Health behaviours in patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis following hip or knee arthroplasty: latent profile analysis and influencing factors based on a cross-sectional study in Urumqi, China

Three latent health behaviour subgroups, namely low, moderate and good, were identified among patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis following hip or knee arthroplasty. Self-rated abilities for health practices, health behaviour motivation and social support were associated with these subgroups. These findings may provide preliminary insights for developing targeted interventions to support health behaviour improvement in this patient population.
