The research on lifestyle and eating habits and their effects on the mental health of school-going children is becoming increasingly important.

Objective: The objective of this research was to explore the relationships between lifestyle, eating habits, and mental health outcomes in school-going children. Methods: The study analyzed the data of 200 students (100 boys and 100 girls) of The Somaiya school aged between 13 to 15 years who responded to the lifestyle, eating habits, and mental health questionnaire used for data collection. The statistical procedure adopted by the researcher for the analysis and interpretation of data is “majors of central tendency mean”. Bar graphs and column graphs are used to show the data’s graphical representation. Results: The study shows that both boys and girls of The Somaiya School have good eating habits with mean scores of 102.11 and 102.09 respectively. Therefore, boys have better eating habits than girls, with a mean difference of 0.02. The mean scores of lifestyle of boys and girls are 6.06 and 6.62 respectively. Therefore, analysis & interpretation of data displays that boys have better lifestyles compared to girls with a mean difference of 0.56 as the lower the mean score better the lifestyle. The mean score of mental health of boys and girls are 16.27 and 14.72 respectively. Therefore, boys have a better quality of mental health as compared to girls with a mean difference of 1.55. The result of the study shows that both good lifestyles and good eating habits contribute to improving the mental health of school-going boys and girls.
