The analysis of life control and its development is an issue of central concern to modern health research. This article discusses longitudinal questionnaire data in an attempt to identify factors that predict young men's life control in early childhood and adolescence. No factors in the childhood family background predicted strong life control in adulthood. A positive development in the family's social situation showed a positive association with life control in adulthood. Poor school performance and unhealthy habits in adolescence were associated with poor life control in adulthood. According to a regression analysis, the following factors predicted a strong life control in adulthood: regular physical exercise, positive changes in the family's social situation, no school class repeats, no experimentation with intoxicants in adolescence, admission into intermediate level of education, and no smoking in adolescence. It is crucially important for purposes of health promotion to identify factors which predict life control in adulthood. By helping adolescents to achieve life control, we are also helping them to cope with developmental tasks and therefore to promote their health.
生活掌控及其发展的分析是现代健康研究的核心关注点。本文探讨纵向问卷调查数据，试图确定预测幼儿期和青春期年轻男性生活掌控的因素。童年家庭背景中的因素均无法预测成年后的强大生活掌控能力。家庭社会状况的积极发展与成年后的生活掌控呈正相关。青少年时期学业成绩差和不健康的习惯与成年后的生活掌控能力差有关。根据回归分析，以下因素可预测成年后的强大生活掌控能力：定期体育锻炼、家庭社会状况的积极变化、没有留级、青少年时期没有尝试使用毒品、进入中等教育水平以及青少年时期不吸烟。识别预测成年后生活掌控的因素对于促进健康至关重要。通过帮助青少年实现生活掌控，我们也在帮助他们应对发展任务，从而促进他们的健康。
