 Introduction: Lifestyle is considered a determining factor in developing and progressing chronic diseases such as fatty liver, so the patient needs to follow a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the demographic status and health-promoting lifestyle characteristics of patients referred to the fatty liver clinic of a reference hospital in Tehran.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with the participation of 121 patients with fatty liver who were referred to the fatty liver clinic and eligible to enter the study with informed consent in 2024. The patients' demographic characteristics and lifestyle profiles were measured using the Health Promotion Lifestyle Questionnaire (HPLP2).
Results: More than 50% (50.4) of the participants were 40-59 years old, and most of them were male (64-52.2%) and obese (BMI =/> 30). According to ultrasound sonography, 81% had grade two and more fatty liver. Based on the HPLP2 score, the lowest scores were obtained in the dimensions of physical Activity (14.9±4.8), nutrition (22.5±4.5), and stress management (17.5±3.8), respectively. The scores of other dimensions were as responsibility (23.1±5.3), self-actualization (24.4±4.7), and interpersonal support dimension (25.7±4.3).
Conclusion: The lowest reported scores were related to physical Activity, nutrition, and stress management, respectively. Therefore, according to the results, lifestyle modification programs should be taught in Gastro-hepatology clinics for patients and from general media for the public. Meanwhile, studies with a larger sample size will provide better results and judgment.
