This cross-sectional study aimed to explore health behaviors in a sample of university students, identify patterns of HB, and examine the association between these patterns and mental health outcomes. The sample consisted of 1085 university students enrolled at a private higher-education institution. Participants were predominantly female (83.4%), with a mean age of 22.74 years (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">SD<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 7.03). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was employed to identify distinct classes of HB. Three classes were identified: Class 1, labelled as the Unhealthy habits - high-stress profile (15.7%); Class 2, labelled as the Healthy\/Low-risk group (68%); and Class 3, labelled as the Unhealthy habits - substance-use profile (16.3%). Significant differences in mental health outcomes were observed, with the Unhealthy habits - high stress profile displaying significantly worse mental health compared to the Healthy\/Unhealthy habits - substance use profile. These findings reinforce the idea that HB do not operate in isolation but are interdependent components of a broader lifestyle pattern. The findings may inform the development of targeted interventions to promote healthier lifestyle patterns and support mental health among university students, particularly for the Unhealthy habits - high stress profile in the student population.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941261473839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T05:13:08Z","timestamp":1785301988000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Health Risk Behaviors Among University Students: A Latent Class Analysis and its Association With Mental Health"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7865-2445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e2nia","family":"Brand\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8163-1095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Jo\u00e3o","family":"Gouveia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"APPsyCI - Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities and Inclusion, Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio, Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3129-262X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Dias Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"APPsyCI - Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities and Inclusion, Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio, Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6568-6343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Queir\u00f3s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"APPsyCI - Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities and Inclusion, Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio, Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4285-1703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipe","family":"Loureiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio"},{"name":"APPsyCI - Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities and Inclusion, Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio, Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4037-5996","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa","family":"Almeida Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"APPsyCI - Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities and Inclusion, Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio, Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5347-8978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Cristina","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Ispa \u2013 Instituto Universit\u00e1rio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Belo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Ispa \u2013 Instituto Universit\u00e1rio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soraia","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Ispa \u2013 Instituto Universit\u00e1rio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4875-9118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Vargas-Moniz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"APPsyCI - Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities and Inclusion, Ispa-Instituto Universit\u00e1rio, Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-024-20858-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0954422424000088"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_6_4_1","first-page":"e10028","article-title":"Un an\u00e1lisis de clases latentes de m\u00faltiples conductas de riesgo para la salud entre estudiantes universitarios portugueses [A latent class analysis of multiple health-risk behaviors among Portuguese university students]","volume":"11","author":"Alves R.","year":"2024","unstructured":"Alves R.
