The concept of life style recently has gained prominence in sociomedical research; yet the term remains poorly defined. This paper traces the evolution of the life style concept from its origins in sociological and personality studies to its current use in reference to behavioral risk factors for disease. Particular attention is given to the changes in meaning that have taken place over the past few decades. Similarities between the notion of life style and concepts of cultural integration are noted, and the various uses of life style are categorized along an idealist-materialist continuum. Finally, the authors fault medicalized notions of life style for failing to acknowledge the importance of the context and meaning of health-related behavior.
生活方式这一概念最近在社会医学研究中受到了广泛关注；然而，该术语的定义仍然不够清晰。本文追溯了生活方式概念的演变，从其在社会学和人格研究中的起源，到目前用于指代疾病的行为风险因素。特别关注了过去几十年中意义的变化。文中指出了生活方式概念与文化整合概念之间的相似之处，并沿着唯心主义-唯物主义的连续统对生活方式的各种用途进行了分类。最后，作者批评了将生活方式医学化的观念，因为这些观念没有认识到健康相关行为的背景和意义的重要性。
