Found that the aspect that has the highest mean of health behavior is Food consumption The practice of treatment Stress management And the exercise and rest area Was at a medium level ( = 2.86, S.D. = 0.34, = 2.80, S.D. = 0.55, = 2.46, S.D. = 0.45 and = 2.01, S.D. = 0.46 respectively). The aspect with the least mean health behavior was Sexual relations were at a low level ( = 1.56, S.D. = 1.15).

And income correlated negatively with health behaviors of the samples with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = - .147, p = .050 and r = - .146, p = .050 respectively). Gender, age, and heredity do not correlate with the health behavior of the samples with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = - .136, p = .066 and r = - .016, p = .0429 and r = - .064. , p = 239 respectively)
