Are you looking for market research (i.e. "30% of seniors get their
health information from their physician, 24% from family and
friends...") or a list of places on the web to go for health
information?

Are you interested in US information or data from other coutries as
well? Will a list of places (such as counseling services, elderly
health hotlines, etc., with examples) be a good answer to your
question?

Here is one all-purpose link for starters:

www.eldernet.com.

I'm afraid this topic is a bit too broad without further clarification
of your needs.  I hope you'll get back to us so we may assist you
further.

One site that is concerned with seniors and has many health groups
with questions and answers is http://www.seniornet.org/php/ . You must
register to ask questions or answer questions. The one discussion
group on this site that is dedicated to health is
http://discussions.seniornet.org/cgi-bin/WebX?14@251.nWZRaXv7cCJ^24808@.ee6ee8d
.

http://nihseniorhealth.gov/index.html is designed for older people.
There is also some information on the usability research used to
design the site.
