    Instability of Health Behaviours Health behaviours is are very unstable. Here are some explanations to this instability: • Different health habits are controlled by different factors. • I smoke because of stress, I don’t exercise because I don’t have a gym. • Health behaviour changes over the history of behaviour. • My coolest peers smokes when I’m a teenager. The opposite is true when I am forty. • Different factors may control the same health behaviour for different people. • Some people over eat when they are stressed, others in times of joy. • Factors controlling a health behaviour may change across a person’s lifetime. • A professional athlete like Ronaldo has to give up because of knee injuries. • The development of health patterns may evolve. • A teenager smokes for fun, an adult smokes because of stress, and an older person stops because of cancer. This changes from individual to individual
