Health lifestyle behaviors among U.S. adults

Existing research to study individual health behaviors and simply reflect the concept of behavior as a narrow intention to health may obscure the social organization of health behavior. Instead, we have studied how the eight health behaviors can be combined to form a niche of different health behaviors. We use nationwide representative data of the National Adult 2009 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), used from 2004 - 18, we will discuss the smoking situation, alcohol consumption, physical activity, doctor's visit and influenza We used latent class analysis to determine based on vaccination. We identified seven different health behavior categories, including consistent health promotion (44%), consistent health compromise (26%), and discrepancy category (30%). We discovered that there are differences between race / ethnicity, sex, region, and age among class members. We show that the health behavior category is related to the expected mortality rate, which shows that they are an effective expression of a healthy lifestyle. We discussed the sociological theory of healthy behavior and the impact of our results on various behavioral interventions trying to improve the health of the population.

Concept and methodology to define healthy behavior highlights integrated dynamic measurements. The important theoretical development in the past decade was the concept of "healthy lifestyle". Policies for healthy behavior tend to focus on a single action and often feel that these behaviors are resistant to change. A healthy lifestyle idea instead treats behavior as a deep rooted identity that occurs in the collection and interacts with each other and members of the social group. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle develops at the individual level, but it is determined by the meso and macro level. Understanding the interactions between healthy behaviors is considered as the basis for successful changes to these behaviors. Although most limited empirical research focuses on adults, research and policy are now also aimed at the early life process. For example, Mollborn et al.
