Abstract
We conclude that data on tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are reasonably comparable and match the pattern of cancer incidence. Interpretation of data related to physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption should be cautious because of considerable between-country variations in the way these data were collected. Recent efforts for harmonisation of health survey questionnaires and sampling methods across European countries should be pursued in order to increase comparability of results.
