Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımı ile Türkiye'de 1974-2015 yılları arasında 1994, 2001 ve 2009 ekonomik krizlerinin toplumun dört sağlığı davranışı üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, ekonomik krizlerin sağlık davranışlarına etkileri açısından, ekonomik krizlerin sigara tüketimi üzerinde anlamlı etkisinin olmadığı bulunmuştur (p>0.05). Diğer taraftan, sadece 2001 ve 2009 ekonomik krizleri alkol tüketimi üzerinde artırıcı bir etki yapmıştır (p<0.05). Sebze-meyve tüketimi için 1994 ve 2001 ekonomik krizleri anlamlı bir şekilde negatif etki yaparken, 2009 krizinin etkisi anlamlı bir şekilde pozitif olmuştur (p<0.05). Şeker tüketimi içinse sadece 2001 ve 2009 ekonomik krizlerin etkisi anlamlıdır (p<0.05). Bu  bulgulardan, ekonomik krizlerin sağlık davranışlarını hem negatif hem de pozitif yönde etkileyebileceği söylenilebilir.

The Impacts of Economic Crises on Health Behaviors of Population: An ARDL Bounds Testing Approach

Öz

The
main aim of this study is to reveal the impacts of 1994, 2001 and 2009 economic
crisis on the four health behaviors of population in Turkey between 1974-2015
through ARDL bounds testing approach. According to the results, in terms of the
impacts of economic crises on the health behaviors, it has been found the
economic crises have had no significant impact on tobacco consumption
(p>0.05). On the other hand, only the 2001 and 2009 economic crisis have had
an increasing impact on alcohol consumption (p<0.05). For vegetable-fruit
consumption, while the 1994 and 2001 economic crisis have had significantly
negative impact, the 2009 economic crisis’ impact was significantly positive
(p>0.05).  For sugar consumption, only
the impacts of the 2001 and 2009 economic crisis were significant (p<0.05).
From these findings it can be stated that economic crises may effect health
behaviors in both negative and positive way.
