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.
