Wechsler intelligence has defined intelligence as general ability which cannot be separated from emotions and feelings. Hence, with regard to interconnectedness of cognition and emotion, the importance of emotion in adaptive behavior is confirmed. Hence, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and health. Materials and methods: in this correlation study, 360 bachelor's students studying in Islamic Azad University of Sabzevar during 2012-2013 were selected, and examined using public health and emotional intelligence questionnaires.
