Summary: ABSTRACT: This study determined the relationship between health behavior and academic performance of FEU-NRMF Second Year Nursing students for the second semester of S.Y 2006-2007. A total of 196 students from Sections D, E, F and H were selected using stratified random sampling, but only a total of 164 volunteered to participate. Healthy behavior based on Diet, Rest, Physical activity and vices were assessed using a questionnaire adapted from pleasure trap test, and categorized as healthy or unhealthy. Academic performance was assessed using the General Weighted Average, and categorized as either good or fair/poor. Relationship between health behavior and academic performance was determined in the univariate analysis using chi-square test and confounders were controlled using a stratified analysis. Level of significance was set at alpha, a, 0.05. About one-third of the respondents (32.9%) had good academic performance and more than half, 55.5% had a healthy behavior as a whole. The relationship of over all health behavior and academic performance was found to be significant, p-value=0.016. The relationship however was not found to be significant when health behavior, those with healthy behavior had significantly higher proportion of good performance than those with unhealthy behavior, p-value= 0.039, (41.8% vs 16.7%). Among the confounders, the relationship between health behavior and academic performance was statistically significant only in female gender, class attendance (without habit of missing class) and video & computer gaming (above the mean- 6.74 hour/week).
