Abstract		Aim. To identify population groups with multiple hazardous health behaviors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in order to enable more focused planning of CVD prevention actions in Slovenia. Methods. The data originate from the national survey on the health behavior of 15,379 adults aged 25-64, which was carried out in 2001. The overall response rate of the mailed questionnaire was 64%, with 9,043 questionnaires being eligible for anaylisis. Estimates of prevalence of observed outcome-multiple hazardous health behaviors for CVD (at least two out of four observed: unhealthy nutrition, smoking, physical inactivity, and heavy alcohol drinking) were assessed for each population subgroup regarding sex, age, education level, employment status, social class (self-clasification), type ofresidence community and geographical region, whereas the strength of association between the occurrence of observed out come and each of selected risk factors was roughly (univariately) estimated using chi-square test. Binary multiple logistic regression was used to determine the adjusted impact of the above-mentioned characteristics on the prevalence of observed outcome. Results. The highest odds for two or more hazardous health behaviors for CVD were registered in men (ORmen vs women=1.89, p<0.0005), aged 30-39 years (OR30-39 vs 60-64=1.71, p<0.0005), participants with the lowest education level (ORuncompleted primary vs university education=2.76, p<0.0005), unemployed participants (ORunemployed vs pensioner/disability pensioner=1.51, p=0.003), participants self-classified in the lowest social class (ORlower vs middle upper/upper class=1.72, p=0.012); residents of urban communities (ORurban vs rural residence community=1.43, p<0.005) and participants from the Eastern geographical region of Slovenia (OREastern vs Western=1.24, p=0.003).

Summary		Namen. Opredeliti skupine prebivalstva, pri katerih ugotavljamo prisotnost več vedenjskih dejavnikov tveganja za srčnožilne bolezni (SŽB), s čemer bi bilo omogočeno bolj ciljano načrtovanje dejavnosti za preprečevanje SŽB v Sloveniji. Metode. Podatke smo pridobili iz nacionalne raziskave "Z zdravjem povezan vedenjski slog", v katero je bilo vključenih 15,379 odraslih, starih 25-64 let. Za analizo je bilo primernih 9,043 vprašalnikov. Ocene prevalence opazovanih izidov-več sočasno prisotnih za SŽB tveganih vedenj (prisotna vsaj dva izmed štirih opazovanih: nezdrava prehrana, kajenje, telesna neaktivnost, in tvegano pitje alkoholnih pijač) smo opredeljevali za vsako podskupino prebivalstva glede na spol, starost, stopnjo izobrazbe, zaposlitveni status, socialni sloj (samoopredelitev), vrsto bivalne skupnosti in geografsko regijo. Povezanost med pojavljanjem opazovanega izida in vsakega od izbranih dejavnikov tveganja smo ocenili grobo z uporabo testa hi-kvadrat. Za določitev vpliva zgoraj omenjenih značilnosti na prevalenco opazovanih izidov smo uporabili metodo binarne multiple logistične regresije. Rezultati. Največji obeti za prisotnost dveh ali več vedenjskih dejavnikov tveganja za SŽB smo ugotovili pri moških (ROmoški vs ženske=1.89, p<0.0005), starih 30-39 let (RO30-39 vs 60-64=1,71, p<0.0005), opazovanci z najnižjo stopnjo izobrazbe (ROnedokončana osnovna vs univerzitetna izobrazba =2.76, p<0.0005), nezaposleni (ROnezaposleni vs upokojeni/invalidno upokojeni=1.51, p=0.003), opazovanci, ki so se sami opredelili v najnižji socialni sloj (RO nižji vs srednji zgornji/zgornji sloj =1.72, p=0.012); prebivalci urbanih območij (ROurbano VS ruralno območje bivanja=1.43, p<0.0005) in opazovanci iz vzhodne geografske regije Slovenije (ROvzhodna vs zahodna regija=1.24, p=0.003). Zaključek. (Izvleček prekinjen pri 2000 znakih)
