Abstract

The study investigated the influence of family size, income and marriage types of healthy life of randomly selected families. It adopted the ex-post-factor research design within Ikenne Local Governmentarea of Ogun state.Four hypotheses were tested and analyzed by the use of multiple regression and independent t-tests. All hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance.The findings revealed that the three independent variables contributed 28.1 % to healthy living and were significant. Also family income was the most contributor to healthy living followed by home types and family size. The result also indicated that people who are higher income earners and monogamous family settings do enjoy better health than lower income earners in separated home. From the result of the study, it is therefore recommended that families should limit the number of children and dependents so as to enjoy better health. Government and corporate enterprises should look into wages and salaries so that more money will be available for better healthy life. People should be encouraged to set up monogamous homes rather than separated or Polygamy.
