抄録

  The objective of this research is to abstract the evaluation standard of health behaviors, and analyze the characteristics specific to sex and age groups and reflect it to the health strategy for the citizens.

  Based on the results of the health and nutrition research conducted on Niigata residents in 2007(valid responses: 748 people, 20 to 79 years old), we recomposed the standard for 20 items and analyzed the factors indicating health behaviors using factor analysis.

  According to the age groups, elderly people have relatively good “sufficient level of sleep time and rhythm”. Also, “exercise consciousness and practicing light exercise” and “exercise consciousness and practicing medium to hard exercise”, which are related to physical activities, as they are older, both male and female have a higher tendency for high exercise consciousness and longer exercise time for light exercise. For medium to hard exercise, 20 to 39 years old male has a higher tendency for high exercise consciousness and longer exercise time. On the other hand, female in the same age group shows opposite result with a tendency for low exercise consciousness and shorter exercise time.

  For the disease prevention subjecting the adolescent to middle age groups, we consider that it is necessary to promote the support strategy to give instruction for sleeping and resting, and to improve the environment for women to increase their exercise time. Also, for health and exercise instruction, we consider that it is effective to give practical instruction based on the stages of behavior change.
