Smoking, drinking, over-eating and sedentary living may be regarded as ways of compensating for losses inflicted by physical handicaps. Therefore, promoting healthy life-styles among physically handicapped persons may amount to reducing their life satisfaction. This article examines the life-style and life satisfaction of all self-reported somatically handicapped respondents 25-50 years of age in a mid-Norwegian county. Persons with physical handicaps had more unhealthy habits than the general population. But life-style was not related to degree of physical handicap. And quality of life among the physically handicapped was not associated with life-style. Efforts to promote healthy living may not threaten the quality of life of physically handicapped persons.
吸烟、饮酒、暴饮暴食和久坐不动的生活方式可能被视为对身体残疾所造成损失的一种补偿方式。因此，在身体残疾者中推广健康的生活方式可能会降低他们的生活满意度。本文研究了挪威中部一个郡所有自我报告有身体残疾的25至50岁受访者的生活方式和生活满意度。身体残疾者比普通人群有更多不健康的习惯。但是生活方式与身体残疾程度无关。而且身体残疾者的生活质量与生活方式也没有关联。推广健康生活的努力可能不会威胁到身体残疾者的生活质量。
