Students are young and their behavior can reflect the health status of the society they are going to live in the coming years. Lifestyle reflects social values, attitudes and activities of a person. Personal health is a function of lifestyle and behavior, which can be altered through medical device. The unhealthy lifestyle, common in modern societies, accounts for a high number of mortalities secondary to preventable diseases. The aim of the current study was to explore the students’ lifestyle in order to formulate policies and educational and behavioral programs to promote their overall wellbeing. Data were collected by mailed questionnaires in 2011 Jan–March from a Local sample of Bhilai City, State-Chhattisgarh having age group of , 18-21 years old. In this, only the 18 year old & above considered, however, there are no means to assess representativeness according to college performance. It has been found that in health-related surveys the response rate is lower in young boy than in young girl, and that reluctance to respond is associated with negative health behavior and poor college performance. If active responding were selective in that direction also here, the associations found would be weak as compared to the situation where everyone would have responded. We have found that addiction of pan was more in college A as compared to college B, C, and D and also B+ blood group of college A was more as compared to college B,C and D. Disease history of cancer in college C was more as compared to college A and B.Keywords
