Abstract
Healthy lifestyle adoption is a critical
determinant of physical, psychological, and social well-being across the
lifespan. Despite increasing awareness regarding the benefits of balanced
nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, and
avoidance of harmful substances, global trends indicate rising prevalence of
lifestyle-related disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases,
and mental health conditions. Understanding the determinants that influence
healthy lifestyle adoption is essential for designing effective health
promotion strategies. This article explores the multidimensional determinants
of healthy lifestyle adoption, including individual, psychological, social,
cultural, environmental, economic, and policy-related factors. The article also
highlights the role of health literacy, digital influence, and behavioral
theories in shaping health behaviors. By examining these determinants
comprehensively, healthcare professionals, educators, and policymakers can
develop targeted interventions to promote sustainable lifestyle changes and
improve population health outcomes.
