Usually people live in slum faces unhealthy condition and also it leads to pollute the environment. It is evident that disease states of the inhabitants are strongly affected by lifestyle. Aim of the study is to find the relation between life style of these people and diseases, they usually suffer. Participants are randomly selected from different areas of Dhaka city like Meradia, Badda, Aftabnagar etc. Smoking habits, sanitation type, water treatment systems, food habits are largely related to asthma, diarrhea and skin diseases. Most of the slum dwellers use tube well water for all purposes of their work, thus density of population, unhealthy life condition, unhealthy sanitary systems, lack of physical activity leads them to suffer by different diseases like Diarrhea (35 %), Hypertension (22.5%), Skin Disease (17.5%) are the common diseases in the slum dwellers. 57 % slum dwellers seek professional help for diseases condition. If this practice increases along with the hygienic life style than disease rate will decrease. Slum dwellers are not even properly aware about vaccination.
