Aims: With the onset of the modern era and the formation of a consumerist culture, various types of lifestyles stemming from the development of a consumerist spirit embodied modern human life. According to Giddens, as religion and social identity become more and more weakened, the body and consumer goods become more and more important in identifying individuals.

Data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire on consumer lifestyle based on four components of leisure, body management, nutrition and shopping patterns in both traditional and modern dimensions. The other part of the questionnaire was based on personal and contextual information and social class information (socio-economic database).
