BACKGROUND: Limited information is available on the health behavior profile of @entity1 with premature @entity1187 ( @entity1187 ). The purpose of this study is to desribe the health bahvior of young @entity1 with @entity1187 at the baseline and 1 year post- @entity1187 and examine sex differences. METHODS: GENESIS-PRAXY is a prospective cohort study of adults (18-55 years old) hospitalized with @entity1187 from 26 centers located in Canada, United States, and Switzerland. Data on diet, physical activity, smoking, @entity285 consumption, and recreational drug use were collected through self-administered questionnaires at baseline and 1 year post- @entity1187 . RESULTS: Our analysis included 740 @entity1 with complete data. At baseline, the health behavior profile of young @entity1 with @entity1187 was worse than that of the general population. @entity1 had a lower fruit and vegetable intake, consumed @entity285 more, and used recreational drugs more than @entity1 . Conversely, fewer @entity1 than @entity1 were smokers (34% vs 42%). At 1 year post- @entity1187 , the proportion of those consuming >= 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables increased modestly (+5% vs +1%, for @entity1 vs @entity1 ) but remained lower than the general population. Among @entity1 , the prevalence of smoking remained about twice as high as the general population. Recreational drug use also remained higher than in the general population. CONCLUSIONS: Despite small improvements at 1 year post- @entity1187 , the health behavior profile of young @entity1 remained worse than that of the general population. Greater efforts to improve health behaviors post- @entity1187 among young @entity1 are needed, and a sex-based approach may be required to ensure successful behavioral changes.
