Abstract

Healthy lifestyle is a complete state of mental, physical and social well-being not merely the absence of disease (WHO, 2020). We can also define that a healthy lifestyle comes with the things you do which make you happy and feel good. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge-attitude-practice among TARUC students towards a healthy lifestyle. Participants n = 134 (84 males, 50 females). In this study, participation is aged between 18-24 years old. The mean for practice and knowledge were 44.27% and 49.85% was found strongly positively r = 0.01 with a significant correlation at p = 0.022. The mean score between knowledge and attitude was found no significance correlation r = 0.851 (p = 0.086). Correlation between attitude and practice was found strongly positively r = 0.03 with significance at p = 0.01. There were no statistically significant differences between male and female in Knowledge-Attitude-Practice towards healthy lifestyle based on genders with knowledge at p = 0.374, attitude at p = 0.29, practice at p = 0.18. Knowledge of the person did not affect the person attitude towards healthy lifestyle. It is because the student’s behaviour makes an important factor in practice healthy lifestyle. Although the student has knowledge in promoting healthy lifestyle, but the friend’s habits will affect the student’s attitude to promote healthy lifestyle. In conclusion, it is essential for the university students to improve their attitude towards healthy lifestyle in order to live healthier
