Nowadays the increasing awareness concerning health and living health has caught the attention of many Dutch women. Although health has been already an important aspect of live for many years, it seems that within the current Dutch society new developments concerning this health awareness arise. Where health still a few years ago was placed in a healthcare domain or medical world context, it can be argued that nowadays aspects of health become more and more drawn into the leisure domain. It can be argued this development has partly changed the way in which professionals within the medical world are respected nowadays. The increased use of the online environment enables people to search for health-related information by themselves. Besides the increased use of the online environment and the growing health concern another trend can be recognized and hold responsible for the fact that health becomes more integrated within the leisure domain, the DIY-phenomenon. Together with the increased use of the online environment and the growing health concern, this DIY-phenomenon constitutes a relatively new kind of lifestyle, the DIY-health lifestyle. The main question is: “How do Dutch women with a DIY-health lifestyle integrate this lifestyle in their leisure time and how does this lifestyle influence their perceptions of leisure and health?”
