Abstract

Une étude a été consacrée aux modèles de comportement influant sur la santé parmi les jeunes de deux pays, la Finlande (F) et la Suisse (CH). Les données utilisées ont été tirées de deux enquêtes réalisées auprès de jeunes de 16 à 18 ans (F: en 1993, n=280; CH: 1992/93, n=272). Trois comportements de consommation-manger, boire, fumer-ont été étudies à l'aide d'analyses par grappes et d'analyses de régression logistique. Trois modèles supraculturels sur le plan du comportement ont été définis: un modèle sain, un modèle nuisible à la santé et un modèle mixte (mauvaise alimentation, non-consommation de tabac et consommation modérée d'alcool). D'autres analyses ont montré qu'il y avait un lien entre l'appartenance à un modèle et les caractéristiques socio-démographiques des jeunes interrogés. Dans les deux pays, les facteurs déterminants les modèles étaient presque identiques, ce qui témoigne d'une grande stabilité supraculturelle. L'étude suggère que parmi les jeunes de cet âge, on trouve des comportements supraculturels cohérents distincts qui ont une influence sur la santé. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag 2000
