Summary/Abstract: In everyday life, individuals act according to generally accepted socio-cultural norms and values, developing a prosocial behavior (which contributes to the confirmation and strengthening of these rules of social behavior) or, on the contrary, people may violate or ignore these norms and values, meaning this behavior of them, in which case the behavior is deviant, antisocial. Human behavior is judged by society according to commonly agreed norms and values, depending on the culture of the respective society. Behaviors, as we know, are labeled depending on compliance with or violation of social rules, that the individual learns and appropriates from family and society, and then continuing in the socio-professional environment. Compliance with the norms of the society in which we live attracts self-capitalization and from that society a positive revaluation, but their non-compliance will face a negative revaluation that reveals a type of behavior that has serious consequences, both at the level of the group and at the level of society. We can say that, in the latter case, we are talking about a non-compliance with social values and norms learned through the socialization process. Due to the fact that life styles are behavioral patterns and measuring instruments are difficult to apply, taking into account several indicators, implicitly long time application, we have chosen for this work to identify those factors that contribute to the establishment of an unhealthy lifestyle to contribute helping prevent possible illnesses that may arise from this lifestyle.
