Alternate Text:The figure above shows the prevalence of selected unhealthy behavior-related characteristics among adults aged ≥18 years, by poverty status, in the United States, during 2005-2007. U.S. adults in with the lowest family incomes were more likely than adults with the highest family incomes to be current cigarette smokers (28.3% versus 15.1%), to be physically inactive (57.5% versus 27.8%), to be obese (28.8% versus 22.1%), and to sleep 6 hours or less in a 24-hour period (31.7% versus 25.9%).
Smoking and physical inactivity showed the steepest declines with increasing family income. In contrast, the percentage of adults who had five or more alcoholic drinks in 1 day in the past year was lowest among adults with family incomes below (17.2%) or near the poverty level (17.3%) and highest among adults in the highest family income group (23.6%).
