In food-related lifestyle, health type (β=.26, p<.001), foodie type (β=.20, p=.002), and stable type (β=.14, p=.027) and occupation (β=-.14, p=.037) influenced on health promotion behavior. The explanatory power value of regression model was 46.5% and it was statistically significant (F=16.73, p<.001). @*Conclusion@#An early program may help health promotion behavior by enhancing the dispositional optimism and food-related lifestyle in middle-aged early onset stroke patients.
