In recent years, the long-term maintenance of health behaviors and the long-term effects
of health interventions have attracted increasing attention from researchers. From the psychosocial
perspective, this paper not only systematically sorted out the relevant variables and influencing
mechanisms of health behavior maintenance, but also divided variables into internal factors and external
environmental factors. Hereinto, internal factors include motivation, self-efficacy and self-regulation,
whereas external environment factors include physical environment and social environment factors. On
this basis, a theoretical model about health behavior maintenance was proposed. Finally, it pointed out
the direction of future research on health behavior maintenance.
