مستخلص: The study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the Fertility Healthy Lifestyle Assessment Scale among the Turkish female/male population. This methodological study was conducted through an online survey with 526 participants (n = 340 women, n = 186 men) using the Google Forms tool between July 2020 and December 2021. The scale development process involved 4 steps: item generation, expert review and content validity, pilot study, and a field study with psychometric testing. The scale consisted of 46 items across seven sub-dimensions (emotional well-being, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, clothing/hygiene, use of technology, and spirituality). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the 7-factor structure of the Fertility Healthy Lifestyle Assessment Scale (factor loadings 0.33–0.99 according to CFA), and the fit indices of the scale (RMSEA = 0.067, GFI = 0.748, CFI = 0.924, IFI = 0.925, NNFI = 0.918 and NFI = 0.868) were found to be adequate. The seven sub-dimensions accounted for 71.25% of the total variance. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.872, indicating strong internal consistency. As a result of the split into two analyses, Cronbach's alpha value of the first half was 0.722 and the value of the second half was 0.780, with a correlation of 0.898 between the two halves. Our findings indicate that the Fertility Healthy Lifestyle Assessment Scale is a valid and reliable measurement for assessing healthy lifestyle habits with the purpose of enhancing fertility in women and men.
