The participants are undergraduate students who are over 20 years old and recruited from an university located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. 246 effective data were collected via self-administered questionnaires, including students from 5 different colleges in this university. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. The majority of students were females over 20 years old without religious belief, and most of them enrolled in the College of Management while living in the school dormitory without a part-time job. 2. The highest Optimal Living Profile for the students was the emotional wellness, followed by intellectual wellness, spiritual wellness, environmental wellness, social wellness, and physical wellness. 3. The research objective of both intention and self-confidence to improve the health were positively correlated with Optimal Living Profile ( r = 0.22~0.46, p < .01). The background variable, health improve intention and health improve self-confidence can effectively predict the Optimal Living Profile and explain 15.0% to 36.8% of the total variance. Based on the above results, it is recommended that universities, families and individuals can encourage students to participate in different types of health promotion activities through peer and can design multiple innovative activities for students to choose.
