摘要

Background

Lifestyle diseases are commonly described as conditions arising from long-term behavioural patterns, occupational exposures, and broader civilisational and environmental determinants. Although the term is frequently used in public health and clinical literature, its conceptual boundaries remain heterogeneous and inconsistently defined. While extensive research exists on individual non-communicable diseases and lifestyle risk factors, no comprehensive scoping review has systematically mapped how “lifestyle diseases” are defined, operationalised, and studied across behavioural, occupational, environmental, and technological domains.

Methods

This protocol outlines a systematic scoping review that aims to map the scientific literature on lifestyle diseases, identify which clinical conditions are labelled as such, examine underlying determinants and contributing factors, describe reported prevention strategies, and identify research gaps in the field. The review will be conducted following the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley, refined by Levac et al., and reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Five electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and APA PsycInfo) will be searched for peer-reviewed literature published from 1990 to the date of search execution. Eligibility criteria will be defined using a structured framework and will include studies that explicitly address or conceptualise lifestyle diseases.

Discussion

Findings will be synthesised descriptively and presented using thematic categorisation, tabular summaries, and graphical visualisations to map disease categories, determinants, preventive approaches, and geographic distribution. This review will provide a structured overview of how lifestyle diseases are defined and studied in the scientific literature. By clarifying conceptual boundaries and identifying research gaps, the review aims to support interdisciplinary research and inform future public health investigations.
