What fosters a 'healthy' lifestyle? How much responsibility does the individual have for his or her own health? Which is more significant: the social circumstances in which people live, or lifestyle habits such as excercise or smoking?

What fosters a 'healthy' lifestyle? How much responsibility does the individual have for his or her own health? Which is more significant: the social circumstances in which people live, or lifestyle habits such as excercise or smoking? Is health really 'worse' in the north than in the south, and how unequal are the social classes? For the first time it is possible to attempt to answer some of these questions, based on a national survey which was conducted by an interdisciplinary team at the University of Cambridge Clinical School. Health and Lifestyles examines the findings, and considers such issues as measured fitness, declared health, psychological status, life circumstances, health-related behaviour, attitudes, and beliefs. Interesting conclusions are presented. Social circumstances, for example, are more important than lifestyle habits. Moreover, lifestyle may have more effect among the more privileged, than the disadvantaged.
What is a `healthy' lifestyle? Which is more significant: the social circumstances in which people live, or lifestyle habits such as exercise or smoking? Health and Lifestyles is the first description of a large and representative survey of the British population asking just those questions. It examines the findings, and considers issues such as measured fitness, declared health, psychological status, life circumstances, health-related behaviour, attitudes and beliefs. Providing firm evidence of the importance of social circumstances and patterns of health-related behaviour, Health and Lifestyles is an important contribution to current debate, revealing the levels of inequality in health in Britain today.
