dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the study is to analyze if sense of control (SOC) is associated with body mass index (BMI), having a PCP, exercise behavior and a routine health check-up. Using the NTHHS' (North Texas Healthly Heart I Study) questionnaire, numerous models were run using both linear and logistical regressions to analyze the relationship between SOC, BMI, PCP, exercise behavior, and having a routine check-up as well as if PCP modifies these relationships. SOC was associated with exercise behavior but not BMI, PCP or having a routine check-up. PCP did not modify the associations. SOC can help PCP's identify individuals who engage in exercise behavior.
