To assess the association of health behaviors among husbands and wives.
Cohort study of 553 Mexican American couples aged 65 years or older from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (H-EPESE). Multivariate regression analyses test the association of body mass index, smoking, and alcohol consumption among husbands and wives.
Body mass index is positively associated among couples. Risk of smoking or drinking was higher if the partner had ever smoked or drank alcohol.
Health behaviors are associated among older Mexican American couples. Intervention efforts should be directed at both spouses.
评估夫妻间健康行为的关联性。
对来自西班牙裔老年人流行病学研究既定人群（H-EPESE）的553对65岁及以上的墨西哥裔美国夫妇进行队列研究。多变量回归分析检验夫妻间体重指数、吸烟和饮酒之间的关联性。
夫妻间体重指数呈正相关。如果伴侣曾经吸烟或饮酒，那么另一方吸烟或饮酒的风险更高。
健康行为在老年墨西哥裔美国夫妇中具有关联性。干预措施应针对夫妻双方。
