Most studies that involve Black Seventh-Day Adventists (SDAs) have been conducted in the United States. We sought to examine the association between religious involvement and lifestyle practices among Black SDAs in Canada. Method. A convenience sample of 509 Black SDA church members 18 years and older completed a self-administered questionnaire, assessing religious involvement and seven lifestyle practices promoted by the SDA church: diet, physical activity, water intake, exposure to sunlight, alcohol use, caffeine and tobacco use, and rest. Results. Compliance with lifestyle practices ranged from a low of 10% meeting fitness guidelines to a high of 99% abstaining from tobacco products. Religious involvement and lifestyle were positively related ( rs = .11, p &lt; .05). Multivariate analyses indicated that private religious practice ( \u03b2 = .16, p =.003), importance of the health principles ( \u03b2 = .17, p = .003), and acceptance of health principles ( \u03b2 = .65, p = .00001) significantly predicted the number of behaviors practiced. Conclusion. Greater religious involvement is associated with positive lifestyle practices but is not an independent predictor of lifestyle practices for Black Canadian SDAs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524839914532812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,2]],"date-time":"2014-05-02T00:36:44Z","timestamp":1398991004000},"page":"264-270","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Religious Involvement and Health-Related Behaviors Among Black Seventh-Day Adventists in Canada"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Monica M.","family":"McKenzie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naomi N.","family":"Modeste","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen Hopp","family":"Marshak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colwick","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524839914532812","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1049-3867(02)00132-9"},{"key":"bibr2-1524839914532812","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.publhealth.28.021406.144016"},{"key":"bibr3-1524839914532812","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Clark W., Schellenberg G.
