Pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs) and attitudes (PEAs) may influence different domains of health and wellbeing through several mechanisms. The household plays an important role in this relationship; however, there is no previous research on household level PEBs or the PEAs of other household members in relation to health and wellbeing. We used data from 22,427 people in 9344 multiple occupancy households in the UK Household Longitudinal Study. Explanatory variables were household level PEBs, individual PEAs and PEAs of other household members. We used five common physical and mental health and wellbeing outcome measures. Household PEBs were associated with higher life satisfaction. Individual PEAs were associated with lower life satisfaction and worse mental health. PEAs of other household members were associated with higher physical health, mental health and life satisfaction scores for all outcome measures. Findings suggest that ‘greener’ households can produce a ‘win-win’ result for the environment and public health.

亲环境行为和态度与英国家庭纵向研究中多住户的健康、福祉和生活满意度有关

亲环境行为 (PEB) 和态度 (PEA) 可能通过多种机制影响健康和福祉的不同领域。家庭在这种关系中扮演着重要角色；然而，之前没有关于家庭层面 PEB 或其他家庭成员的 PEA 与健康和福祉相关的研究。我们使用了英国家庭纵向研究中 9344 个多住户的 22427 人的数据。解释变量是家庭层面的 PEB、个人 PEA 和其他家庭成员的 PEA。我们使用了五种常见的身心健康和幸福结果衡量标准。家庭 PEB 与更高的生活满意度相关。个体 PEA 与较低的生活满意度和较差的心理健康有关。其他家庭成员的 PEA 与更高的身体健康有关，所有结果测量的心理健康和生活满意度得分。调查结果表明，“更环保”的家庭可以为环境和公共健康带来“双赢”的结果。
