What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors-II Scale

    Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors-II Scale aims to measure the health promotion behaviors of individuals. The scale consists of 52 items. It is a four-point Likert-type scale (1: "never," 2: "sometimes," 3: "often," and 4: "regularly"). The lowest score that can be obtained is 52, and the highest score is 208. High scores indicate that the individual practices the specified health behaviors at a high level.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, the intensity (mild, moderate, and severe) of physical activity is taken into account to accommodate different types of physical activities. The questionnaire provides information about sitting, walking, and the time spent in moderately intense and vigorous activities. Vigorous physical activities have a value of 8.0 MET, moderate activities have a value of 4.0 MET, and walking has a value of 3.3 MET. The minute and frequency (day) values of the relevant activities are multiplied by the MET values. The total physical activity value is obtained by summing the multiplication values obtained at the last stage. Accordingly, the physical activity levels of individuals are classified as physically inactive (<600 MET-min/week), low physical activity (600-3000 MET-min/week), and adequate physical activity (health benefits) (>3000 MET-min/week).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in body mass index

    Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2. The change in body mass index will be evaluated.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Change in waist/hip ratio

    Waist and hip will be combined to report Waist/Hip in cm. The change in waist/hip ratio will be evaluated

    Measured: 6 months
