dc.description.abstractObjectives: In the pursuit of healthier lives and the prevention of chronic diseases like diabetes, the role of health behavior interventions has become increasingly significant. There are approximately 9 million diabetic patients in Turkey. The aim of this study was to explore the dynamics of health-related behaviors, focusing on the role of gender differences, and study their influence on weight management, and the potential of intervening early to achieve weight loss and prevent diabetes. Methods: A total sample of 200 was selected to conduct the study which included 50 males and 150 females. In order to determine the role of gender differences in weight loss mechanism, mediation analyses were done. Results: It was evident that gender had a direct and significant impact on weight loss (-.688, p= 0.061). Moreover, self-monitoring of calorie and food intake was found to have a significant impact on weight loss. Conclusions: The study concludes that along with the differences between gender, health behavior interventions play a critical role in affecting the percentage of weight loss and preventing diabetes. It was also evident that diabetes was more frequently seen in females when compared to males.en_US
