Summary

Introduction: Academic stress is defined as an activation reaction to stimuli and academic events that can cause alterations in diet and physical exercise. Students are the population most at risk of leading an unhealthy life as a result of stress. These bad habits and leading a sedentary lifestyle can cause an alteration in body composition and increase the risk of diseases.

Methodology: This is an observational, comparative, prospective and longitudinal study based on the collection of data from the same group of students at two different stages of the year (before exam preparation, January 2024 and during exam preparation, May 2024).

The tests carried out to assess eating habits, physical exercise and body composition were the Kidmed survey, the IPAQ test and measurement with a bioimpedance meter, respectively.
