II.Behaviour associated with physical health – Behaviours related to the somatic aspect of health, such as maintaining a proper diet, avoiding spending excessive time in front of the television and computer, avoiding being surrounded by smokers
III.Attention to mental health – behaviour aimed at improving intellectual functioning, such as reading books, broadening knowledge, or acquiring new skills.
IV.Behaviour related to prevention and treatment – treatment-related behaviours and illness avoidance, such as following medical recommendations, reporting symptoms to a doctor and health information retrieval.
