  The precise question in this research is whether perceptions of health are similar across age groups. How do they deal with this phenomenon? Answering this question, Grounded Theory and Semi-Structured Interviewing Technique with 32 Young Adults in Semnan City were used. Findings show lifestyle is a key element in health behavior to the extent that some experts consider the two to be the same. Among young people, more attention is paid to exercise, to body management, to having good limbs and to avoid fatty foods. Adult eating, however, is perceived as a pleasure and people do not avoid foods that are potentially pathogenic. Younger people are therefore more inclined to the paradigm of beautiful and fitted bodies, while older people tend to be more traditional antidotes. "Health behavior" varies between the two age groups. For young people, the body is regarded as a capital, but adults perceive health as an instrument for fulfilling daily life. Manuscript profile
