Patterns of health lifestyle behaviours: findings from a representative sample of Israel.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Researchers are increasingly acknowledging the importance of understanding patterns of engagement in multiple, as opposed to isolated, health behaviours. Accordingly, several studies, targeting various geographical regions, have begun to identify and characterize unique classes of individuals in terms of their engagement in health behaviours, towards gaining insights that might guide tailored health interventions. Our study extends this stream of research to the Israeli context, as well as examines whether certain sociodemographic characteristics tend to be associated with affiliation to a specific group of individuals, i.e., class membership.

Methods

Two large representative samples were obtained from the 2010 and 2017 National Social Surveys of the Israel Centra
