This questionnaire is designed to assess health-promoting behaviors across multiple domains of everyday functioning. The Healthy Lifestyle Profile provides a structured self-report overview of lifestyle practices relevant to health maintenance and prevention. It is commonly used in clinical, counseling, and research settings to support screening and treatment planning.
The measure includes 52 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Items sample behaviors related to nutrition, physical activity, stress management, health responsibility, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual growth or inner balance. Results from the Healthy Lifestyle Profile can be used to identify relative strengths and areas for intervention, monitor change over time, and inform collaborative goal setting. The scale is attributed to Nola J. Pender.
