Participants completed questionnaires on coping styles with stress and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ALP‐R2);.

The difference in coping styles insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(pray, hobbies and exercise etc.); with stress of two group was determined insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<.000);. According to multiple linear regression analysis, independent variables explained 27% of the change in adolescent lifestyle profile in adolescents with HL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2=.273);. BMI insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β=-.258);, economic status insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β=-.439);, and mother education level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β=.146); were significant predictors affecting lifestyle profile in adolescents with HL.
