Physical activity levels and dietary habits of young adults can affect future health conditions. Poor diet and low physical activeness can promote obesity, diabetes and other metabolic diseases. This study investigates the correlation between physical activity levels and lifestyle practices among adolescents in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh.

The sample was further divided into two age groups, 17-19 years and 20-23 years. Results indicate that increased physical activity is associated with healthier dietary habits. Most male participants (88%) were engaged in vigorous physical activity than female participants (84%) but preferred more fast foods than female participants. Lack was time and perceived high costs were the most common barriers among the youth (both male and female). The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to promote physical activity and healthy dietary habits as mean to enhance overall youth health in the region.
