Abstract

Introduction: Lifestyle is an index that can affect the physical and mental health of individuals; many factors can affect it, including the residential environment. The purpose of this study was to identify and introduce those indices of residential environment that affects lifestyle dimensions. Methods: This study was performed on 497 women living in 5 districts of Rasht by analytical cross-sectional method. Data were collected using a questionnaire including demographic and lifestyle profiles and residential environment indices. SPSS software version 20 was used to analyze the data, also Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test and linear regression. Results: The findings showed that (11.3%) of the samples had a history of smoking, about 5% of them had a history of alcohol consumption and their physical activity level (score range: 1-5, mean score: 2.41) was modest. The strongest predictor of tobacco use, alcoholic drinks consumption and physical activity was marital status, dissatisfaction with facilities and dissatisfaction with the social variables of the residential environment, respectively. Conclusion: The results have shown that the human environment is of effect on the dimensions of women's lifestyle, especially physical activity, which can provide the basis for the incidence of non-contagious diseases; so there is a need for macro-management programs for improving the residential environment in order to reach the desired health outcomes.
