Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of clinical indicators and etiological factors associated with the nursing diagnosis of excessive sedentary behavior among university students.
Method: This study employed a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy design. The sample comprised 108 students from a Brazilian public university.
Background: Evidence indicates that criminal behaviour in youth is linked with a range of negative physical, mental, and social health consequences. Despite a global decrease over the last 30 years, youth crime remains prevalent. Identifying and mapping the most robust risk and protective factors, and intervention strategies for youth crime could offer important keys for predicting future offense outcomes and assist in developing effective preventive and early intervention strategies.

Method: A diagnostic accuracy study with a cross-sectional design was conducted with 108 university students. A latent class analysis model with random effects was used to establish sensitivity and specificity measures of clinical indicators, estimate the prevalence of the diagnosis, and calculate posterior probabilities for the diagnosis.
