Race, ethnicity, and cultural attitudes and practices are among the variables that influence health behaviors, including adaptive health behaviors. The following discussions highlight the important role of social conditions in shaping health behaviors and the central role of family in promoting health across the Asian, Hispanic, Native American, and African American ethnic groups. Factors that may lead to health-damaging behaviors are also discussed. The need for additional research that identifies correlations among physiological, social, and behavioral factors and health behaviors, as well as underlying mechanisms, is called for.
种族、族裔以及文化态度和习俗是影响健康行为(包括适应性健康行为)的变量。以下讨论突出了社会状况在塑造健康行为方面的重要作用,以及家庭在促进亚洲、西班牙裔、美洲原住民和非裔美国人等族裔群体健康方面的核心作用。还讨论了可能导致损害健康行为的因素。文中呼吁开展更多研究,以确定生理、社会和行为因素与健康行为之间的相关性以及潜在机制。
