This article draws upon data from a unique, 11-country study of young people's health behaviour, facilitated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. Analyses of the data available on individual health behaviours cluster into two groups: (i) health enhancing behaviours; and (ii) health-compromising behaviours. The results were analysed to identify the strength and consistency of these lifestyles across countries. A relatively modest proportion of the variance of the original variables was explained by these two lifestyle factors, but a consistent pattern emerged between countries. This consistency indicates that the health-related lifestyles of young people may not vary greatly between the countries in the study, a finding which might be used as an encouragement for greater international cooperation in the development and use of health education materials for young people, which may be easily transferable between countries. The data also support a more integrated approach to health education based on the promotion of healthy lifestyles, rather than a focus on individual health behaviours.
本文借鉴了由世界卫生组织欧洲区域办事处推动的一项独特的、涉及11个国家的年轻人健康行为研究的数据。对有关个人健康行为的现有数据进行的分析分为两组：（i）增进健康的行为；以及（ii）损害健康的行为。对结果进行了分析，以确定这些生活方式在各国的强度和一致性。这两个生活方式因素解释了原始变量相对较小比例的方差，但各国之间出现了一致的模式。这种一致性表明，在该研究中的各国年轻人与健康相关的生活方式可能差异不大，这一发现可作为鼓励在为年轻人开发和使用健康教育材料方面加强国际合作的依据，这些材料可能很容易在各国之间转移。这些数据还支持基于促进健康生活方式的更综合的健康教育方法，而不是关注个人健康行为。
