The authors examined the frequency of health-enhancing behaviors practiced by the elderly living in community settings, with emphasis on the impact of disease and disability on the frequency of those practices. Data were collected through personal interviews with a probability sample of 667 respondents in a 4-county region of northeastern New York. Almost all respondents said they engaged in at least one health-enhancing practice on a regular basis. The most commonly reported behaviors involved dietary practices. Results of the analysis support the importance of differentiating among health-enhancing behaviors that are undertaken as primary levels of prevention, in contrast to those undertaken as secondary or tertiary levels of prevention.
作者调查了居住在社区环境中的老年人所采取的增进健康行为的频率，重点关注疾病和残疾对这些行为频率的影响。通过对纽约州东北部一个四县地区667名受访者的概率样本进行个人访谈收集数据。几乎所有受访者表示，他们定期至少进行一种增进健康的行为。最常报告的行为涉及饮食习惯。分析结果支持了区分作为一级预防措施所采取的增进健康行为与作为二级或三级预防措施所采取的行为的重要性。
