<p><em>Food behaviour and its outcome have become an important area of research. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to a dataset of 503 adults, and the associations between consumption of organic food products, overall diet, and multiple health outcomes were examined. Three important health outcomes (Body Mass Index (BMI), SBP, and the self-reported health score) were modelled as a function of consumption of organic food, diet quality, physical activity, age, income, and education level. Even after controlling for other possible confounding variables, results showed that increased intake of organic food significantly correlated with lower BMI (β = -0.075, p &lt; 0.001), lower systolic blood pressure (β = -0.122, p &lt; 0.001), and higher self-reported health scores (β = 0.029, p &lt; 0.001). Physical activity was the greatest predictor in all models. The results indicate that eating organic food may be an indicator of healthier lifestyle patterns, but because the research was conducted as a cross-sectional study, it is not possible to draw causal inferences.</em></p>
