To examine if one partner's premarital health behavior was longitudinally associated with his or her partner's health behaviors.
Newlyweds were assessed at marriage and at 3 follow-ups with respect to frequency of general health behaviors: exercise, physical examinations, and healthy and unhealthy eating.
One partner's health behavior prior to marriage was associated with the other partner's health behavior over time. This was true for positive and negative behaviors for both men and women.
Understanding how partners influence each other's health behaviors is important for health promotion and intervention efforts. Targeting the couple for health promotion activities could benefit the couple more than simply targeting individuals.
研究一方婚前的健康行为是否与另一方的健康行为存在纵向关联。
对新婚夫妇在结婚时及之后进行3次随访,评估其一般健康行为的频率,包括锻炼、体检以及健康和不健康饮食。
随着时间推移,一方婚前的健康行为与另一方的健康行为相关。无论男女,积极和消极行为均如此。
了解伴侣如何相互影响健康行为对于健康促进和干预工作很重要。针对夫妻开展健康促进活动可能比单纯针对个人更能使夫妻受益。
