| Abstract |
In a study of career army personnel in Israel, differences in demographic characteristics and health behaviour between participants and nonparticipants in a health-promotion programme were explored. Compared with the total career army population, participants tended to be older and more educated, to be foreign-born and of Eastern ethnic origin, and to have more children. The participant population also included more women and married individuals and had a low smoking prevalence and a high mean exercise rate. This programme preferentially enrolled people already committed to healthy lifestyles, and did not reach all segments of the work force equally. |
