Abstract
In a previous study we proposed the notion of general health promotion action (GHPA) defined as “a general intention and actual practices to take action aimed to promote health.” GHPA is a subjective measure of health-promoting lifestyle which may reflect practices aimed to promote health and practices which are taken for non-health reasons but which nonetheless have health benefits. The present prospective study aimed to examine whether baseline stage of change for GHPA predicted health-related lifestyle practices at 24-month follow-up in a representative community-based cohort of 3129 Hong Kong Chinese adults.
