Figure 1

Relationships between categories of identified facilitators and barriers to the maintenance of changed lifestyle behaviours. Green boxes represent categories in which 60% or more factors were facilitative. Red represents categories which 60% or more factors were barriers. Orange represents categories with a relatively balanced mix of barriers and facilitators. Unidirectional arrows indicate that factors in one category related to another (e.g. thinking about the future was related to beliefs about the benefits of healthy lifestyles). Bidirectional arrows indicate that factors in both categories made links with each other.
