OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to test whether religious involvement is associated with a broad range of health behaviors.
METHOD
We employ data from the 2004 Survey of Texas Adults, a statewide probability sample of 1504 Texas adults. Using these data, we estimate a series of logistic regression models to assess the net effects of religious attendance on 12 health behaviors.
RESULTS
Our results show that regular religious attendance (especially weekly attendance) is associated with a wide range of healthy behaviors, including preventive care use, vitamin use, infrequent bar attendance, seatbelt use, walking, strenuous exercise, sound sleep quality, never smoking, and moderate drinking.
CONCLUSION
If religious involvement is associated with healthy behaviors, additional studies are needed to account for these associations. Future research might also consider health behaviors other than drinking and smoking as potential mechanisms through which religious involvement might benefit health and prolong life.
目的
本研究旨在检验宗教参与是否与广泛的健康行为相关。
方法
我们使用了2004年德克萨斯州成年人调查的数据，这是一个对1504名德克萨斯州成年人进行的全州概率抽样。利用这些数据，我们估计了一系列逻辑回归模型，以评估宗教礼拜对12种健康行为的净影响。
结果
我们的结果表明，定期参加宗教活动（尤其是每周参加）与广泛的健康行为相关，包括使用预防性医疗服务、服用维生素、不常去酒吧、系安全带、步行、剧烈运动、良好的睡眠质量、从不吸烟和适度饮酒。
结论
如果宗教参与与健康行为相关，则需要进行更多研究来解释这些关联。未来的研究也可能会考虑除饮酒和吸烟之外的健康行为，将其作为宗教参与可能有益于健康和延长寿命的潜在机制。
