Changes in health behaviours (smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and fruit and vegetable consumption) after diagnosis of chronic health conditions (heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory disease, and diabetes) were examined among Canadians aged 50 or older. Results from 12 years of longitudinal data from the Canadian National Population Health Survey indicated relatively modest changes in behaviour. Although significant decreases in smoking were observed among all groups except those with respiratory disease, at least 75% of smokers did not quit. No significant changes emerged in the percentage meeting physical activity recommendations, except those with diabetes, or in excessive alcohol consumption, except those with diabetes and respiratory disease. The percentage reporting the recommended minimum fruit and vegetable intake did not increase significantly among any group.
研究了 50 岁及以上加拿大人在被诊断出患有慢性疾病（心脏病、癌症、中风、呼吸道疾病和糖尿病）后健康行为（吸烟、体育活动、饮酒以及水果和蔬菜摄入）的变化。加拿大国家人口健康调查 12 年的纵向数据结果表明，行为变化相对较小。除了呼吸道疾病患者外，所有群体的吸烟率都显著下降，但仍有至少 75%的吸烟者没有戒烟。只有糖尿病患者的体育活动达标率和过量饮酒率（除糖尿病和呼吸道疾病患者外）有显著变化，而其他群体的这两项指标均无显著变化。任何群体的推荐水果和蔬菜最低摄入量的报告比例都没有显著增加。
