Educational attainment and the clustering of health-related behavior among U.S. young adults.
We documented health-related behavior clustering among US young adults and assessed the extent to which educational attainment was associated with the identified clusters. ⋯ Substantial fractions of US young adults, particularly those with less than college degrees, exhibit unhealthy behavior profiles. Efforts to improve health among young adults should focus particular attention on the clustering of poor health-related behavior, especially among individuals who have less than a college degree.
