Abstract
To describe the relationship of subjective health and harmful lifestyle with familial risk factors, such as low parental educational level, parental psychiatric disorder reported by their offspring, alcohol use, and divorce. 3615 hungarian women aged 15-24 in 1998. The questionnaire addressed socio-economic factors, physical and mental health, and health damaging behaviours. Low self-rated health (OR: 2.32; Cl: 1.54-3.47; p < 0.001) or at least five health complaints (OR: 2.09; CI: 1.68-2.60; p < 0.001) were significantly more common among women with reported parental psychiatric disorder. Drug use (OR: 2.35; CI: 1.86-2.98; p < 0.001) and regular or excessive alcohol consumption (OR: 1.86; CI: 1.46-2.37) was in strongest association with parental high education. Family related social problems, especially reported parental psychiatric disorders, regular alcohol consumption, and educational level, are important factors to be taken into account when planning specific interventions for young women.
