Abstract

Background: Lifestyle risk factors, such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity or tobacco smoking can have detrimental effects on health and well-being. Therefore, it is important to examine multiple lifestyle risk factors instead of single ones. Cluster analysis allows the combination of single health behaviors in order to recognize distinguished behavior patterns. This study aimed to evaluate lifestyle patterns of general adult population in northwest of Iran with particular focus on dietary patterns, physical activity, and smoking status. Methods: The current cross-sectional study consists of 525 adults aged 18–64 years from East-Azarbaijan Iran. Latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to recognize patterns of lifestyle behaviors with ingredients of diet, physical activity, and smoking status. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire and dietary patterns were derived using factor analysis. Biochemical parameters including fasting blood sugar (FBS), serum lipids, liver enzyme and serum 25(OH)-D3 were measured with commercial ELIZA kits. Results: Mean ages of participants were 42.90 ± 11.89 years. Using principal component analysis (PCA) three major dietary patterns were extracted including traditional dietary pattern (e.g. nuts and dry fruits), unhealthy dietary pattern (e.g. fast foods, refined grains) and the healthy dietary patterns (e.g. fruits, vegetables). Using LCA, three classes of lifestyles pattern were identified: 1st class was characterized by a healthy dietary pattern, moderate physical activity, and low probability of smoking. 2nd class was characterized by a traditional dietary pattern, low level of physical activity and low probability of smoking and 3rd class was characterized by a unhealthy dietary pattern, low level of physical activity and low probability of smoking and further analysis found that there were significant differences in body mass index (BMI), Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), FBS, Hemoglobin (Hb), education levels and anxiety status between classes (P
