    (Iris Publisher, 2023-02-10) Fakunle, S.O.
    The purpose of this study is to delve into the healthy lifestyle of public fare collectors and bus drivers in Akure, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study of 33 bus drivers and 33 fare collectors from the bus terminal situated in FUTA North gate, Cathedral, Ilesa garage, Benin garage, and Old garage was quantitatively analyzed. Anamnesis and the Individual Lifestyle Profile (ILP) questionnaire were used to establish the scores for nutrition, preventive behaviour, stress control, and social relationship. Quantitative data collection emanates from 1st October to 31st October 2022. The confidence level adopted for this study was 95% (p≤0.05), and chi-square was employed for data analysis. The study found that there was a significant difference (p>0.001) between fare collectors and bus drivers for a time in the transport union (11.7±5.53; 5.24±4.45 years), time on the job (9.36±7.42; 5.03±4.35 years) and age (41.46±7.46; 32.41±7.77 years). The study also found that there were no associations between the answers regarding the job (p>0.05). Concerning the four ILPs, the fare collectors and bus drivers presented negative behaviour for nutrition (p=0.79), preventive behaviour (p=0.08), stress control (p=0.87), and social relationships (p=0.56) with no associations between groups. In conclusion, it was discovered that there were associations between time on the job and age, but there was no association in the healthy lifestyle as regards the comparison of fare collectors and bus drivers. Finally, public fare collectors and bus drivers have a negative lifestyle profile regarding nutrition.
