The Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire is a generic instrument developed in 1984, by Wilson and Ciliska of the Department of Family Medicine at the McMaster University in Canada, aimed at helping physicians who deal with disease prevention to know and assess their patients' lifestyles.

The form used in this study is the one suggested in 1998 by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology and constitutes part of the standardized battery of tests known as the Canadian Physical Activity Fitness & Lifestyle Appraisal. The questionnaire covers a wide range of issues that have a subtle but powerful influence on health. The lifestyle survey supplements the assessment of health-related physical fitness and allows a more comprehensive view of the individual.

The acronym FANTASTIC represents the first letters of the nine domains (in English) in which the 25 questions or items are distributed:

F= Family and Friends A= Activity (Physical activity) N= Nutrition T= Tobacco & Toxics A= Alcohol Intake S= Sleep, Seatbelts, Stress, and Safe sex T= Type of behavior (Type A or Type B behavior pattern) I= Insight C= Career (Work, satisfaction with profession)

The Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire is a self-administered instrument that addresses the behavior of individuals during the preceding month. Its results allow the determination of the association between lifestyle and health. The instrument has 25 questions across the 9 following domains: 1) family and friends, 2) physical activity, 3) nutrition, 4) tobacco and toxics, 5) alcohol intake, 6) sleep, seat belt, stress, and safe sex, 7) behavior patterns, 8) insight, and 9) career.

The questions are distributed on a Likert scale; 23 of them have multiple-choice questions (five answers) and two are dichotomous. The alternatives are presented in columns in order to facilitate coding; the left-hand column is always the one with the lowest value or that bears the least relationship with a healthy lifestyle. Questions are coded by points as follows: zero for the first column, 1 for the second, 2 for the third, 3 for the fourth, and 4 for the fifth column. For questions with just two alternative answers, the score is zero for the first column and 4 points for the last column.

The sum of all points yields a total score that classifies individuals in five categories, as follows: "Excellent" (85 to 100 points), "Very good" (70 to 84 points), "Good" (55 to 69 points), "Regular" (35 to 54 points), and "Needing improvement" (0 to 34 points).

It is desirable that individuals completing the questionnaire be classified as "Good." The lower the score, the greater the need for change. Generally speaking, results can be interpreted as follows: "Excellent" indicates that the individual's lifestyle represents an optimal influence for health; "Very good" indicates that the lifestyle represents an adequate influence for health; "Good" indicates that the lifestyle represents many benefits for health; "Regular" indicates that the lifestyle represents some benefit for health, although it also poses risks; "Needing improvement" indicates that the individual's lifestyle poses many risk factors.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a good tool to use too.

I always rely on the WHO Stepwise Instrument

Thiago Artioli is there any research paper that has been done by using fantastic lifestyle questionnaire.. can you provide the link of related research paper here

The assessment of lifestyle in migraine is really complicated and differs among studies. We prefer the IPAQ questionnaire, which measures the Physical Activity (PA) levels, the monthly frequency of food-intake for eating habits and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) investigating sleep disorders.
