ABSTRACT
The analysis now returns to the patterns of behaviour illustrated in Figures 6.1–6.3. How are they related to health? The questions being asked here are not detailed epidemiological ones about, for instance, the disease associated with smoking or specific dietary habits. It is doubtful whether a survey such as this can add to this sort of knowledge. Rather evidence is being given about the association of ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ behaviour patterns, broadly defined, and health in general.
