Abstract	Objective: Emerging adulthood is characterized by maturation of executive functions (EF) and changes in health behaviors (HB). Interestingly, EF are bi-directionally related to many specific HB; yet how EF performs in relation to overall patterns of HB engagement is unclear. Groupings of HB and the relationship between these HB groupings and EF were examined. Participants: Full-time college students were recruited from three large Mid- and Southwest universities (N = 1,387). Methods: Online self-report questionnaires assessing demographics, HB, and EF were completed. Results: Latent class analysis of HB revealed three classes: (1) "High Substance Use," (2) "Moderately Healthy," (3) "Healthy." In general, the Healthy class had significantly greater EF compared to no significant differences between the other two classes. Conclusions: Collective engagement in HB is associated with EF. Interventions targeting both HB and EF simultaneously may be most efficacious. (As Provided).
