- Abstract
Lifestyles refer to the habitual behaviors each person presents and characterizes based on their health. However, the psychometric characteristics of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II) are unknown. Objective: To evaluate the dimensionality and reliability of the HPLP-II in Colombian university students. Method: A psychometric study was carried out with the participation of 293 university students over 18 years who completed the HPLP-II. Exploratory factor analysis was performed using the principal components method. Reliability was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: Five factors were identified that explained 63.6% of the variance. The factor coefficients of the items were observed between 0.44 and 0.78. Internal consistency was acceptable per factor, with Cronbach's alpha values between 0.82 and 0.91. Conclusion: The questionnaire's psychometric properties show adequate values in most adjustment indices, but not in all, which is why new applications must be made to confirm the instrument's suitability to measure lifestyles in the Colombian population.
