Purpose : To analyze the effect of knowledge and DHF risk on healthy house conditions as a representation of healthy living behavior in a highland village community. Method : An observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design involving 335 respondents selected through simple random sampling.

Findings : Although 86.6% of respondents had good knowledge about healthy houses, only 52.5% lived in healthy house conditions.
