The concept of health lifestyles is moving scholarship beyond individual health behaviors to integrated bundles of behaviors undergirded by group-based identities and norms. Health lifestyles research merges structure with agency, individual-level processes with group-level processes, and multifaceted behaviors with norms and identities, shedding light on why health behaviors persist or change and on the reproduction of health disparities and other social inequalities. Recent contributions have applied new methods and life course perspectives, articulating health lifestyles’s dynamic relationships to social contexts and demonstrating their implications for health and development. Culturally focused work has shown how health lifestyles function as signals for status and identity and perpetuate inequalities. We synthesize literature to articulate recent advances and challenges and demonstrate how health lifestyles research can strengthen health policies and inform scholarship on inequalities. Future work emphasizing health lifestyles’s collective nature and attending to upstream social structures will further elucidate complex social processes.

健康生活方式研究的贡献和挑战



健康生活方式的概念正在使学术研究超越个人健康行为,转向以群体身份和规范为基础的综合行为束。健康生活方式研究将结构与机构、个人层面的过程与群体层面的过程、多方面的行为与规范和身份相结合,揭示了健康行为持续或改变的原因以及健康差异和其他社会不平等的再现。最近的贡献应用了新的方法和生命历程视角,阐明了健康生活方式与社会环境的动态关系,并展示了它们对健康和发展的影响。以文化为重点的工作表明,健康生活方式如何成为地位和身份的信号,并导致不平等现象长期存在。我们综合文献来阐明最新的进展和挑战,并展示健康生活方式研究如何加强健康政策并为不平等问题的学术研究提供信息。未来的工作强调健康生活方式的集体性质并关注上游社会结构,将进一步阐明复杂的社会过程。
