Abstract

This study dealt with the influence of personal hygiene practices and food sanitation awareness on students’ health. The primary goal of this study was to examine the level of personal hygiene practices, food sanitation awareness, and students’ health in terms of their respective indicators and to find out the significant relationship between personal hygiene practices and students’ health as well as the relationship between food sanitation awareness and students’ health and identify which domains of personal hygiene practices and food sanitation awareness significantly influence students’ health. A quantitative-correlational design was used in this study, which involved 270 respondents from different sections of senior high school. The statistical methods employed in this study were the average weighted mean, spearman’s rho, and multiple regression analysis. The findings of the study revealed that the three variables obtained a very high level. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between personal hygiene practices and students’ health, as well as food sanitation awareness and students’ health. Further, oral hygiene and food sanitation practices significantly influenced students’ health. In conclusion, personal hygiene practices and food sanitation were vital in promoting students’ health.
