Considerable research has established that a relationship exists between demographics, emotions, and physical health complaints. Much less is known about the association between demographics, affect, and actual health behaviors, particularly in youngsters. Accordingly, this paper presents findings on the relationship between affect, demographics, and health-related lifestyle among 139 public high school students, a population generally believed to be at high risk for the development of detrimental health habits. Covariation between affect, health practices, and demographics was examined using stepwise multiple regression analyses which revealed distinctive demographic and affective correlates of different health behaviors. The implications of these results are discussed and directions for future research are noted.
