This study aims to clarify the overarching association between procrastination and health, as well as potential moderators, by conducting a systematic three-level meta-analysis. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a search across PubMed, Wiley, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases resulted in 66 studies with 32,131 participants. Results indicated a moderate positive correlation between procrastination and adverse health outcomes ( = 0.2901, < 0.001). Moderating effect was found for the procrastination subtype ( = 4.33, = 0.04; = 0.27, < 0.05; = 0.32, < 0.05). Such evidence not only sheds light on the exact association between procrastination and health but also highlights the potentially severer repercussions on domain-specific procrastinators.
