Health-promoting lifestyle as a predictor of well-being in Honduran university students: a structural equation modeling approach with mental health and sleep quality as mediators
The findings support an integrative model in which a health-promoting lifestyle explains student well-being, highlighting depression and sleep quality as key pathways of influence. These results broaden the understanding of well-being from a multidimensional perspective and provide actionable evidence for designing institutional policies and intervention strategies that promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and well-being, particularly in Latin American settings.
