Abstract		Aim: The study was conducted aiming at assessing the prevalence of several selected health behaviours and on identifying population groups at very high risk for them in the adult population. The present study focused on unhealthy nutrition related to obesity and diabetes (UNROD) and insufficient physical activity (IPA). Highquality basis for working out strategies, guidelines and plans for public health action in Slovenia was planned to be prepared. Subjects and methods: The data originate from the national survey carried out in 2001 on health behaviour of 15,379 adults aged 25-64 based on Countrywide Integrated Non-communicable Diseases Intervention (CINDI) Health Monitor (CHM) methodology. The overall response rate of the mailed questionnaire was 64%, with 9,043 questionnaires being eligible for analysis. Binary multiple logistic regression was used to determine the impact of gender, age, education, employment, self-assessed social class, type of residence community and geographical region on the occurrence of UNROD and IPA. Results: The highest odds for UNROD were registered in men [odds ratio (OR)men vs. women=1.35, p<0.001], aged 25-29 (OR25-29 vs. 60-64= 2.72, p<0.001), participants with primary education level (OR)primary vs. university education= 2.20, p<0.001), heavy workers ln rural economy (ORheavy work in rural economy vs. pensioner 1.85, p<0.001), participants self-classified in labour social class (ORlabour vs. upper 1.89, p=0.026); residents of rural communities (ORrural vs. urban residence community =1.26, p<0.001), and participants from the eastern region of Slovenia (OReasten vs. central=1.43, p<0.001).
