In India, a growing middle class and rising lifestyle diseases put prevention in the spotlight. This study assesses the impact of health behaviors (tobacco use and exercise) as well as psychological states (positive emotional style, hope, and perceived stress) on the health of 314 middle class participants from Mumbai. Logistic regression predicting objective health revealed that positive emotional style was a protective factor. Linear regression predicting perceived health indicated perceived stress and positive emotional style as the significant factors. An intersectional approach focusing on psychological factors and health behaviors, nested within class and gender, will lead to effective preventive strategies
