Background: The world is experiencing an unprecedented challenge due to COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdown measures had been enforced in many countries to restrict the spread of this communicable disease. Such constraints had unforeseen detrimental effects on lifestyle habits. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are non-contagious and are related to the interaction of various genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. WHO predicted that each year around 15 million people die from NCD. In India, NCDs contributed to around 5.87 million (60%) of all deaths in India. Pandemic led to harmful health behaviors, such as overeating, sedentary behavior with reduced physical activity, elevated alcohol and increased screen time causing impaired sleep. India poses a huge burden of NCDs and their risk factors which could synergize with COVID-19 for serious illness and outcome.Purpose: The main objective of this study is to describe the lifestyle related behavior changes during the COVID-19 pandemic among the young adults living.
