| dc.description.abstract | The study entitled “Effect of lifestyle on health status of farming families in Punjab” was undertaken to assess the different lifestyle components and health status of the farming community from the three socio-cultural zones of Punjab i.e. Doaba, Malwa and Majha. An interview schedule was prepared for the collection of the data. It was found that majority of the respondents had medium dietary diversity, nutrition intake, physical activity, stress management, personal health habits and availed medium medical advice. Interestingly meal frequency of the respondents was high with low substance abuse, and thus, the farming families of Punjab were found to have a moderate lifestyle. There was gender difference in stress management and nutrition intake. There was also significant difference among the three zones for dietary diversity, physical activity and in availing medical advice. The study reported that majority of the people from the farming families had good overall health. The physical health of majority was good while mental health was average. There was gender difference in physical and mental health of farming community. Also across the three zones there was significant difference in respect to physical health of farming community. The findings of the study revealed that there is positive and significant relation between lifestyle and health. On the basis of the results of the current study, a booklet has been prepared which can be popularized among the farming community to improve their life style and overall health. | en_US |
