Background: The prevalence of stress-related health issues is becoming increasingly significant. This study aimed to examine the relationships between work stress, home stress, overall stress, and individual behavioral and perceptual characteristics among middle-aged employees in the service sector. Methods: Physical activity, diet, and perceptions were assessed using the WellBeNet application (2.10.2, INRAE, Clermont-Ferrand, France) while perceived stress levels were evaluated through an online questionnaire during a one-week period. The associations between stress levels and individual and behavioral characteristics were examined using multiple linear regressions and analyses of variance. Results: General stress was significantly influenced by both work and home stress. Home stress was positively correlated with the perception of one&rsquo:s silhouette in red, the increasing consumption of dairy products, and the decreasing consumption of vegetables. Work stress was inversely correlated with age and positively correlated with body shape. Conclusions: Our study identified various context markers of stress&mdash:including age, body shape, food intake, and color of the silhouette. These markers could be used in subsequent intervention studies to demonstrate causal links.
