This study aimed to determine the level of work ability index and its relationship with life style in mechanics of thermal power plant. Methods: A total of 60 mechanics from selected thermal power plants were included in this cross-sectional study. Health promoting behaviors were tested by Walker lifestyle promoting questionnaire. Work ability was assessed by work ability index (WAI) and the final score was calculated from answers to its seven dimensions. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21 software. Results: The mean value of work ability index in this study was 34.80 ± 5.76. The WAI categories were 16.66% in "excellent", 36.6% in "good", 30% in "moderate", and 16.66% in "poor" levels. The association between life style factors and WAI was statistically significant (P > 0.05). Lower WAI was associated with increased age, more work experience and lower education (P > 0.05). conclusions: The average of work ability index in mechanics was at the average level. In addition, there was a significant relationship between work ability indexes and life style.
