Health promotion through lifestyle education is an important measure to enhance health status of postmenopausal women (PMW). This study evaluated the effectiveness of health-promoting lifestyle education intervention (HPLEI) on adhering to health-promoting behaviors (HPB) and enhancing the health status in a group of Sri Lankan PMW. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with randomly selected, sociodemographic status matched, 72 PMW from two geographically separated areas in Galle District, Sri Lanka, allocated as experimental (n = 37, 54.6 ± 4.5 years) and control (n = 35, 56.5 ± 3.4 years) groups. Education intervention focused on postmenopausal health management including lifestyle modifications was performed only for the experimental group during 8 weeks, and a health education package was provided. The control group was not given any planned education programme. Both groups were followed up for a 6-month period. HPB and menopausal symptoms severity were evaluated by validated Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II and Menopause Rating Scale, respectively. Anthropometric adiposity indices (AAIs) including weight, body mass index (BMI), waist (WC) and hip (HC) circumferences, and waist to hip ratio (WHR); cardiovascular disease risk indicators (CVDRI) including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol and triglycerides, muscle strength; hand grip strength (HGS) and physical performance (PP); gait speed (GS) were measured. All parameters were evaluated before the intervention (baseline) and after follow-up of 6 months. All evaluated parameters were not different between experimental and control groups (p>0.05) at the baseline. In the follow-up evaluation, HPB (p<0.001), menopausal symptom scores (p<0.001), AAI (p<0.001), CVDRI (SBP, DBP, and FBS) (p<0.05) and HGS and GS (p<0.001) were significantly improved in the experimental group but not in the control group. Health education intervention focused on health-promoting lifestyle modifications is effective in improving the adherence to HPB and enhances the health status in PMW. This provides positive impact in lifestyle medicine.

<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Health and lifestyle of women are of great importance in some periods of life, such as menopause. Since postmenopausal women are considered as a vulnerable group of the society, finding a strategy to improve their health seems necessary.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> This experimental study with pretest-posttest design was carried out on 200 postmenopausal women between 45 and 60 years old in Ramjerd, Marvdasht, Iran, in 2014. The women who met the inclusion criteria of the study were selected by simple random sampling. The data were collected using demographic information questionnaire, Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), and Walker’s Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP<strong>II</strong>). The data were entered into the SPSS statistical software (version 19) and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, independent t-test, and chi-square test. P-values less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The results of paired t-test showed a significant difference in the mean scores of health promoting lifestyle and MRS in the experimental group (P&lt;.05), but not in the control group (P&gt;.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Lifestyle education was effective in health promoting behaviors and menopausal symptoms. After the educational intervention, health promoting behaviors increased and menopausal symptoms decreased in the postmenopausal women. Therefore, educational interventions based on health promoting lifestyles can be used as an appropriate strategy to reduce postmenopausal women’s menopausal symptoms and improve their health.<strong></strong></p>

Background & Aim: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence is increasing, and this disease has become a crisis for the modern world. Today, the survival of patients has been increased, such that HIV is considered a chronic disease. So, Paying attention to health-promoting intervention is necessary. Thus, the current study aims to determine the effect of educating lifestyle based on the Pender model on health-promoting behaviors in HIV patients. Methods & Materials: In this randomized clinical trial study, 70 HIV patients who had inclusion criteria were selected and then divided into intervention and control groups randomly. The intervention group received 6 one-hour education sessions weekly based on Pender lifestyle (nutrition, physical activity, stress management, spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships, and health responsibility). A demographic questionnaire and HPLP2 were used, which were completed by both groups before the intervention and 8 weeks after the intervention. Chi-Square, Fisher, Independent t, and ANCOVA statistical tests and SPSS 16 software were used to analyze data. Results: results showed that there was no significant difference in various dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle between two groups before intervention. However, intervention group scores for nutrition (28.08±6.23 vs. 23.58±6.04), physical activity (22.26±6.46 vs. 16.39±6.09), stress management (25.03±5.14 vs. 19.96±6.41), spiritual growth (29.49±6.11 vs. 25.45±8.54), interpersonal relationships (29.17±6.14 vs. 23.11±7.45) and health responsibility (28.36±6.06 vs. 23.89±5.74) were significantly higher than control group 8 weeks after intervention. Moreover, the total score of health-promoting behaviors had a significant difference in the intervention group compared to the control group (166.7±28.43 vs. 134.5±35.68, p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be said that educating lifestyle based on the Pender model causes HIV patients to use health-promoting behaviors, which are recommended as a useful theory-based program for managers and providers of health services.

Menopause is a critical period in a woman's life that not only marks the end of reproductive ability, but it also associated with multiple physical, vasomotor, psychological, and sexual complaints Many of the serious complications that women face during menopause are caused by their own poor lifestyles and their lack of knowledge about self-care. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge and health promoting behavior at menopause among perimenopausal female teachers in Dawadmi City. The study applied cross sectional descriptive design with stratified random sampling used to obtain (348) female teachers statistically calculated from the total 3,708 teachers.  A structured closed ended questionnaire was used to collect data consisting of three parts: demographic information, questions to assess knowledge of female teachers about the pre-menopausal symptoms and The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II to measures health-promoting behaviors. 58.9% of the subjects had poor knowledge, 30.7% had moderate knowledge and only 10.3% of teachers had Good and Excellent knowledge levels. Total mean score related to Health Promoting Behaviors was 130.05 ± 27.555 which considered medium in general. In general, socio-demographic variable of female teachers did not show significant correlations by using Pearson Chi-Square test and ANOVA test, also, did not show significant correlations for total knowledge level. Total Behaviors level, which also showed significant correlation with age (F = 1.358, p = .028) and weight during last year (F = 1.303, p = .049) categories. In conclusion, iidentifying the knowledge of women about menopause has an essential role in the development of women’s health during menopausal years. Results suggest that participants do not consistently include health-promoting behaviors into their lifestyle, especially physical activity. Therefore, certain policies should be designed and conducted to promote health behavior. Develop a process to promote worksite wellness programs, and to support behavioral changes intended to promote healthy lifestyles.

Abstract Background Health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) is any measure taken to maintain a person’s health. The most important and influential factor in maintaining and enhancing health are health-promoting behaviors (HPB). This study aimed to determine HPB and their predictors among Iranian men. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 783 Iranian men, living in Tehran, were selected, using multistage cluster sampling. The employed questionnaires, namely the sociodemographic questionnaire, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II), and the second part of the Personal Resource Questionnaire (PRQ 85-Part 2), were completed through interviews. The relationship between the dependent variables (HPLP-II and its subdomains) and independent variables (sociodemographic characteristics and social support) was investigated using the adjusted General Linear Model (GLM). Results The mean ± standard deviation of the total HPLP-II score was 2.72 ± 0.44 in the range of 1–4. Among the six dimensions of the HPB, the participants achieved the highest score (3.00 ± 0.52) and lowest score (1.96 ± 0.56) in spiritual growth and physical activity, respectively. The Pearson test showed that the perceived social support was significantly correlated with HPLP-II (r = 0.23; p < 0.001) and all of its subdomains (r = 0.09–0.24; p < 0.001). Based on the adjusted general linear model, social support, age, job, and income adequacy were the predictors of HPL in men and could explain 30.9% of the variance of the HPL score. Conclusions The research findings confirmed the importance of social support and modifying variables (social and personal) in the incidence of HPB in men.
