Impact of inherent aspects of body image, eating behavior and perceived health competence on quality of life of university students - Fig 1

<p><b>Structural models with the hypothetical paths tested for female (A) and male (B) university students.</b> We used adapted versions of instruments (cf. Instruments section). BSQ-8B = Body Shape Questionnaire (reduced version), MBDS-R = Male Body Dissatisfaction Scale (reduced version), PHCS-B = Perceived Health Competence Scale (bifactorial version), TFEQ-18 = Three-factor Eating Questionnaire (reduced version), WHOQoL-bref = World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Short Form (refined version). All the independent variables are correlated.</p
