Abstract

Food serves as essential fuel for the human body, providing vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein, and antioxidants. Numerous studies have established a positive correlation between healthy dietary habits and improved health outcomes. This study offers a novel perspective by examining how the impact of dietary habits on overall health varies by age and gender. The research focuses on individuals aged 16 and above, exploring how meal frequency, meal types, and the interval between meals influence health across different age groups. Data were collected through a structured survey and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to identify patterns and significant associations. Preliminary findings indicate that dietary habits significantly affect health outcomes, with variations observed across different age groups and genders. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and policymakers to develop age-specific and gender-specific dietary recommendations aimed at improving overall health.
