Data were analyzed by t-test and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The mean score for overall HPLP-II (158.30 ± 19.38) indicated the acceptable level of performing HPBs in Isfahan. Physical activity got the lowest score (16.36 ± 5.13), and the highest score was for interpersonal relations (53.16 ± 5.59). There were significant differences on physical activity and interpersonal relation dimensions between males and females (P < 0.05). The mean score of physical activity was highest in single participants (P < 0.05). Mean score of physical activity for people with college education was greater than others (P < 0.05). Overall HPLP-II and its domains mean scores for people that received education about prevention of cardiovascular disease were greater than others (P < 0.05).
