Chi-square test and structural equation modelling were performed. Results showed that depression and anxiety were negatively associated with being in the action stages of motivational readiness for a healthy diet and physical activity. This association was statistically significant only for motivational readiness for a healthy diet and depression ([Formula: see text]). Furthermore, women and workers were more likely to be in the action stages of motivational readiness for a healthy diet while older adults and adults with higher health-related quality of life were more likely to be in the action stages of motivational readiness for physical activity. The present study suggests that structural (being older, being a woman and being employed) and intermediary (suffering from depression and higher health-related quality of life) determinants of health influence motivational readiness for health behaviour changes.2024http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13557310.1177/13591053241241015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/135573oai:zaguan.unizar.es:135573info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/FIS/PI15-00114info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-MINECO/PI15/00762info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-MINECO/PI15/00896iinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-RedIAPP/RD16-0007-0009info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD12-0005-0001info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0001info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0002info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0003info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0004info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0005info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0006info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0008info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0009info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0010info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0012info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0013info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/RETICS-RD16-0007-0015info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ISCIII/PI15-00519info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ISCIII/PI15-00565info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ISCIII/PI15-01133info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ISCIII/PI15-01151info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ISCIII/PI15-01412JOURNAL OF HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY 30, 3 (2024), [39 pp.]All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
