Lifestyle Scores and Behavior Change Mindset: A Cross-Cultural Validation Study of Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire in Farsi.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Examining lifestyle factors is an essential part of health promotion. The goal of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire (SLIQ) for Farsi-speaking populations. Additionally, it explored the relationship between lifestyle scores and behavior change mindset, focusing on readiness for change and personal control. Methods: A total of 91 healthy individuals were recruited and asked to complete the Farsi SLIQ, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the Healthy Lifestyle and Personal Control Questionnaire (HLPCQ). A translation-back translation process was used to adapt the SLIQ, ensuring accuracy in cultural and linguistic contexts. Psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, were evaluated using Cronbach's Results: The Farsi SLIQ showed moderate reliability as shown by Cronbach's Conclusion: The Farsi SLIQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing lifestyle behaviors in clinical and research settings. Because the scale is simple, it is well suited for behavior-change interventions; our findings also show that perceived control and readiness to change are key drivers of healthy lifestyles. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously because self-reported data, particularly on alcohol and tobacco use, may be biased.
