The relationship between health practices and physical health status was examined in a sample of 542 adults. A sub-sample of these individuals were also studied prospectively. Strong relationships were found in the cross-sectional data. "Good" health practices were correlated with higher health status. The analysis of the prospective data collected 18 months after the first interview also revealed a strong relationship between previous health practices and subsequent physical health status. The relationship still obtains when previous health status is controlled.
在542名成年人的样本中研究了健康行为与身体健康状况之间的关系。还对这些个体的一个子样本进行了前瞻性研究。在横断面数据中发现了很强的相关性。“良好”的健康行为与更高的健康状况相关。对首次访谈18个月后收集的前瞻性数据的分析也显示，先前的健康行为与随后的身体健康状况之间存在很强的关系。在控制了先前的健康状况后，这种关系仍然成立。
