To examine the effect of change in marital status on health behaviours among men.
Longitudinal study of repeated measures of marital status and health behaviours collected at four year intervals (1986-90; 1990-94).
US male health professionals.
38 865 men aged 40-75 in 1986.
Relative to men who stayed married over four years, men who became widowed increased their alcohol consumption. Men who become divorced or widowed experienced decreases in body mass index. Compared with men who remained unmarried, men who remarried exhibited increases in body mass index along with decreased physical activity. Becoming divorced or widowed was associated with decreased vegetable intake while remarriage was linked to greater consumption.
Marital termination may adversely affect health and dietary behaviours among men.
探讨婚姻状况变化对男性健康行为的影响。
对每隔四年(1986 - 1990年;1990 - 1994年)收集的婚姻状况和健康行为进行重复测量的纵向研究。
美国男性健康专业人员。
1986年年龄在40 - 75岁的38865名男性。
与四年内保持婚姻关系的男性相比,丧偶男性的酒精摄入量增加。离婚或丧偶男性的体重指数下降。与未婚男性相比,再婚男性的体重指数增加,身体活动减少。离婚或丧偶与蔬菜摄入量减少有关,而再婚则与更多的摄入量有关。
婚姻关系的终止可能会对男性的健康和饮食行为产生不利影响。
