本文继续先前报道的成人人群的身体健康状况及其与各种自变量的关系的分析。这项研究的数据是通过1965年在加利福尼亚州阿拉米达县以概率为基础的成年居民填写的问卷收集的。身体健康的测量范围从严重残疾到没有慢性病或症状的高能量水平。将每个人放在光谱上的“ridit”可以为群体之间的比较计算出平均值，并可以根据年龄和性别的差异进行调整。本文考察了常见健康做法之间的关系，包括睡眠时间、饮食规律、体育活动、吸烟和饮酒以及身体健康状况。良好做法被证明与积极的健康有关，这些活动之间的关系是累积的；那些遵循所有良好做法的人健康状况更好，尽管年龄较大，但没有这样做的人。这种联系被发现与年龄、性别和经济地位无关。
This paper continues the analysis previously reported of physical health status in an adult population and its relationship to various independent variables. Data for the study were gathered by questionnaires completed by a probability-based sample of adult residents of Alameda County, California, in 1965.Physical health is measured along a spectrum ranging from severe disability to high energy level with absence of chronic conditions or symptoms. The “ridit” which places each individual along the spectrum can be averaged for comparison of groups, and can be adjusted for differences due to age and sex.This paper examines the relation between common health practices, including hours of sleep, regularity of meals, physical activity, smoking and drinking, and physical health status. Good practices are shown to be associated with positive health, and the relationship of these activities was cumulative; those who followed all of the good practices being in better health, even though older, than those who failed to do so. This association was found to be independent of age, sex, and economic status.
