Many people understand advice on healthy lifestyle but fail to act on it, according to a report from NHS Health Scotland.
A majority described their alcohol consumption in moderate terms despite drinking over recommended limits.
Nearly nine out of 10 adults knew they should eat five portions of fruit and vegetables daily, but less than a quarter did so.
Researchers concluded that offering advice alone was unlikely to work.
The Knowledge, Attitudes and Motivations to Health report used data from the 2010 Scottish Health Survey.
