Abstract
Health promotion for the older adult is of critical concern for nursing. Health promotion activities may help this group maintain their health, experience optimal functional capacity, remain independent, and lower medical costs. Limited and conflicting information on health promotion activities and factors that influence these behaviors is available in this population. The purpose of this study was to identify determinants of a health-promoting lifestyle in an older adult population by examining components of the Health Promotion Model. The study also used structural equation modeling to examine the psychometric properties of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLPII) in older adults. A survey design was used to gather data.
