Health awareness and lifestyle habits play a vital role in determining the overall well-being of individuals, especially women, who contribute significantly to family and society. This study aims to examine the level of health awareness and the lifestyle practices followed by women in Coimbatore City. The research focuses on understanding how factors such as age, education, and occupation influence health-related behaviors.

The study is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 102 women respondents selected using a convenient sampling method. Secondary data were gathered from books, journals, and online sources. The collected data were analyzed using statistical tools such as percentage analysis and ranking analysis.

The findings of the study reveal that although a considerable proportion of women possess basic health awareness, a significant gap exists between awareness and actual practice. Many respondents do not engage in regular physical exercise, fail to maintain a balanced diet, and neglect periodic health checkups. Additionally, participation in health awareness programs is found to be relatively low.

The study concludes that improving health awareness alone is not sufficient; there is a need to encourage behavioral changes among women to adopt healthier lifestyle habits. It suggests that government and healthcare organizations should conduct more awareness programs and promote preventive healthcare practices to enhance the quality of life among women.
