This study aimed to examine changes in the practice of health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, and alcohol consumption) via comparing two Israeli cohorts of persons aged 75 to 94 over a 10-year period. Data collection was conducted during 1989-1992 for the first cohort (N=1,200) and during 2000-2002 for the second (N=421). Decreases in smoking indices (rates of current smokers, total nicotine consumption, years of smoking), increase in physical activity levels, and decreases in alcohol consumption of liquor and whiskey were found in the more recent cohort compared to the earlier one. Sex differences were found with regards to alcohol consumption and smoking. The findings indicate consistent improvements in health behaviors of smoking, physical activity, and alcohol consumption of beverages other than beer or wine in old-old Israeli persons.
本研究旨在通过比较两个 75 至 94 岁的以色列队列，在 10 年内检查健康行为（吸烟、身体活动和饮酒）的变化。第一组队列（N=1200）的数据收集于 1989-1992 年，第二组（N=421）的数据收集于 2000-2002 年。与较早的队列相比，最近的队列中吸烟指数（当前吸烟者的比例、总尼古丁摄入量、吸烟年限）下降，身体活动水平上升，以及白酒和威士忌的饮酒量下降。在饮酒和吸烟方面发现了性别差异。这些发现表明，在以色列高龄人群中，吸烟、身体活动和除啤酒或葡萄酒以外的饮料的饮酒行为持续改善。
