• Resumen

  • Lifestyle allows individuals to adopt behaviours that enable them to develop different habits that improve their living conditions. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the lifestyle of people who attend a health facility during the COVID-19 pandemic in northern Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study comprising a total of 160 patients attending a health facility who responded to a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and the Fantastic Questionnaire. The results show that 5% (n=8) of patients have a lifestyle that is at risk, 8.1% (n=13) have a poor lifestyle, 52.5% (n=84) have a regular lifestyle, 16.3% (n=26) have a good lifestyle, and 18.1% (n=29) have an excellent lifestyle. In conclusion, educational counselling should be implemented on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and how to prevent risky behaviours that are harmful to health.
