Purpose: The study sought to verify the mediating effect of exercise performance on the relationship between health interest and dietary habits among nurses and office workers. Methods: The survey was conducted on the above subjects for seven days, from July 29 to August 5, 2024, and 215 responses were analyzed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 for descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, correlation, and reliability, and JASP 0.18.3 for factor analysis and validity. Results: The results showed that health interest had a direct effect on dietary habits, an indirect effect was observed when exercise performance was included. This suggests that health interest not only influences dietary habits directly but also impacts them through exercise performance. However, among the subdomains of health interest, the health practice level did not significantly predict exercise performance, whereas health-related behavior was a significant predictor. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of considering exercise performance as a mediating factor in the relationship between health interest and dietary behaviors. The study provides foundational evidence for designing intervention programs and counseling strategies aimed at improving the health of nurses and office workers, who may be at risk of unhealthy lifestyle patterns. Future research should expand to other occupational groups to further explore the mediating role of exercise performance in shaping dietary habits.
