However, there remains a significant gap in studies specifically addressing the eHL needs of patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to explore the latent categories of eHL among MHD patients and its impact on health-promoting lifestyle (HPL).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A survey was conducted using a convenience sampling method involving 500 MHD patients from three tertiary hospitals in Baoding.

MHD Patients in the high literacy group scored significantly higher in all dimensions of e-HL and overall HPL (119.58\u202f\u00b1\u202f13.86) compared to those in the low literacy group (91.82\u202f\u00b1\u202f11.73) (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;\u202f0.001).
