THE PROBLEM

INTRODUCTION

It has been demonstrated that having good physical and mental health enhances

quality of life. Not with standing the advantage of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the rate of

obesity has double or tripled over the past 20 years. Notably, the assessment conducted by the

grade 12 students health association in 2009 found that 36.7% of were overweight obese.

According to the standard body mass index. Cut poits for grade 12 students, found that the

overweight/ obesity.

In contrash, a another study found that both male and female students consume

comparable amounts of fruits and Vegetables, but that female students consumed more fafty

meals than male students. Given that stress can influence eating patterns, it is possible that these

variations depends on the individuals perception of their level of stress. For instances stress has

been unked to increased snacking.

A disruption of one’s “physiological homeostasis of psychological well – being” is

what is meant by the terms “stress”. In a cross sectional study of grade 12 students, it was

discovered that more than half of the participants were under some sort of stress, with women

generally reporting higher levels of stress than men, and that stress was linked for choosing less

healthy food, also there is proof that stressed out women turn to very appetizing foods for

solace.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the summaries of literature and studies related to the variables

of the research title. Information from related literature and studies gave an overview of the

study which the researcher was working on. Moreover, the chapter provides the

conceptual/theoretical framework that lead to the formulation of the hypothesis.

RELATED LITERATURE

According to O’Connor, Jones, Conner, McMillan, and Ferguson (2008) and Steptoe,

Lipsey, and Wardle (1998), stress-induced changes in habitual health behaviors, such as food

choice and eating behavior, may be particularly significant in understanding the risk of physical

disease. High levels of stress may increase (e.g., consumption of saturated fats) or decrease

(e.g., consumption of total calories) food intake, according to research (Wardle, Steptoe, Oliver,

& Lipsey, 2000). Several studies have discovered stress.

RELATED STUDIES

In this study it has been demonstrated that a having good Physical and mental health

enhances quality of life, not with standing the advantage of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the

rate of obesity has double or tripled over the past 20 years. Notably, 36.7% of grade 12 students

were overweight obese.

In contrash, a another study found that both male and female students consume

comparable amounts of fruits vegetables, but that female students consumed more fatty meals
 ALABAT ISLAND NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

than male students. Given that stress can influence eating patterns, it is possible that these

variations depend on the individuals perception of their level of stress. For instances, stress has

been unked to increased snacking.

According to the standard body mass index cut points for grade 12 students, as found that

the overweight/obesity rates in grade 12 students males (38.4%) were higher than those grade

11students males (35.5%) and females in grade 12 students (27.8%) and grade 11 students

females is (18.6%).

A disruption of one’s “ physiological homeostasis of psychological well – being” is what

is meant by the term “ stress”. In a cross sectional study of grade 12 students at an ALABAT

ISLAND NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (AINHS), it was discovered that more than half of the

participants were under some sort of stress, with women generally reporting higher levels of

stress than men, and that stress was linked to choosing less healthy food, also , there froof that

stressed out women turn to very appetizing foods for solace.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Some of the students of grade 12 students experience stress because of having stress

they feel various emotions that do not become easy for the students, most of the reason of my

students why they experience stress is the sometimes lack in the budget for their activities, but

despite their lack of budget and when they experience stress they still continue to study for their

dreams by joining what activities in school Is Their only way to increase their grades that they

eat properly also helps them to fight stress, eating at the right time, health foods that they should
 ALABAT ISLAND NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

eat, despite that many students have said that until now, more students experiencing stress that

also affects their studies.

significant difference of impact of stress and eating behavior among grade 12 students. The

researchers’ used descriptive type of quantitative research because this study is a non-

experimental and does not require for any type of pre-test, post-test or control group design

which an experimental usually used.

School S.Y. 2022 – 2023 the grade 12 students consist of eleven (11) section with the

total population of four – hundred and sixty eight (468). Therefore to get the total

number of respondents in every section we will get a 15 people using fishbowl

technique. To avoid being biased . Out of four – hundred sixty eight (468) grade 12

 ALABAT ISLAND NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

the questionnaire to the respondents. After the administration of the questionnaires the

information that our respondent have filled will treated with confidentiallity and only

use for research

STATISTICAL TREATMENT

The researcher use the weighted mean as the statistical treatment to know the request of

the study and eating behavior among grade 12 students of ALABAT ISLAND NATIONAL

HIGH , Quezon S.Y. 2022-2023

This is the formula to get the weighted mean:

WM = Σ(WX)

Where

W= weight of each item or value

X= represent each of the item or values

N= total number of the students
