*3.3. Clustering of Health Risk Behaviors*

The prevalence rates of the eight possible health risk behavior clusters are shown in Table 3. The most common health risk behavior cluster was engaging in low physical activity and consuming <5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables (28%), followed by smoking and consuming <5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables (19%) and engaging in all three health risk behaviors (18%). Latino men did not have any frequencies for the categories of smoker with low physical activity and greater than or equal to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.


**Table 3.** Clustering of health risk behaviors among Latino men (*n* = 203).

Note: Latino men did not have any frequencies for the categories of smoker with low physical activity and greater than or equal to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. Among all Latino men, the majority had 2 health risk behaviors consisting of low physical activity and low intake of fruits and vegetables per day. The final model indicates that there is a dependence of fruit and vegetable consumption on physical activity (*p* = 0.08) and smoking (*p* = 0.13). # = Number. Y = Yes. N = No.

The prevalence rates of six possible health risk behavior clusters for Puerto Rican men are shown in Table 4. The most common health risk behavior cluster was engaging in smoking cigarettes and consuming <5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables (28%), followed by low physical activity and consuming <5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables (23%), and lastly engaging in all three health risk behaviors (18%).



Note: Among Puerto Rican men, the majority had 2 health risk behaviors consisting of smoking and low fruit and vegetable servings per day. The final model indicates that there is a dependence of fruit and vegetable consumption on both smoking (*p* = 0.04) and physical activity (*p* = 0.04). # = Number. Y = Yes. N = No.

The prevalence rates of seven possible health risk behavior clusters for Mexican men are shown in Table 5. The most common health risk behavior cluster was engaging in low physical activity and consuming <5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables (33%), followed by engaging in all three health risk behaviors (17%) and lastly engaging in smoking and consuming <5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables (10%).



Note: Among Mexican men, the majority had two health risk behaviors consisting of low physical activity and low fruit and vegetable servings per day. The final model indicates that there is a dependence of fruit and vegetable consumption on physical activity (*p* = 0.21). # = Number. Y = Yes. N = No.
