This paper discusses the significance of living arrangements for the adoption of health behaviors in a national sample of 1458 adolescents and young adults in the age group 16–25 years in Norway. Living arrangements were operationalized in terms of living with spouse or partner, living with parents/siblings or living alone. Results from multiple logistic regression analyses showed that the effect of living arrangements was most significant for health compromising behaviors, i.e. smoking and alcohol consumption. Results from discriminant analyses indicated that adolescent men and women constituted two separate systems of engagement in health behaviors but that living arrangements functioned in the same manner within each system.
