Introduction: Lifestyle Medicine (MEV) is a solution to reduce death and preventable diseases, focusing on lifestyle-related health management. To achieve this, this specialty follows six main pillars: physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress control, social connection and avoidance of dangerous substances. Healthy daily habits and lifestyle behaviors are fundamental to maintaining health. Objective: To analyze and compare the quality of life of students in the first and sixth years of the Faculdade de Medicina de Campos (FMC), based on the pillars of lifestyle in the first semester of 2023. Method: This is a cross-sectional observational study, which collected data through the application of a questionnaire based on the Lifestyle Questionnaire adapted to the Portuguese language. This questionnaire aims to evaluate the six pillars of the MEV and has 26 questions scored from 0 to 4, where an average was taken to compare the quality of life of the 1st and 6th years, in which the average of 85 to 100 points is classified as excellent, 70 to 84 as very good, 55 to 69 as good, 35 to 54 as fair and 0 to 34 as needs improvement. Authorized by CEP 64953122.6.0000.5244. Results: To date, 168 questionnaires have been analyzed, 125 from the 1st year and 43 from the last. Of these, an average of 67.07 points was observed for the 1st year and 64.98 points for the 6th year, both of which were classified as good. Even when the 6 pillars were separated for evaluation, there is no big difference between the years analyzed, although statistical methods have not yet been carried out, but it was clear that the stress in the 6th year (average 7.9) was greater than in the 1st year (average 9.19). Conclusion: Up to this point in the study, no differences were observed in students' quality of life between the first and last year of the medical course, where data collection continues.
