The mean score of this scale was 2.47(SD=0.34) for male and 2.41(SD=0.27) for female students. The highest mean out of a scale of 4, was 2.96(SD=0.55) & 2.96(SD=0.49) for spiritual growth in male and female students respectively. The lowest mean score for female was 1.96(SD=0.53) in term of Physical activity subscale. Except for Physical activity subscale, there was no major difference between other subscales by gender.Conclusions: By adopting a healthier lifestyle, Health status of an individual can be significantly improved.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
