The objective of this research is the adaptation and validation of the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire in young Spanish population, in a differentiated way in girls and boys. Validation study carried out with 827 students enrolled at the University of Jaén, Spain. The reliability of the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire for the young population (PLQ-Young) was analyzed with the analysis of the items using Pearson coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the internal consistency by means of Cronbach's alpha of the total scale for boys and girls, and test-retest stability with the ICC. Construct validity was performed with the exploratory factor analysis and the known-groups technique. Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency was 0.691 for boys and 0.606 for girls. The ICC for test-retest stability was 0.823 for girls and 0.956 for boys. The exploratory factor analysis revealed 5 factors. Statistically significant associations have been found in PLQ scores between SOC subgroups (high and low SOC) in both boys and girls. In conclusion, the present study can be used in research aimed at identifying behaviors related to the health of young people and also to determine a score related to the level of healthy lifestyle.Downloads
