Conclusions
The long-lasting pandemic has led to stress and anxiety among medical pre-graduate students. The restrictions adopted by various governments to reduce the outbreak of infection has strongly affected the youth. School closures, distance learning, and reduced social life have induced a change in hygiene habits, leading to an unhealthy lifestyle among the young individuals. The major unknown is what damage is induced by stress in younger populations. We know that an unhealthy lifestyle will have long-term effects on non-communicable diseases, but we have few tools to manage the generalized stress that has affected the younger generations during this pandemic.
