This cross-sectional study assessed the health profile of teaching and non-teaching personnel of the Schools Division Office of Pampanga. It examined reported health conditions and behaviors, blood pressure, body mass index, fasting blood sugar, and lipid levels among 200 personnel during one assessment period. Questionnaire, physical measurement, and laboratory data were analyzed using Jamovi. The findings showed group differences in blood pressure and selected lipid indicators, while body mass index and fasting blood sugar showed no clear differences. Reported physical activity had weak associations with measured indicators, whereas reported hypertension and diabetes corresponded with their respective measurements. The approach demonstrates how combined health data can inform confidential follow-up and workplace health planning
