The 132 participants included working-age people living in Nong Prue subdistrict, Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan Province between March 1 and May 31, 2021. The research instruments included a demographic data questionnaire, a health-promoting behavior questionnaire, and a factors-related to health-promoting behavior questionnaire-- which was modified by the researcher from Pender’s health promotion model. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation statistics were used to analyze the data.</p><p>The results of the study revealed that the sample group had overall health-promoting behavior at a moderate level ( <img title="\small \bar{x}" src="https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\fn_cm&amp;space;\small&amp;space;\bar{x}"> = 1.49, SD = 0.30). When considering each aspect, it was found found that health- promoting behavior in nutrition and physical activity were at moderate level as well (<img title="\small \bar{x}" src="https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\fn_cm&amp;space;\small&amp;space;\bar{x}"> &nbsp;= 1.78, SD = 0.43, <img title="\small \bar{x}" src="https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\fn_cm&amp;space;\small&amp;space;\bar{x}"> &nbsp;&nbsp;= 1.20, SD = 0.51, respectively). Perceived benefits of action and perceived self-efficacy had a positive correlation with health-promoting behavior (r = .567, r = .451, p = &lt;.01, respectively), perceived barriers to action had a negative correlation with health-promoting behavior, (r = .461, p = &lt;.01, respectively), but no correlation was found between interpersonal influence and health-promoting behavior.</p><p>The findings from this study can be used as baseline data to design activities or programs for enhancement health-promoting behavior in working-age people.</p> ER -
