Abstract

This quantitative correlational study explored the interplay between lifestyle practices, rider behavior, and quality of life among 115 food delivery riders in Quezon City, Philippines. Using structured questionnaires, the study revealed generally favorable outcomes across all domains: participants reported consistent meal intake and hydration (M = 4.21), strong adherence to safety behaviors such as helmet use (M = 4.79), and high satisfaction with aspects of their personal and work lives (M = 4.53). Statistically significant correlations were identified—ranging from weak (lifestyle practices and rider behavior, p = 0.005) to moderate (lifestyle practices and quality of life, p < 0.001) and strong (rider behavior and quality of life, p < 0.001)—highlighting how healthier habits and safer driving practices are linked to better well-being. These findings emphasize the need for multi-sectoral efforts to promote health education, road safety, and occupational support for delivery riders.
