Attitudinal Factors for Personal Health

In this paper, the roles of attitudinal factors and fish were investigated to explore their relationships with the health performance of individuals. Specifically, the variables included were: Health Orientation (HO), Diet Orientation (DO), Life Satisfaction (LS), Attitude toward Fish (ATF), Fish Consumption (FC) Demographic variables and Health Performance (HP). A total of 300 respondents participated in the structured questionnaire survey. The data analyses included multi-item scale reliability, Chi-square, means, t-Test, ANOVA and multiple regression analyses. The influences of the various socio-demographic variables on attitudes and personal health were investigated accordingly. The attitudinal factors (i.e., Attitudes towards Health and Eating, Life Satisfaction and Attitudes towards Fish) had shown significant positive relationships with the personal health performance of individuals. The results suggested that the human factor engineering in biomedical sciences is essential. The attitudinal factors are potential determinants for personal health and should be managed effectively and efficiently.
