The Influence of Health Awareness, Exercise Frequency, and Dietary Habits on University Students’ Physical Well Being: Application of Ordinary Least Square Estimation

Recently, there has been a growing emphasis on promoting physical well-being through improved health awareness, regular physical activity, and healthier dietary practices. Recognizing the critical association between physical health and academic success, universities have increasingly implemented wellness initiatives to support students' overall well-being. This study aims to examine the influence of exercise frequency, health awareness, and dietary habits on students' physical well-being. A total of 76 participants from a prominent higher education institution in Kelantan were surveyed using self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and independent t-tests. Findings reveal that exercise frequency and dietary habits significantly affect students’ physical well-being, whereas health awareness showed no significant influence. The study offers important insights for higher education administrators and policymakers in developing strategies to foster positive physical well-being among university students.
