Aim

This study aims to determine the relationship between fertility health knowledge and healthy lifestyle behaviors in adult women and men.

Methods

It is a cross-sectional, relationship-seeking type. The research was completed with 1417 participants (921 female, 496 male) of active reproductive age living in Turkey. Data were collected online using the snowball sampling method between August 2023 and January 2024.

Results

The women who participated in the study answered 75.620% of the Fertility Health Knowledge Survey (FHKS) correctly, and their Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS)-II mean score was 123.865 ± 21.552. The men answered 68.770% of the FHKS correctly, and their HLBS-II mean score was 123.746 ± 21.077. A significant relationship was found between the participants' FHKS and HLBS-II scores. Healthy lifestyle behaviors explained 14% of the total variance in fertility health knowledge in women and 4.3% in men.

Conclusions

Participants exhibited fertility health knowledge and healthy lifestyle behaviors above the mean. It was determined that healthy lifestyle behaviors are a significant determinant of fertility health knowledge.

确定成年男女生育健康知识与健康生活方式行为之间的关系

目的探讨成年男性和女性生育健康知识与健康生活方式的关系。方法为横断面型、关系寻求型。该研究由居住在土耳其的1417名参与者（921名女性，496名男性）完成。在2023年8月至2024年1月期间，采用滚雪球抽样法在线收集数据。结果参与研究的女性生育健康知识调查（FHKS）正确率为75.620%，健康生活方式行为量表(HLBS)-II平均得分为123.865±21.552分。男性FHKS的正确率为68.770%，其HLBS-II平均得分为123.746±21.077。参与者的FHKS与HLBS-II得分之间存在显著的相关关系。健康的生活方式行为解释了女性生育健康知识总差异的14%和男性的4.3%。结论参试者生育健康知识和健康生活方式行为均高于平均水平。健康的生活方式行为是生育健康知识的重要决定因素。
