To determine the extent of correspondence between husbands and wives in their personal habits, a sample of 281 spouse pairs was interviewed regarding their smoking, drinking and dietary habits. Both aggregate and within-pair agreements were examined. There was good correspondence between husbands and wives for most food items, the exceptions being foods that are more likely to be eaten away from home. While agreement on wine consumption was also good, there was little correspondence between husbands and wives in their patterns of beer consumption and cigarette smoking. The diets of husbands and wives are generally similar and the circumspect use of spouses as surrogates for dietary information in epidemiological studies can be appropriate.
