Health-promoting lifestyle behaviours are part of the activities of daily living that influence individual happiness, values and well-being. They play a crucial role in prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among all age groups. Current statistics on mortality, disability and morbidity associated with NCDs are alarming globally. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) for a health-promoting lifestyle behaviour programme enhances health behaviours that are important in the prevention and control of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Our study aimed to map evidence on the use of ICT in comprehensive health-promoting lifestyle behaviour among healthy adults.
Eleven electronic databases were searched for the study. We included studies published in English between January 2007 and December 2018 reporting on healthy adults, ICT and any subscales of the health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP). Studies focusing on diseases or disease management and studies that combine monitoring tools in the form of hardware (accelerometer or pedometer) with ICT or computer games were excluded. Data were summarised numerically and thematically.
All the studies reviewed were conducted in developed countries. Most of the studies reported on physical activity, and findings of one study covered all the subscales of HPLP. The use of ICT for health-promoting lifestyle behaviours was reported to be effective in ensuring health behaviours that can improve physical and mental health.
Our findings showed that there is a dearth of knowledge on comprehensive health-promoting lifestyle behaviour that can be beneficial for the control and prevention of NCDs. There is a need to carry out primary studies on the use of ICT and comprehensive health-promoting lifestyle, especially among adults in low-income and middle-income countries where there are alarming statistics for mortality and disability associated with NCDs.

促进健康的生活方式行为是日常生活活动的一部分，影响着个人的幸福、价值观和幸福感。它们在预防和控制所有年龄段的非传染性疾病（NCD）方面发挥着至关重要的作用。目前，与 NCD 相关的死亡率、残疾率和发病率的统计数据在全球范围内令人震惊。利用信息和通信技术（ICT）开展促进健康的生活方式行为方案，增强了在预防和控制传染性和非传染性疾病方面重要的健康行为。我们的研究旨在绘制使用 ICT 促进健康成年人综合生活方式行为的证据。
在 11 个电子数据库中搜索了这项研究。我们纳入了 2007 年 1 月至 2018 年 12 月期间以健康成年人、ICT 和健康促进生活方式档案（HPLP）的任何子量表为研究对象的英文发表研究。重点关注疾病或疾病管理的研究以及将监测工具（加速度计或计步器）与 ICT 或电脑游戏相结合的研究被排除在外。数据以数值和主题形式进行总结。
所有审查的研究均在发达国家进行。大多数研究报告了身体活动，一项研究的结果涵盖了 HPLP 的所有子量表。使用 ICT 促进健康的生活方式行为被报告为确保可以改善身心健康的健康行为是有效的。
我们的研究结果表明，对于可以有益于控制和预防 NCD 的综合健康促进生活方式行为，知识匮乏。有必要开展关于 ICT 和综合健康促进生活方式的原始研究，特别是在 NCD 死亡率和残疾率令人震惊的低收入和中等收入国家的成年人中。
