Youth’s lifestyle in short Physical activity developed positively among boys and girls (but that
does not prevent increasing eating disorders) Use of tobacco and heavy use of alcohol have increased till the shift
of the centuries, after that they have decreased The unobtrusive measure of illicit drugs experimentation hints that
after a clear rise till the shift of the centuries this experimentation is becoming rarer (there is other information confirming this also)
There has been a tendency toward more unhealthy eating including too much energy intake
Among girls intake of too little energy is also clearly observed

About lifestyle of working age population in short
Lifestyle trends relevant for major chronic diseases have been quite positive
Differences in health behaviour between educational groups arise concern though, e.g.,
albeit differences fat type used on bread have become smaller between educational groups
differences in smoking have increased An increasing number of Finns are not available as informants –
so the external validity of the results decrease. Refusing to answer characterizes men and young men in the
capital region especially; non-native Finns; and persons with unhealthy lifestyle
Non-citizens do not belong to the sampling frame

Reported consumption of at least 8 units (men) or at least 5 units (women) of alcohol
weekly, 65-84 yrs old (%)
Trend of food choices positive, and follows that of working age persons
Men’s daily smoking has decreased, women’s smoking has maintained the very low level
Consumption of alcohol has increased at relatively slow pace during the time period – nothing special in the development from 2003 to 2005 either
Number of teetotalers decreased and alcohol consumption of males increased somewhat from 2003 to 2005
The results boast good external validity because of the steady 80% response rate – and the fact that non-native Finns a few in the age bracket
In short about pensioners’ lifestyle
What lies ahead What lies ahead regarding regarding lifestyle?lifestyle?
Tobacco, alcohol, drugs involve challenges
Smoking is in general well-controlled and will probably be even more so in the near future. Low SES smoking is the biggest problem – and it really is a sizeable problem. Resources should be directed to tackle smoking initiation and cessation in low SES groups.
Increasing alcohol consumption is a rising public health problem in general and in high consumption populations in particular, especially in low SES & high consumption populations.
Illegal drugs experimentation is in low tide. There is a heavier than ever population of drug addicts though and since we live in a global world there is always a possibility of sudden worsening of the situation.
Nutrition and physical activity include challenges, too
Healthy food, right amount of intake of energy in relation to the consumption of energy should be aimed at.
Physical activity should be increased because it has health enhancing effects of its own right and because it helps in the maintenance of right weight.
Eating unhealthy food and maintaining sedentary lifestyle are again more often a problem in the low SES groups.
Do public health researchers need to be rocket scientists?
Challenges for public health research
Continuous research of the mechanisms of major diseases needs to be upheld
basic and applied social & behavioral sciences need to be imported into creation, evaluation and development of instruments to tackle the mechanisms - as they often involve changing lifestyle
Resources for implementation research – needed to evaluate the instruments and develop them into forms that are efficient in everyday use – should be provided in planning and funding of projects
Message of health promotion research/behavioral medicine needs to be taken seriously – different levels of mechanisms need to be examined and programs for them created, evaluated, developed and implemented …..

Health discrepancies need special attention
global, regional, national, regional and local perspectives should be employed in studies
the whole spectrum of population groups including immigrants should be examined in addition to SES and gender groups
health inequalities should be studied from the perspective of moral philosophy/ethics
research in health economics should be given a serious input because it should together with ethical research to aim at looking how much emphasis on different forms of prevention should be given
methodological research into what really passes as evidence based information in public health should be done – this involves especially the different forms of interventions in health promotion
