It has been found that the adjectives selected by using thefirst order analysis are represented in five basic factor size. The second scale, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scales is developed by Walker et al. This scale was re-adapted to Turkish, revised and renamed as Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II by Esin and Akca. The scale consists of 52 substances and six factors. These are health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and stress management.
