Psychometric validation and measurement invariance of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II in Honduran university students

This study provides favorable evidence regarding the structural and convergent validity, as well as the reliability, of the scale for assessing health-promoting behaviors among Honduran university students. Measurement invariance up to the scalar level was supported, allowing for comparisons of latent means across subgroups. Finally, the evidence of convergent validity offers empirical support for the association between health-promoting behaviors and quality of life among university students.
