Design and Methods This descriptive, cross-sectional, and relational study was conducted with 1007 voluntary participants between June 1 and September 30, 2020. Findings The participants' mean age was 33.46 +/- 15.42 years. A positive-significant relationship was found between the participants' total HA and HLBs scores (r = 0.06, p = 0.03). The simple linear regression analysis performed by the researchers indicated that the explanatory power of HA as a determinant of HLBs was statistically significant (R-2 = 0.05). Practical Implications This study determined that health anxiety increased the tendency towards HLBs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHealth anxietyHealth behaviorsHealth promotionHealthy lifestyleSociodemographyArticleEarly AccessWOS:0007230033000012-s2.0-851200311773483953210.1111/ppc.12971Q1Q2
