The median IPAQ scores of the students consuming 2.5 L/d of water and more [657 (0–10179)] was higher that students consuming 1.5–2 L/d [337.5 (0–10533)] and 0–1.5 L/d [273 (0–8127)] of water (H = 83.166; ). The median IPAQ score of students who skipped meals at night [764.5 (0–3450)] was statistically higher compared to those who skipped breakfast [372 (0–10533)] (H = 21.893; ).
