Özet
Introduction: The prevalence of obesity has become a remarkable public health concern in a global extent. This study aimed to examine the difference between the healthy lifestyle behaviors of women with normal weight and those who are obese. Method: This comparative descriptive study included a total of 302 women aged 18-49 years. Results: According to regression analysis; duration of education (beta = -0.154), (age (beta = 0.376), presence of obese individuals in the family (beta = 0.177) and HLSBS II scores (beta = -0.115) were the factors that affected the BMI. The predictive value of these variables was 34.1%. Discussion: A significant difference was found between women with normal weight and obese women in terms of several sub-dimensions and overall HLSBS II score. We recommend that healthcare staff should design training and counseling services to improve the health behaviors of overweight and obese women.
