Table 11 shows the significance to determine the significant relationship between
the profile of the respondents and level of awareness on nutritional status in relation to
job performance of police officers in Indang, Cavite.
For the significance of age and awareness, the Somer’s d statistics is 0.048
indicating there is a negligible correlation between age and level of awareness on
nutritional status in relation to job performance of police officers in Indang, Cavite. The
p-value (0.627) which is greater than α =0.05 , the researchers decided to retain the null
hypothesis. There is no significant relationship between age and awareness of
nutritional status. The correlation is too small to indicate any meaningful association.
Age does not show a significant correlation with awareness of nutritional status among
police officers. This suggests that regardless of age group, awareness levels on
nutritional issues remain consistent across this demographic.
For the significance of sex and awareness, the Cramer’s V statistics is 0.026
indicating there is a negligible correlation between sex and level of awareness on
nutritional status in relation to job performance of police officers in Indang, Cavite. The
p-value (0.283) which is greater than α =0.05 , the researchers decided to retain the null
hypothesis. There is no significant relationship between sex and awareness of
nutritional status. Sex does not appear to influence awareness significantly based on
the analysis. This suggests that regardless of sex group, awareness levels on nutritional

 FINAL RESULTS

For the significance of rank and awareness, the Somer’s d statistics is -0.059
indicating there is a negligible correlation between rank and level of awareness on
nutritional status in relation to job performance of police officers in Indang, Cavite. The
p-value (0.574) which is greater than α=0.05, the researchers decided to retain the null
hypothesis. There is no significant relationship between rank (job position) and
awareness of nutritional status. The correlation is weak and does not support a
meaningful association. Similarly, job rank or position within the police force does not
influence awareness significantly. Whether an officer holds a higher or lower rank, their
awareness of nutritional status does not vary significantly.
For the significance of sex civil status and awareness, the Cramer’s V statistics is
0.422 indicating there is a moderate positive correlation between civil status and level of
awareness on nutritional status in relation to job performance of police officers in
Indang, Cavite. The p-value (0.004) which is less than α=0.05, the researchers decided
to reject the null hypothesis. There is a significant positive relationship between civil
status (married or single) and awareness of nutritional status. The significant positive
correlation between civil status and awareness indicates that marital status plays a role
in nutritional awareness among police officers. Married officers are more likely to be
aware of nutritional issues compared to single officers.
