| Sumario: | Psychological health habits constitute one of the main health predictors within healthy lifestyles. We conduct a descriptive and cross-sectional design on an incidental and random sample of 788 adult subjects aged between 22 and 72 years of age. The health-related Lifestyle Assessment Scale (E-VEVSA) was implemented, analyzing the dimension that explains psychological health habits. 17.5% of the subjects have unhealthy psychological health habits, 57.4% have habits tending towards health and only 25.1% have healthy habits. Pearson's Chi-square tests show a positive and significant association of men with the level tending towards health, while women are associated with the low healthy level. Likewise, with the course of age there is a significant increase in the level of psychological health habits. These differences by sex and age are verified with inferential statistical tests (t-student tests and one-factor ANOVA). It is necessary to promote preventive programs to improve psychological health in the adult population that has low or unhealthy levels of lifestyle. |
