The aim of the study was to identify and characterize the patterns of the psychological and behavioral
characteristics, in relation to body mass index. In addition, the study examined the associations
between the patterns and demographic characteristics, exercise, eating habits, and healthrelated
psychological variables. Participants were 361 Greek adults, randomly selected and completed
self-reported questionnaires. The surveys examined demographic characteristics, healthrelated
psychological variables (attitudes and intentions toward exercise and healthy eating, perceived
behavioral control, health locus of control, general health, self-control, and body image)
and the behaviors of exercise and healthy eating. Cluster analysis identified two distinct profiles:
the first segment was related to healthier exercise and eating behaviors, and more positive results
in psychological variables. Interestingly, individuals in healthy segment correspond to a normal
Body Mass Index (BMI). The second segment was related to more unhealthy behaviors, as like
lower levels of exercise healthy eating and negative psychological variables. As expected, second
segments’ individuals had a mean overweight BMI. Furthermore, unhealthy segment profiles were
related to higher psychological distress and lower self-control. Cluster analysis provides us an inspiring
conclusion concerning the analysis of the combination of several variables. Healthy and
unhealthy patterns were identified into two categories, using behaviors and psychological beliefs.
The comparison between demographic characteristics and final clusters showed that age, education,
type of sport (team or individual) and the total years of exercise appeared significant differences.
All the above should be considered for the establishment of a healthy lifestyle to increase
intervention effectiveness of weight-loss management.
