Blood donors are on average healthier than the general population, a phenomenon known as the \u201chealthy donor effect.\u201d Earlier studies have also pointed to healthier behaviors among whole blood donors than the general population. This study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of four healthy behaviors (sufficient physical activity, avoiding cigarette smoking, low to moderate alcohol use, and maintaining a healthy weight) among platelet donors and to compare the results with those in the general population of similar ages. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Eighty\u2010six platelet donors were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to assess physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use. Sociodemographic information including gender, age, and education was also collected from all participants. Chi\u2010square statistics and logistic regression were used in statistical analysis. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The mean age of the study donors was 51 years, 56% were female. Most were employed (90%), and 48% hold a bachelor\u2019s or higher degree. The prevalence of healthy behaviors differed by education gradients but not by gender and age. About 49% of the donors met the weekly physical activity recommendations, less than 5% were daily smokers, and~26% were classified as more frequent drinkers (\u22651 to \u22645 times per week). The corresponding percentages for the general population were, respectively, 33%, 13%, and 35%. The prevalence of overweight and obesity, as assessed by body mass index (BMI), among donors were 50% and 29%, respectively, much higher than the current prevalence of overweight and obesity of 37% and 19%, respectively, among adults in the general population. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The individual health behaviors of the majority of the study population could be characterized by a relatively high level of physical activity, low prevalence of daily smoking, and moderate alcohol drinking. The above\u2010average overweight\/obesity prevalence among platelet donors in this cohort is of concern because of the potential serious health consequences and it warrants further reflection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/8891885","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,23]],"date-time":"2021-03-23T19:20:24Z","timestamp":1616527224000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Health Behavior and Lifestyle Trends among Platelet Donors: Results from a Questionnaire\u2010Based Survey in Norway"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Seyed Ali","family":"Mousavi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brita","family":"Hermundstad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Per Christian","family":"Saether","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica Jenssen","family":"Nybruket","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa Risopatron","family":"Knutsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1924-0069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abid Hussain","family":"Llohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(81)92463-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/hrt.78.2.188"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a009669"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.13428"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.13975"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transci.2019.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_2","first-page":"458","article-title":"An epidemiologic study of mortality within a cohort of rubber workers, 1964-72","volume":"16","author":"McMichael A.
