Objectives: This study examined the health behavior and health-related quality of life of unmarried males and females in one-person households, using the dataset of the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey(KNHANES, 2016∼2019). There were 456 subjects. Methods: A multiple regression model was used to analyze the data. Results: A negative relationship was found between age, (b=-0.018, p=0.003) and health-related quality of life, a negative relationship between low weight and obesity prevalence (b=-0.024, p=0.029), negative depression (b=-0.028, p<0.001), positive occupation status (b=0.023, p<0.001), and a positive relationship between neutral and perceived health state(b=0.014, p=0.029), and health-related quality of life. Conclusions: This study suggests that perceived health status an important factor for health behavior and health-related quality of life of one-person households of unmarried males and females. The findings of this study will be helpful to policymakers in designing plans to increase health behavior and health-related quality of life among such households.
