Abstract

Objectives: Israel has forcibly displaced more than 200,000 people to hotels or apartments, due to armed conflict. Our study aimed to identify changes in health-promoting behaviors during displacement.

Methods: Two online surveys were conducted assessing health-promoting behaviors and body weight before and during displacement. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to compare displaced and non-displaced respondents.

Results: A total of 997 and 153 participants completed the first and second surveys respectively. A significant decrease in diet quality (P < 0.001), physical activity frequency (P = 0.016), and an increase in diet quantity (P < 0.001) and weight (P = 0.001) were reported among displaced individuals, compared to non-displaced individuals. Living with children, and a healthy pre-war lifestyle were found to be independently protective of detrimental lifestyle change (OR = 0.46, 95% CI0.28-0.76 and OR = 0.63, 95% CI0.40-0.97), risk factors (OR = 2.40, 95% CI1.30-4.43 and OR = 3.54, 95% CI1.71-7.32), for detrimental lifestyle changes.

Conclusion: Detrimental changes to health promoting behaviors were reported in all study groups, although they were significantly higher in displaced individuals. Immediate changes did not differ between respondents staying in hotels or apartments, but were sustained only in hotels.

境内流离失所的以色列人个人促进健康行为的有害变化。

目标：由于武装冲突，以色列强迫20多万人迁往旅馆或公寓。我们的研究旨在确定流离失所期间健康促进行为的变化。方法：通过两项在线调查评估迁移前和迁移期间的健康促进行为和体重。进行单变量和多变量分析来比较流离失所和非流离失所的受访者。结果：共997名参与者完成了第一次调查，153名参与者完成了第二次调查。据报道，与非流离失所者相比，流离失所者的饮食质量（P < 0.001）、身体活动频率（P = 0.016）显著下降，饮食量（P < 0.001）和体重（P = 0.001）增加。与儿童一起生活和战前健康的生活方式被发现是有害生活方式改变的独立保护因素（OR = 0.46, 95% CI0.28-0.76和OR = 0.63, 95% CI0.40-0.97），有害生活方式改变的危险因素（OR = 2.40, 95% CI1.30-4.43和OR = 3.54, 95% CI1.71-7.32）。结论：所有研究组都报告了促进健康行为的有害变化，尽管流离失所者的这种变化明显更高。住在酒店或公寓的受访者之间的即时变化没有差异，但只有在酒店中才持续。
