Health-threatening behavior

Behaviors harmful to health refer to a group of behaviors that are not conducive to the health of oneself and others. The main features are: ① harmfulness. Behavior has direct or indirect, obvious or potential harmful effects on oneself, others and social health. For example, smoking not only harms one's own health, but also has a negative impact on the health of others and society. ② obvious and stable. Behavior does not happen by accident, but has a certain intensity and duration. ③ Acquired. Behaviors harmful to health are acquired by individuals through acquired life experience, so they are also called self-control risk factors.

Behaviors that endanger health can be divided into four categories:

(1) unhealthy lifestyle

Bad lifestyle is a group of habitual behaviors harmful to health, such as smoking, excessive drinking, bad eating habits (overeating, high-fat, high-sugar and low-fiber diet, partial eclipse, picky eaters, love to eat delicious snacks, love to heat or smoke food at high temperature for a long time, eat too fast, too hot, too hard, too sour, etc. ) and lack of physical exercise. Bad lifestyle is closely related to obesity, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, premature aging and cancer. The influence of unhealthy lifestyle on health has the characteristics of long incubation period, poor specificity, strong synergy, great individual difference and universality.

(2) Pathogenic behavior pattern

There are many researches on behavior patterns that lead to specific diseases at home and abroad, such as type A behavior patterns and type C behavior patterns.

Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is a behavior pattern closely related to the occurrence of coronary heart disease. Type A behavior, also known as "coronary heart disease is easy to occur", is characterized by quick action, trying to finish as much work as possible in the shortest time (with a sense of time urgency), loud voice, strong explosive force, like competition, and potential hostility and wariness to people. Its core behavior is impatience and hostility. The incidence, recurrence and mortality of coronary heart disease of A-type actors are 2 ~ 4 times higher than those of non-A-type actors.
