If the objective of the survey is different from studying the lifestyle of the people then it will not provide accurate results. The question not structured properly to get exact information about the lifestyle. Also, the author does not mention about the sample size, the area, and the time at which the survey took place. The given factors also affect the outcome of the survey. More information is needed about the survey to make logical for the reasoning.
