Abstract

This quantitative study analyzed determinants of human and animal wellbeing in Nigeria and explored correlations between associated factors. Statistical analysis of secondary data on 30 variables related to healthcare, income, education, safety, animal health, welfare policies, and environmental conditions revealed positive correlations between human life expectancy and healthcare access, income, employment, and safety. Animal health positively associated with nutrition. However, animal welfare legislation negatively correlated with human lifespan. While correlational analysis provides valuable insights, limitations include inability to determine causation and capture temporal dynamics. Findings emphasize the need for integrated policies that holistically address socioeconomic, cultural, and policy dimensions shaping human-animal relations in Nigeria. Further research can build on this empirical foundation to inform synergistic approaches to optimizing wellbeing.
