Abstract

Purpose :The purpose of this paper is to clarify the factors that affect the general people's exercise habits, moderate drinking and good diet.<br>Method :The targets were 1,207 persons aged 35 to 59, who were registered with a research company. A questionnaire was sent to them by postal mail to be responded to by themselves. We regressed the presence or absence of preventive health behavior using personal and family attributes.<br>Result :Respondents with higher recognition of the risk of disease indicated a tendency of not overeating. Those with higher recognition of the importance of health indicated a tendency of moderate drinking, regular meals and not eating between meals. Those with higher recognition of the benefits of preventive health behavior indicated a tendency of having exercise habits, less salt intake and more intake of carotene-rich vegetables. Full-time workers tended not to have exercise habits or a habit of taking in less salt, not overeating, or taking in carotene-rich vegetables. A regular life pattern was found to be closely associated with exercise habits, less salt intake and regular meals. Those with a high level of health-related knowledge had a tendency of moderate drinking, less salt intake and regular meals. Those who mitigated stress through drinking did not tend to have a habit of moderate drinking. Those who enjoyed the support of their family in terms of their diet had a tendency of not overeating.<br>Conclusion :The results suggested that preventive health behavior could be promoted by taking measures that give considerations to the specific characteristics of each type of preventive health behavior.
