本文利用代理结构的辩论作为一个框架，构建一个健康的生活方式理论。目前还不存在这样的理论，但事实上，许多日常生活方式的做法都涉及到对健康结果的考虑，这就强调了对一个理论的需要。个人主义范式影响了几个学科的健康生活方式的概念，但这种方法忽略了这种生活方式的结构维度，并限制了对经验世界的适用性。本文的方向是提出一个健康生活方式的理论，包括机构和结构的考虑，强调恢复结构到适当的位置。文章首先定义机构和结构，然后介绍了健康的生活方式模式和支持它的理论和实证研究。
This article utilizes the agency-structure debate as a framework for constructing a health lifestyle theory. No such theory currently exists, yet the need for one is underscored by the fact that many daily lifestyle practices involve considerations of health outcomes. An individualist paradigm has influenced concepts of health lifestyles in several disciplines, but this approach neglects the structural dimensions of such lifestyles and has limited applicability to the empirical world. The direction of this article is to present a theory of health lifestyles that includes considerations of both agency and structure, with an emphasis upon restoring structure to its appropriate position. The article begins by defining agency and structure, followed by presentation of a health lifestyle model and the theoretical and empirical studies that support it.
