Summary

This cross-sectional study explored the impact of medical education on the health and lifestyle behaviors of undergraduate medical students at Nishtar Medical University, Multan. Medical training is known to be academically and emotionally demanding, which can significantly influence students' physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and mental well-being.

Data were collected through a structured, self-administered questionnaire distributed to medical students across different years of study. The survey assessed lifestyle domains including diet, exercise, sleep patterns, stress, and coping mechanisms. Demographic details and academic year were also recorded.

The primary objective was to evaluate the association between the intensity of medical education and students' overall health and lifestyle. Findings aim to provide insight into how medical training environments shape future physicians' personal health practices and to identify potential areas for institutional support and wellness interventions.
