Although the role of personal aptitudes (characteristics of each individual) in influencing health behaviours is not yet clear, these factors, in conjunction with social determinants such as gender and social class, can create axes of social inequity that affect individuals’ opportunities to engage in health-oriented behaviours. Additionally, lack of access to health-related resources and opportunities can further exacerbate the issue for individuals with healthy personal aptitudes. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the relationship between personal aptitudes and health behaviours, as well as their impact on health equity.ObjectivesThis paper outlines the development, design and rationale of a descriptive qualitative study that explores in a novel way the views and experiences on the relationship between personal aptitudes (activation, health literacy and personality traits) and their perception of health, health-oriented behaviours, quality of life and current health status.Method and analysisThis qualitative research is carried out from a phenomenological perspective. Participants will be between 35 and 74 years of age, will be recruited in Primary Health Care Centres throughout Spain from a more extensive study called DESVELA Cohort. Theoretical sampling will be carried out. Data will be collected through video and audio recording of 16 focus groups in total, which are planned to be held in 8 different Autonomous Communities, and finally transcribed for a triangulated thematic analysis supported by the Atlas-ti program.DiscussionWe consider it essential to understand the interaction between health-related behaviours as predictors of lifestyles in the population, so this study will delve into a subset of issues related to personality traits, activation and health literacy.Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04386135. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-00115 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-00147 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-00434 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-00997 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-01076 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-01285 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-01314 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-01459 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 3.0 2023 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 115 / 408 = 0.282 2023 Q2 T1 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 115 / 408 = 0.282 2023 Q2 T1 0.895 2023 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2023 Q1 4.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Berenguera, Anna Jacques-Aviñó, Constanza Gil-Girbau, Montserrat Arroyo-Uriarte, Paula Chela-Alvarez, Xenia Ripoll, Joana Martí-Lluch, Ruth Ramos, Rafel Elizondo-Alzola, Usue Garcia-Martinez, Sandra Méndez-López, Fátima Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6409-9041 Tamayo-Morales, Olaya Martínez-Andrés, Mária Motrico, Emma Gómez-Gómez, Irene Fernández-Alvarez, Roberto Juvinyà-Canal, Dolors Moreno-Peral, Patricia Conejo-Cerón, Sonia Bellón, Juan Ángel Magallon-Botaya, Rosa Aguilar-Latorre, Alejandra Beltrán-Ruiz, Maria Oliván-Blázquez, Bárbara Dominguez-García, Marta Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8942-814X Rabanaque Hernandez, Maria Isabel Andrés Esteban, Eva María 1006 255 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
