Health behaviors were assessed using the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI), and life satisfaction was assessed using the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Group differences were examined using the Mann\u2013Whitney U and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests, associations using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, and multivariable linear regression models were fitted for the SWLS and total HBI scores with adjustment for age, sex, and type of vocal work. The Holm procedure was applied to account for multiple comparisons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      An average level of health behaviors was most common (42.7%), followed by low (32.4%) and high (24.9%) levels, and 55.2% of participants were classified in one of the satisfied-with-life categories. Life satisfaction was positively associated with the total HBI score (\u03c1 = 0.508, 95% CI: 0.406\u20130.599; Holm-adjusted\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001) and all four HBI domains (all adjusted\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001), with the strongest association observed for positive mental attitude (\u03c1 = 0.528, 95% CI: 0.429\u20130.616). After correction for multiple comparisons, women had higher scores than men for proper eating habits, health practices, and the total HBI score. In the multivariable analysis, sex was associated with the total HBI score, with women scoring 6.26 points higher than men after adjustment for age and type of vocal work (B = 6.257, 95% CI: 3.270\u20139.245;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001).
