Sažetak
This chapter explores how living alone is associated with health behaviours across countries, taking into account key demographic and socioeconomic characteristics that distinguish those living alone from those who reside with others. We explore how living alone is associated with four key indicators of health behaviour (smoking, drinking, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet) among people aged 60 and over in Europe and Israel using SHARE waves 4-6 data. In addition, we consider possible age differences and, in particular, whether living alone in advanced old age has greater adverse effects on health behaviours than among the young old. Finally, we examine whether and how different national contexts shape the relationships between living alone and health-related behaviour.
