摘要：Health consciousness is a determinant of healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle in effect is a necessary condition for academic success. The study was conducted to examine the relationships that existed between health consciousness and eating habits. A sample of one hundred and fifty (150) students from the University of Ghana comprising of all four levels in the undergraduate programme were selected through a convenience sampling technique for the study. Data was collected through self- administered questionnaires which included questions that captured demography, health consciousness and eating habits of the respondents. The age range of the respondents was between 17 and 25 years. Results revealed a significant positive relationship between health consciousness and eating habits (p < 0.05). Findings and limitations as well as conclusions are discussed.
