Abstract
ABSTRACT Several health behaviors begin in adolescence and affect health both during this period and in the following years. The purpose of this study was to determine healthy lifestyle behaviors (HLBs) and related factors in high school adolescents. This cross-sectional type study was conducted between March and May 2017 with 849 adolescent students from two high schools in the Izmir. Individual Question Form and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors-II Scale (HLBS-II) were used to collect study data. The mean age of participating adolescents aged 14–17 years was 15.5 ± 0.76 and according to body mass index percentiles of adolescents, 9.1% were obese. HLBS-II total mean score of adolescents was 127.1 ± 20.26. As a result of robust regression analysis with significant variables; a low level of significant interaction was found between BMI, father’s education level, family income perception, daily internet use, perception of health, perception of academic achievement and Total HLBS-II mean score (R2 = 0.12; F = 9.92, p < 0.05).
