kinds of cancers and many more, that have the tendency to increase, it would even grow to a larger scale in the future. One’s healthy lifestyle behavior is influenced by their knowledge. Relating to that matter, a research has been conducted to find out how the affectivity level of communication done by the health elucidators is, when explaining to the society about degenerative diseases and the knowledge about healthy lifestyle, and also, to know the extend of how society live their healthy lifestyle. Therefore, a descriptive qualitative survey research is carried out, to find out the exact fact and figure concerning with that matter. In data collection, the process used here, are questionnaires and interview guide to gather the primary data needed, and the secondary data was also collected in the research area, in Sub-district Yogyakarta, Indonesia. From the research results, it could be concluded that people in the research area are very much aware about the information relating to degenerative diseases, and healthy lifestyle is also very much well known among them, but the awareness to implement a healthy lifestyle behavior is not seen yet. This is proven by the larger amount of people who are still smoking in public places, and many people are ill, caused by degenerative diseases. The source of this phenomenon is derived from the ineffective approaches of communication forms which are used, either in media or in the message arrangements.
