Only 6.06%, 9.85%, 24.24% and 10.61% of the students smokers, drinks alcohol, drinks coffee and chews Kolanut respectively. Majority of the Students (78.03%) live a stress-free life. This result shows that only a few of the students exhibits negative health-related behaviour while the majority has positive-related behaviour. It was recommended that positive attitudes and healthy lifestyles should be encouraged among students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. |
