| dc.description.abstract | Introduction and Objective. The primary objective of this study was to validate the Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire – EVS IV using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM). Methodology. A total of 1,668 Portuguese participants (aged 18 to 70 years; M = 39.71, SD = 15.68) took part in the study, comprising 856 men (51.3%) and 812 women (48.7%). Results. The findings confirmed the adequacy of the factorial structure of the Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire – EVS IV (8 factors / 29 items), demonstrating strong psychometric properties and good fit indices: χ² = 253.499, df = 189, p = .001; χ²/df = 1.34; CFI = .97; TLI = .93; RMSEA = .01 (95% CI: .01, .02); SRMR = .02. The instrument evaluates eight distinct dimensions: balanced diet, adherence to meal schedules, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, use of other drugs, rest habits, physical activity habits, and sedentary behavior. Conclusions. The Portuguese version of the Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire – EVS IV shows robust psychometric validity and can be confidently applied to assess healthy lifestyle behaviors. | eng |

Participaron en el estudio un total de 1,668 individuos portugueses de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 70 años (M = 39.71, SD = 15.68), de los cuales 856 eran hombres (51.3%) y 812 mujeres (48.7%). Resultados. Los hallazgos confirmaron la adecuación de la estructura factorial del Cuestionario de Estilos de Vida Saludables – EVS IV (8 factores / 29 ítems), mostrando sólidas propiedades psicométricas e índices de ajuste satisfactorios: χ² = 253.499, df = 189, p = .001; χ²/df = 1.34; CFI = .97; TLI = .93; RMSEA = .01 (IC 95%: .01, .02); SRMR = .02. El instrumento evalúa ocho dimensiones específicas: dieta equilibrada, cumplimiento de los horarios de comida, consumo de tabaco, consumo de alcohol, consumo de otras drogas, hábitos de descanso, hábitos de actividad física y comportamiento sedentario. Conclusiones. La versión portuguesa del Cuestionario de Estilos de Vida Saludables – EVS IV presenta una validez psicométrica sólida y puede utilizarse con plena confianza para la evaluación de conductas relacionadas con un estilo de vida saludable. | spa |
