Students’ Lifestyle and Academic Performance

The lifestyle of students plays a crucial role in achieving academic success, with particular emphasis on the impact of family and peer relationships, health practices, and study habits. This study sought to determine the students’ quality of lifestyle, academic performance, and the significant relationship between the students’ lifestyle and academic performance among the three (3) schools of West II District, Division of Cagayan de Oro City, School Year 2023-2024. There was a total of two hundred eighty-one (281) Grade 10 students’ participants through a stratified random sampling method. This study applied a researcher-developed questionnaire that utilized the Mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) to determine the significant association between students' lifestyles and academic achievement. The study revealed that the respondents possess a commendable quality of life, particularly in terms of familial and peer relationships. Students' academic performance was deemed very satisfactory, with a high-level interpretation. A weak to moderate positive correlation exists between students' lifestyles and academic achievement. Thus, students need to know the importance of having a better lifestyle not just for their present state but for their future endeavors in life. It is therefore recommended to support students in cultivating a high-quality lifestyle that encompasses building strong interpersonal relationships, maintaining good health, and improving their study techniques to improve academic performance.
