This research explores hedonistic lifestyle patterns as a social reality that grows within peer interactions, both in adolescence and adulthood. The investigation applies a qualitative descriptive literature review by examining national scholarly publications issued from 2016 to 2026. The findings indicate that hedonistic tendencies should not be interpreted merely as individual choices to seek enjoyment. Instead, they emerge from social processes shaped by interaction, peer influence, and shared norms that develop within a group. In this context, peer circles function as influential socialization agents, encouraging conformity so individuals can be accepted and avoid social exclusion. The study also identifies differences in underlying motivations across life stages. Among adolescents, hedonistic behavior is closely linked to identity exploration and self-definition. For adults, however, it is more associated with maintaining self-image, signaling social standing, and displaying markers of achievement. Overall, environmental dynamics, the expansion of consumer-oriented culture, and intensive exposure to social media play significant roles in strengthening this phenomenon in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy and lifestyle on financial management of students of the Management Study Program at Universitas Pamulang. This research uses a quantitative method with an associative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 160 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, simple and multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that partially financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on financial management with a t-value of 7,161 > t-table 1.975 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, while lifestyle also has a positive and significant effect with a t-value of 6,881 > t-table 1.975 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, financial literacy and lifestyle have a significant effect on financial management with an F-value of 853.671 > F-table 3.05 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination of 0.916 indicates that 91,6% of the variation in students’ financial management is explained by financial literacy and lifestyle, while the remaining 8,4% is influenced by other factors outside this study.

Hyperglycemia is a condition of elevated blood sugar levels that can potentially lead to various health complications if not controlled early. This condition is often influenced by unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, and low awareness among adolescents regarding regular blood sugar checks. Adolescents are an age group that is vulnerable to lifestyle changes, putting them at risk of developing metabolic disorders later in life. This community service activity aims to increase adolescent knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers of hyperglycemia and the importance of preventive measures from school age. The activity was carried out at SMK Nurul Ulum Lebaksiu, involving 59 students as participants. The methods used included health education through audio-visual media, interactive lectures, discussions, and Random Blood Sugar (GDS) tests for early detection. The results of the activity showed an increase in student knowledge based on a comparison of pre-test and post-test scores, as well as the implementation of GDS tests on all participants. This activity is expected to foster healthy lifestyle behaviors and increase adolescent awareness of the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Financial Literacy, the use of Digital Payments, Lifestyle, and Pocket Money on the Consumptive Behavior of Generation Z. The research subjects were students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Budi Luhur University. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of online questionnaires. The population in this study consisted of 1,017 active students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Budi Luhur University, from the 2022-2025 batch, with a sample size of 100 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling method. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 25 with multiple linear regression analysis, classical assumption testing, model feasibility testing (F test), t test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results showed that financial literacy, lifestyle, and pocket money significantly influenced students' consumptive behavior. Meanwhile, the use of Digital Payment does not significantly affect students' Consumptive Behavior. In addition, the results of the model feasibility test (F test) show that Financial Literacy, the use of Digital Payment, Lifestyle, and Pocket Money together significantly affect Consumptive Behavior, so that the regression model is declared feasible for use.

Lifestyle changes, such as smoking habits, low physical activity, and suboptimal sleep patterns, have the potential to affect various health indicators. However, empirical evidence showing a direct link between lifestyle factors and objective health indicators still shows varying results. This study aims to analyze the relationship between lifestyle factors and health indicators in adult respondents, in an effort to provide an empirical picture of behavioral factors related to health conditions. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional observational analytic design. Data were obtained from 94 respondents who had complete lifestyle data and health examination results. Lifestyle factors analyzed included smoking habits, exercise frequency, and sleep duration, while health indicators included body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, uric acid, and pulse rate. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and the Spearman correlation test according to the characteristics of the data distribution. The results showed that smoking habits were significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05), exercise frequency was significantly associated with BMI and systolic blood pressure (p < 0.05), and sleep duration was significantly associated with uric acid levels (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the relationship between lifestyle factors and other health indicators did not show statistical significance. These findings indicate that the influence of lifestyle on health is specific to certain indicators and is not evenly distributed across all health parameters. This study concludes that identifying lifestyle factors relevant to certain health indicators is important as a basis for formulating more targeted health promotion strategies.

This study seeks to examine the influence of brand image, product innovation, and lifestyle on purchasing decisions for iPhone smartphones among residents of Patumbak Village, Dusun V, Deli Serdang. Specifically, it aims to analyze the individual effect of brand image on purchasing decisions, the effect of product innovation on purchasing decisions, and the effect of lifestyle on purchasing decisions, as well as their combined impact. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, utilizing questionnaires, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The population consists of 740 residents of Patumbak Village, Dusun V, and the sample of 88 respondents was determined using non-probability sampling with the Slovin formula.

The findings indicate that the calculated F value (205.841) exceeds the F table value (2.71), demonstrating a significant simultaneous effect of brand image, product innovation, and lifestyle on purchasing decisions. Partially, brand image (t = 2.885), product innovation (t = 2.491), and lifestyle (t = 5.570) each show t-values greater than the t table value (1.662), confirming their significant individual influence. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.570 reveals that 57% of the variation in purchasing decisions is explained collectively by the three independent variables.

As HIV transitions into a manageable chronic condition, optimizing lifestyle behaviors is key to achieving long-term health outcomes. This study aims to explore lifestyle behaviors in people with HIV (ODHIV) who participate in peer support groups as well as identify socioeconomic and clinical predictors of healthy lifestyle engagement. The research design was a cross-cutting analysis involving 250 ODHIV registered in a community support group. Lifestyle behavior was measured using  a modified Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) instrument. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent predictors, with Nagelkerke R² and Hosmer–Lemeshow tests  to assess model suitability. The results showed that 56.2% of respondents had a healthy lifestyle. Factors of higher education (OR = 2.77; p = 0.006), older age (OR = 2.32; p = 0.015), employment status (OR = 2.00; p = 0.029), and longer duration of ART therapy (OR = 1.17 per year; p = 0.003) were significant predictors. The model explains 32% of lifestyle variations, with ART compliance and substance control as the strongest behavioral domains. These findings confirm the role of peer support groups as a behavioural reinforcement environment, but socioeconomic disparities remain influential. The integration of theory-based lifestyle interventions into community-based HIV services is necessary to optimize chronic disease outcomes.

The advancement of social media platforms, especially TikTok, has drastically changed the behavioral patterns and lifestyles of Generation Z. One psychological impact of intensive social media use is Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), which is the worry of missing out on news, trends, or viral social activities. This study aims to reveal how FoMO affects the lifestyle of Generation Z active on TikTok, focusing on aspects of mental health, shopping habits, and the balance of social interactions. This research uses a literature study approach with a qualitative descriptive method, through in-depth analysis of 21 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025. The findings show that FoMO is associated with increased anxiety, depression, personal dissatisfaction, and excessive social media use among Generation Z. Furthermore, FoMO also drives impulsive consumption patterns and purchases triggered by online trends as well as the desire for social approval. On the other hand, internal factors such as self-confidence and self-control ability have proven to reduce the level of FoMO and its negative effects. This study concludes that FoMO is a complex phenomenon that impacts the mental health and lifestyle of Generation Z, thus requiring measures such as increasing digital literacy, strengthening self-control, and using social media wisely to reduce the negative impacts of FoMO in the long term.

The development of e-commerce and digital financial services has changed consumer behavior, particularly among Generation Z. One emerging innovation is the Paylater service, which offers convenience and flexibility in transactions. While providing easy access, the use of Paylater also has the potential to increase consumer behavior and impulsive purchases. This study aims to analyze the role of financial literacy and lifestyle in the use of Paylater services among Generation Z through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. A total of ten scientific articles published in the last five years were analyzed to examine the relationship between financial literacy, lifestyle, and Paylater usage behavior. The results show that financial literacy has an inconsistent influence and tends to act as a controlling factor, while a consumptive and hedonistic lifestyle is the dominant factor driving Paylater use. In addition, behavioral factors such as impulsive purchases and technological convenience also strengthen the tendency to use these services. This study concludes that increasing financial literacy balanced with controlling a consumptive lifestyle is very influential in encouraging the wise and sustainable use of Paylater.

This study examines the phenomenon of K-Pop slang usage among young generations and its influence on lifestyle and social identity formation. The research background reveals that K-Pop culture has significantly impacted language practices, particularly through the adoption of specific terms within fan communities. The objective is to analyze how K-Pop slang functions as a linguistic creativity tool and identity marker among Indonesian youth. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from social media platform X (Twitter) through purposive sampling of posts containing K-Pop slang terms. Findings indicate that K-Pop slang encompasses semantic shifts, acronyms, abbreviations, and new terminology that strengthen community solidarity and collective identity. The implications suggest that while K-Pop slang serves as creative expression and social bonding mechanism, excessive usage may affect proper Indonesian language proficiency in academic contexts. This research contributes to understanding the balance between linguistic creativity, global cultural influence, and Indonesian language preservation.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing prevalence in Indonesia. This condition not only affects physical health but also requires patients to make significant lifestyle changes to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Efforts to adopt a healthy lifestyle such as regulating diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress are often met with various challenges. In this context, family support plays a crucial role in helping patients adapt and remain consistent in self-management. This study aims to describe the experiences of type 2 diabetes patients in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and the forms of family support they receive. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving three participants undergoing outpatient treatment at RSUD Sultan Iskandar Muda Nagan Raya. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The findings show that patients face challenges in maintaining dietary control, consistent exercise, and emotional balance. However, family support such as reminding patients to take medication, providing healthy meals, and offering emotional motivation serves as a key factor that strengthens patients’ commitment to a healthy lifestyle. The study concludes that the success of diabetes management is highly influenced by active family involvement. Therefore, educational and health intervention programs should integrate families as essential partners in supporting patients with diabetes.

Financial literacy and lifestyle are two important factors influencing students' ability to manage their personal finances. Students are in a transitional phase toward financial independence and are therefore required to make rational financial decisions amidst the influence of modern lifestyles. This study aims to understand how students interpret financial literacy and lifestyle in their daily financial management practices. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations of active students from various backgrounds. The results indicate that students generally understand the basic concepts of financial literacy, such as managing pocket money and preparing a simple budget. However, the application of this financial literacy is often suboptimal due to the influence of a consumptive lifestyle and social pressures. This study provides important implications for the development of contextual financial literacy education programs in higher education environments. The implication of this research is the importance of developing financial literacy education programs that are more contextual and relevant to students' lifestyles so they can manage their personal finances more wisely and effectively.

The increasing integration of digital technology into the daily lives of Generation Alpha has contributed to reduced physical activity, highlighting the need to understand the factors shaping children’s movement behaviors. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach to examine the relationship between parental educational background and the physical activity levels of students aged 13–15 at SMP 1 Waru Sidoarjo. Data were collected through a parental education questionnaire and the PAQ-C instrument, which assesses children’s physical activity over the past seven days. A total of 45 respondents participated, and the data were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation tests, depending on distribution. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant—though weak—association between parental education and children’s physical activity levels. Parents with higher education tend to promote more active lifestyles by regulating screen time, providing access to sports facilities, and modeling healthy behaviors. These results underscore the essential role of families in developing healthy routines among Generation Alpha and the need for educational initiatives to enhance parental awareness of physical activity in an increasingly digital environment.

Rapid adoption of cashless payments has reshaped everyday spending, especially among young consumers. While e-wallets deliver speed and convenience, constant exposure to discounts, cashbacks, and one-click checkouts may also foster more frequent discretionary purchases. This study examines the relationship between e-wallet usage intensity and consumptive lifestyle, focusing on how convenience and promotional stimuli relate to spending tendencies. Using a cross-sectional online survey of students and early-career workers, we collected self-reports on payment habits and consumption patterns with validated Likert-type instruments. Data were screened and analyzed with correlation and linear regression after basic assumption checks. The results indicate a positive and statistically meaningful association between e-wallet usage and consumptive lifestyle; respondents who transact more often via e-wallets tend to report stronger preferences for instant gratification, hedonic purchases, and impulse buying. Convenience features (e.g., stored cards, fast checkout) and promotional exposure (e.g., limited-time deals) emerged as salient correlates of the relationship. The findings add contextual evidence from Indonesia’s digital economy and suggest practical implications for users, platforms, and educators. Financial-wellbeing interventions such as digital budgeting tips, in-app nudges, spend limits, or post-purchase reflections may help align seamless payments with healthier consumption decisions. Future work can test causal mechanisms and evaluate design features that encourage prudent, goal-consistent spending without diminishing user experience.

Consumptive behavior among college students has increased along with the development of social media that plays a role in shaping modern lifestyles. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Instagram social media use and hedonistic lifestyle on the consumptive behavior of female students in the Culinary Arts Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Medan. The study used a quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis methods. Data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 52 respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. The results showed that Instagram social media use had a significant effect on consumptive behavior with a significance value of 0.049, while hedonistic lifestyle had a more dominant effect with a significance value of 0.000. Simultaneously, both variables had a positive and significant effect on consumptive behavior with an R² value of 0.418, meaning that 41.8% of the variation in consumptive behavior was explained by these two variables. Based on these results, it was concluded that the higher the use of Instagram social media and hedonistic lifestyle, the greater the tendency of students to behave consumptively.

Advancements in modern technology have reshaped people’s lifestyles, including how individuals carry out their daily activities. These changes have influenced individuals to make less realistic decisions in an effort to align themselves with their desired lifestyle. This study aims to examine whether college students with certain lifestyle tendencies are more likely to engage in impulsive buying when shopping online. The study involved 392 college students residing in Surabaya, East Java, selected through a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Google Form–based questionnaire containing measurement instruments developed by the researcher: (1) the Impulsive Buying Scale (15 items; α = 0.858) and (2) the Lifestyle Scale (22 items; α = 0.898). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data.The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between lifestyle and impulsive buying. The strongeran individual’s consumerist lifestyle tendency, the more likely they are to make impulsive purchases.  

The development of the automotive industry, especially automatic motorcycles in Indonesia, is increasingly rapid and triggers fierce competition between manufacturers, including Piaggio with the Vespa Matic LX product which has a unique design, elegant image, and different characteristics from other automatic motorcycles. This study aims to analyze the influence of price perception, promotion, product quality, lifestyle, and brand image on the interest in buying Vespa Matic LX in people in Tegal City. The research approach uses quantitative methods with survey techniques. The study population is the people of Tegal City who use or own a Vespa Matic LX, and because the population is unknown, the sample determination uses the Lemeshow formula so that 100 respondents were obtained. Data analysis included instrument tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regressions with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The results showed that all variables—price perception, promotion, product quality, lifestyle, and brand image—had a positive and significant effect on purchase interest. These findings confirm that the management of the right marketing strategy in terms of price, promotion, quality, lifestyle, and brand image can increase consumer interest in the Vespa Matic LX. This research provides important implications for companies in formulating marketing strategies that are more effective and oriented to consumer needs.

Hypertension remains a major health problem with high prevalence, often linked to poor lifestyle habits and low self-efficacy in managing one’s health. Effective hypertension management requires not only support from health professionals but also encouragement from family members who can remind patients to adhere to treatment and provide emotional support. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy, lifestyle, and family support with hypertension among Prolanis members in the working area of Puskesmas Oesapa, Kupang City. Using an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design, the study involved 65 hypertensive Prolanis members selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The findings showed significant relationships between self-efficacy, physical activity, and diet with hypertension status (p-value = 0.000). However, resting habits were not significantly associated with hypertension (p-value = 0.063), and family support also showed no significant relationship (p-value = 0.388). The study recommends that the Puskesmas continue to strengthen Prolanis activities and enhance health education, particularly regarding the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper dietary management and regular light physical activity tailored to the abilities of Prolanis members.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This condition includes several types, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, experiences impaired insulin function, or faces a combination of both. As a result, glucose cannot be effectively absorbed by the body’s cells and accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. If this condition persists, the buildup of glucose can cause various disorders in different organs. Without proper management, diabetes may lead to severe and life-threatening complications. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and even failure of vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. In this activity, percentage-based methods and demonstrations of blood glucose testing were used as educational tools for students. The results showed that students’ awareness of the dangers of elevated blood sugar levels remains low. Many of them are still unfamiliar with the importance of regular blood glucose monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent diabetes. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to provide education and outreach on the prevention and early management of diabetes mellitus.
