Research indicates that executive functioning may predict health behavior. This systematic review provides an overview of the relationship between domains of executive functioning and health behaviors associated with the leading causes of death in the United States. A total of 114 articles met the inclusion criteria (adult sample, published in English between 1990 and November 2016) and were reviewed and synthesized. Results indicated that although many studies had mixed findings, at least one executive function component was associated with every health behavior. Based on these results, health professionals should consider the role of executive functions in behavior change interventions.
研究表明，执行功能可能可以预测健康行为。本系统综述提供了一个概述，说明了执行功能的各个领域与美国主要死因相关的健康行为之间的关系。共有 114 篇文章符合纳入标准（成人样本，发表于 1990 年至 2016 年 11 月间，英文），并对其进行了回顾和综合。结果表明，尽管许多研究的结果存在差异，但至少有一个执行功能成分与每种健康行为都有关联。基于这些结果，健康专业人员应该考虑在行为改变干预中执行功能的作用。
