Being healthy means not only not being sick but also being physically, mentally, and socially healthy. It is crucial to determine the attitudes of a person toward well-being, which increases his/her quality of life, improves his or her perceptions about health, as well as to determine the situations that can reflect his/her attitudes for a lifetime. The aim of this study is to investigate adult men's health-related perceptions according to some variables and to examine the relationship between their approaches to the culture of being healthy and their gains in physical activity levels. The survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The participants consisted of 827 adult male volunteers aged 19-60 years and over from different regions of Türkiye. The data were collected online via a questionnaire with two parts; personal information and the items developed by Alfery et al. (2019) and Uğraş et al.(2021) in the Culture of Being Healthy (Healtism) Scale. The data were analyzed using percentage and frequency analyses to examine the statistical distributions. While an independent sample t-test was used for comparisons between two groups, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) tests were applied for comparisons between three or more groups, and the significance level was set at 0.01. The results revealed that the state of being healthy was high at an early age, but this situation decreased with age. Single men, university and university graduate men, adult men with high weekly physical activity levels, and individuals with VKI data at an ideal weight had higher awareness of being healthy.
