Although food related lifestyle has been widely discussed over the last ten years, the majority of research on food related lifestyle has been only conducted in terms of a variable-centered approach. But, recently there is a growing body of research on food related lifestyle profiles over the last three years from the view of a person-centered approach. This study conducted both a cluster analysis and a latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify the patterns of potential food related lifestyle customer profiles based on the five components on the sample of customer, who bought organic products (n=509). The results of each statistical analysis showed both quantitatively and qualitatively different types of food related lifestyle customer profiles even though there were similar types of profiles identified in common between these two analyses.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of lifestyle on the perceived value of children in university students. Questionnaires were distributed to 467 university students with questions covering topics including general personal information and characteristics, lifestyle type, and value of children. First, a cluster analysis based on lifestyle showed that the subjects could be categorized into three groups: negative-leisure types, active-achievement types, and affirmative-fidelity types. The negative-leisure type was highly leisure-oriented and showed a negative self-value; the active-achievement type showed a perspective that valued personal and occupational self-development and a high level of labor-oriented value; and the affirmative-fidelity type favored materialism, seeking occupational aptitude and worth and showing a positive self-value. Second, an investigation of the impact of these three lifestyle types on the students' value of children revealed that the active-achievement type group had high level of belief in the necessity of childbirth, the affirmative-fidelity type group highly valued fulfilling an active parent role, and the active-achievement type group were inclined to delay childbirth. Further, the negative-leisure type group wanted the lowest number of children, while the affirmative-fidelity type group wanted the highest number of children. This study reveals that university students' lifestyle does have an effect on their value of children. It is therefore proposed that a value-focused population education for increasing fertility should relate not only to individuals' value of children but also to their broader lifestyle.
