Abstract: This study explored the predictability of quality of life (QoL) based on mental well-being, lifestyle (physical activity and smoking behavior), and genomics health-related literacy among 349 individuals with non-communicable diseases in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, in early 2024. Using a descriptive, correlational (predictive) design, data were collected via the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, Lifestyle Questionnaire (DLBQ), Genomic Health-Related Literacy Questionnaire (UNC-GKS), and WHOQOL-BREF. Findings revealed moderate levels of mental well-being, physical activity, smoking behavior, genomics literacy, and overall QoL. Correlation analyses showed that mental well-being was significantly associated with physical activity, while smoking behavior and genomics literacy were correlated with QoL. However, mental well-being did not predict QoL, which was instead predicted by lifestyle factors and genomics health literacy. These findings informed the development of a theoretical framework and enhancement plan to improve QoL in this population.
