Outline of Final Research Achievements	Purpose：to clarify the influence factor (multi-level) of health behavior among the young and middle-aged population. The main results are summarized as follows:(1)Health behaviors were determined by influences at health policy levels among the young and middle-aged population.(2)Among regional environmental variables, fiscal capability index and municipal scale were not strongly related to health behavior after controlling for individual factors.(3)Health behaviors were determined by influences at health policy levels among the young and middle-aged population.(4)Health behaviors were determined by influences at inter-individual levels (cognitive social capital, cognitive social support) among the young and middle-aged population after controlling for intra-individual factors.In conclusion, it is considered that the diffusion of health policy and the strengthening connections with others for are important for promoting health promotion behavior young and middle-aged population.
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	20代～40代にあたる青・壮年期では健康行動の充足率が極めて低い傾向にあり、また集団に焦点をあてた研究は少ない。本研究の結果から、青・壮年期において健康づくり施策の普及や人との関わりの強化策は健康づくり行動推進に重要であることが示された。
