To evaluate the impact of the diagnosis of hepatitis C infection on lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking, sports activity and diet.
A self-administered, anonymous questionnaire was offered to out-patients with HCV infection consecutively attending three clinical centres in Italy.
Of the 275 respondents, 62.2% (171) were male. Mean age was 51 (range 20-80) years. Overall, after the diagnosis of hepatitis C, 74.5% of drinkers had modified (giving up or reducing) alcohol consumption, 21.3% of smokers had modified their habits and 32.3% of subjects who reported sports activity had either stopped or reduced frequency of activity or chose a less fatiguing sport. Sixty-four percent of the respondents reported having modified their diet, most of them on physician's advice.
After the diagnosis of hepatitis C many patients correctly modified their alcohol consumption and a minority their smoking habits. The reason for reported changes in diet and physical activity needs further investigations.
评估丙型肝炎感染诊断对吸烟、饮酒、体育活动和饮食等生活习惯的影响。
向连续就诊于意大利三个临床中心的丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染门诊患者发放一份自行填写的匿名问卷。
275名受访者中，62.2%（171人）为男性。平均年龄为51岁（范围20 - 80岁）。总体而言，丙型肝炎诊断后，74.5%的饮酒者改变了（戒酒或减少饮酒量）饮酒习惯，21.3%的吸烟者改变了习惯，32.3%报告有体育活动的受试者停止或减少了活动频率，或选择了较不累的运动。64%的受访者报告改变了饮食，大多数是听从医生的建议。
丙型肝炎诊断后，许多患者正确改变了饮酒习惯，少数患者改变了吸烟习惯。饮食和体育活动变化的原因需要进一步调查。
