Abstract
The aim of this article is to encourage people to prevent and control lifestyle diseases as they cause socio-economic problems, permanent disabilities, and death. This article is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which is an extension of the Theory of Reasoned Action. The Theory of Planned Behavior suggests that intention is directly driven by four major constructs including attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control and intention. Moreover the theory suggests that the stronger the intention, the more likely an individual will perform the behavior. The performance of a behavior is determined by the individual’s intention to engage in it and the perception that the behavior is within his/her control. People make unwise choices by involving themselves in unhealthy habits that destroy their health. This article encourages people to take their health into their own hands, through preventing and controlling lifestyle diseases. A conceptual framework of preventive measures of lifestyle diseases is presented and discussed. The application of the Theory of Planned Behavior and a community case study based on Trans-theoretical Model of Health Behavior Change are discussed. Lifestyle diseases sometimes may not present obvious signs and symptoms; consequently many people live with them without knowing. People should take action to prevent and control lifestyle diseases.
