Abstract: ‘’Lifestyle disorder" is a broad term used to describe health conditions or diseases primarily caused or influenced by an individual's lifestyle choices and habits.  These choices can include diet, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress levels, and sleep patterns. Some common lifestyle disorders include obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and certain types of cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objective was to find out the level of understanding of lifestyle disease patients regarding lifestyle modifications, their level of application in their daily activities, and their effects on managing diseases. It's important to note that lifestyle disorders often interact with one another. For example, obesity can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, while smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can exacerbate these risks. Lifestyle modifications, including adopting a balanced diet, regular physical activity, stress management, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking, can significantly reduce the risk and progression of lifestyle disorders. Early detection and appropriate medical care are also crucial for managing these conditions effectively. People should be aware of their lifestyle and think about how a lousy lifestyle can turn their life into a serious case. Making positive changes to one's lifestyle, such as adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help prevent and manage these disorders.
