Objective.本研究调查了一系列危害健康和违法行为的聚集。我们研究这些行为是否属于一个单一的，但广泛的集群。“冒险行为”，以及青少年聚集的性质和程度是否与成年人不同。荷兰12至40岁人群的代表性样本（N =4395）（总回答率67%），被问及各种危害健康的行为，如饮酒，吸烟，非法药物使用，不安全的性行为，缺乏身体活动，营养不良（如不吃早餐，不吃水果和蔬菜），睡眠不良行为，非法交通行为，犯罪和攻击性行为。数据收集自2005年秋季至2006年春季，使用互联网问卷和面对面的计算机辅助访谈。没有发现单一的大集群，而是有几个独立但相互关联的集群。这些聚类的内容因年龄组而异。对于青少年（12-15岁），确定了两个集群：酒精和犯罪。对于年龄较大的青少年（16-18岁）和成年人（19-40岁），确定了三个集群：酒精，犯罪和健康。这项研究的结果支持一个更综合的方法来促进健康的生活方式，并建议综合预防计划的行为目标应该是不同的青少年和成年人。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Objective. This study investigates the clustering of a broad range of health-compromising and delinquent behaviors. We examine whether these behaviors belong to a single but broad cluster. 'risk-taking behavior', and whether the nature and degree of clustering in adolescents differs from that in adults.Method. A representative sample (N =4395) of the Dutch population aged 12 to 40 (overall response rate 67%), was asked about various health-compromising behaviors, such as alcohol consumption, smoking, illegal drug use, unsafe sexual behavior, physical inactivity, poor nutrition (such as skipping breakfast and not eating fruit and vegetables), poor sleep behavior, unlawful traffic behavior, and delinquent and aggressive behavior. Data were collected from fall 2005 to spring 2006 using internet questionnaires and face-to-face computer-assisted interviews.Results. No single broad cluster was found. Instead, there were several separate but interrelated clusters. The contents of these clusters differed between age groups. For young adolescents (12-15) two clusters were identified: Alcohol and Delinquency. For older adolescents (16-18) and adults (19-40) three clusters were identified: Alcohol, Delinquency and Health.Conclusion. The findings of this study support a more integrated approach to promoting healthier lifestyles, and suggest that the behavior targets of integrated prevention programs should be different for adolescents and adults.
