Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between lifestyle and behavior, nutritional status, depression symptoms, and academic achievement of junior and senior high school students in selected secondary schools in the Division of Malaybalay City. The descriptive-correlational research design was employed. Data were gathered from 580 students chosen using total random sampling and were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency counts and percentage, Pearson-product moment correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that in lifestyle and behavior, students’ physical activity involved 3 to 4 times of physical exercise per week. Their sleep patterns showed that they felt sleepy only 1 to 2 times weekly during their activities. Their screen time usage averaged 2 to 3 hours for different electronics, with mobile phones or smartphones more often used at over 3 hours. Moreover, the students’ nutritional status through their dietary behavior in terms of food choice revealed that they often put importance on choosing their foods. The diversity of their daily diet included vegetables, starches (e.g., rice and rice products) and meat/fish often, and fruits, milk, fats, sugar and beverage occasionally. The students’ anthropometric measurements had an average weight of 95.90 lbs. and an average height of 178.65 cm. The depression symptoms experienced by the students were borderline to moderate depression levels. The study also found that the students’ academic achievement was very satisfactory. Furthermore, correlation and regression analyses showed that the variables, sleep patterns and depression symptoms, negatively and significantly impact students’ academic achievement. Therefore, less frequency of daytime sleepiness and fewer depression symptoms could increase academic performance. Hence, these findings have implications for students’ academic success and well-being, especially in improving their sleep quality and supporting effective interventions for depression.

生活方式和行为、营养状况以及抑郁症状与初高中学生学业成绩的关系
本研究调查了马来巴雷市部分中学的初中生和高中生的生活方式和行为、营养状况、抑郁症状和学业成绩之间的关系。研究采用了描述性相关研究设计。数据收集自采用完全随机抽样方法选出的 580 名学生,并使用平均值、频率计数和百分比等描述性统计、皮尔森-产品矩相关和多元线性回归等方法进行分析。研究结果显示,在生活方式和行为方面,学生的体育锻炼次数为每周 3 至 4 次。他们的睡眠模式显示,每周只有 1 至 2 次在活动中感到困倦。他们使用不同电子产品的屏幕时间平均为 2 至 3 小时,使用手机或智能手机的时间更长,超过 3 小时。他们日常饮食的多样性包括经常食用蔬菜、淀粉(如米饭和米制品)和肉类/鱼类,偶尔食用水果、牛奶、脂肪、糖和饮料。从学生的人体测量数据来看,他们的平均体重为 95.90 磅,平均身高为 178.65 厘米。学生的抑郁症状为边缘抑郁到中度抑郁。研究还发现,学生的学习成绩非常令人满意。此外,相关分析和回归分析表明,睡眠模式和抑郁症状这两个变量对学生的学业成绩有显著的负面影响。因此,减少白天嗜睡的频率和抑郁症状可以提高学习成绩。因此,这些研究结果对学生的学业成功和福祉具有重要意义,特别是在改善他们的睡眠质量和支持对抑郁症的有效干预方面。 关键词:生活方式和行为、营养状况、抑郁症状、学业成绩
