Purpose: This study investigated the current status and relationship of HL, SE, and SWL of college students in Macao. Methods: A total of 553 valid samples aged 18 to 25 (M=20.4 ±1.16) were collected by stratified and convenient sampling methods in Macao. Three measurement tools included HLS-EU-Q (α = .94), GSES (α = .87), and SWLS (α=.89) were verified validity and reliability. Data were analyzed by SPSS 24.0 with the methods of t-test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation and regression analysis. Result: Overall, the key findings include (1) college students in Macao respectively met a medium level of HL (M=3.6, SD=0.53), SE (M=6.7, SD=1.3), and SWL (M=6.2, SD=1.8). (2) there is a significant difference among various background variables (gender, region, and living environment), (3) there is a positive relationship among HL, SE, and SWL, HL, and SE had a 34.1% explanation on SWL (R²=.341, β=.717, p<0.001). Conclusions: The result is in agreement with other health-related studies. The findings suggested that the higher HL, the higher SWL.
