Among limited research addressing the physical health of carers, studies of carers of people with dementia and young people with psychosis suggest increased risk of chronic diseases in conjunction with higher levels of potentially modifiable lifestyle risk behaviours. This exploratory study, conducted with carers of people with various mental illnesses, aimed to determine: carer prevalence of health risk behaviours (inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, inadequate physical activity, harmful alcohol consumption, and tobacco smoking); interest in changing \u2018at risk\u2019 behaviours; and potential associations of socio-demographic characteristics with risk status and interest in change.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was conducted among family carers of people with a mental illness (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009144) residing in New South Wales, Australia.

The majority of carers were interested in improving \u2018at risk\u2019 behaviours (56.3\u201389.2%), with the exception of alcohol consumption (41.5%). Previously or never married participants were more likely to consume inadequate amounts of fruits and\/or vegetables compared to those married or cohabiting (Odds Ratio [OR]: 4.1, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.3\u201312.9, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.02).
