Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : This study focuses on the types of health-related behavior clusters in middle-aged persons and examines the nature of each cluster, the relationship between the clusters, and health-related outcomes.
Methods : Cluster analysis was performed on standardized items, such as smoking, drinking, and exercise.
Results : As a result of cluster analysis, we categorized the items into the following clusters: passive attitude cluster, active attitude cluster, smoking cluster, drinking cluster, health anxiety cluster, and health indifference cluster.
Conclusion : This study contributes to the field by conducting exploratory research on clustering health behaviors and examining the correlation between their general characteristics and chronic disease status. Especially, we found that the results of this study have different aspects compared to previous studies that were conducted in all ages. This study can be valuable information to serve as a foundational source for mediating middle-aged persons' health risk factors.
